JackFavell Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 One of the most photographed people of the 20th century. She played the role on stage that one of her later movie co-stars made famous on film. Link to post Share on other sites
FredCDobbs Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 HA! I got it! You caused me to waste about 3 hours searching for photos of this dame! I almost said Barrymore, but she doesn't have Barrymore's nose. She was so beautiful, but we know her mostly as an older woman, and sometimes a mean one. I'll give someone else a chance to guess.

JackFavell Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I KNOW you have it Fred, because of your description. Good job! Wasn't she lovely in her younger days? Link to post Share on other sites
Hibi Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Gladys Cooper? Link to post Share on other sites
JackFavell Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Yes, Hibi! Gladys Cooper had an earlier career as a model, starting when she was a child. Her photographs graced millions of postcards and ads. The role she played on stage to great success was Leslie Crosbie in THE LETTER.

Hibi Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I knew she was considered a great beauty in her younger years, but didnt realize she had modeled. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
FredCDobbs Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 >but didnt realize she had modeled I didn't realize it either until Jack mentioned the postcards. Then I went searching for postcards and her name. I'm surprized she posed for so many. I've run out of ideas for now. Maybe someone else can post one, and give some clues if it is a difficult one.

Dothery Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 My favorite (recent) role of hers was as the rich lady in The Bishop's Wife, whom Cary Grant charms into humanity. She was lovely all her life and could act the pants off anybody. She was Robert Morley's mother-in-law, BTW. Link to post Share on other sites
mockingbird13 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 They do kind of don't they Val...but no. "This" little guy would actually get to play a 'cowpoke' (sort of) in what would be his all too sudden final role... Link to post Share on other sites
twinkeee Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 God, could it be John Garfield?....I see a bit of a resembalance in his eyes... -Twinkee Link to post Share on other sites

I love her in The Bishop's Wife, Dothery, mainly because she is so changed by Cary's presence, it shows how human anyone can be, if you dig a little into their lives and background. ! And I did not know she was Robert Morley's MIL. Thanks for the info! Link to post Share on other sites
slaytonf Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 OK, how about another older pic of a younger star? Who is this admirable lady?: Her heyday was in the silent era. In her class, she was at the top, however, her fortune was squandered by others. She suffered an eclipse that lasted many decades, until she regained success in another field, and recognition for her movie work. Hmm. That's an original narrative. . .
