[Do You Know Me?]

My first performing arts success came when I was a child and won a medal for reciting a pro-temperance poem. You won?t believe the title, ?No Kicka My Dog.?

 

I left high school (just a little early) and performed on the stock company circuit. My first movie role was in a successful early talkie. After another brief film appearance a producer strongly suggested I change my somewhat unusual name. I did and appearances in the Ziegfeld Follies followed. Then I returned to movies and was in a hit. My character attracted attention and I was pretty much typecast from then on. I worked in radio and on TV successfully, and my movie career spanned more than fifty years.

I saw your post and many names went through my head - none was Taylor and none quite fit. I thought I would sleep on it. Was about to do that when "Robert Taylor" popped into my head. I see I had some of the chronology off - but - still Robert Taylor. My first post on this thread was Mary Astor who was the demise of Miles Archer in *The Maltese Falcon* - I believe he thought she was "Miss Wonderly" at the time.

 

Will be back later.
