Kid Dabb Posted January 5, 2013 Ok. You should be able to track her down with this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gagman66 Posted January 5, 2013 Dabb, Thanks I'll look this stuff up later. I refuse to believe that Fred had the right answer. He might as well share it if he does? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FredCDobbs Posted January 5, 2013 >I refuse to believe that Fred had the right answer. He might as well share it if he does? I don't care what you believe. Next time, do you want me to go ahead and name the actress and not give anyone else a chance? Kidd gave a very good clue that led me right to the name.

Kid Dabb Posted January 5, 2013 No hard feelings here. I mentioned she was being groomed to replace Clara Bow. Google the colored text and it drops you right in her lap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FredCDobbs Posted January 5, 2013 >No hard feelings here. I mentioned she was being groomed to replace Clara Bow. Google the colored text and it drops you right in her lap. That's exactly what I did, and up popped her name at the top of the Google list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gagman66 Posted January 5, 2013 Fred, Well, stop skipping around and give us the answer. This has been going on long enough. Apparently, nobody on Nitrateville, Golden Silents, or Golden Age Of Hollywood has the slightest idea who she could be? Do you know who my Tomboy is too? I expected it to be difficult because the actress looks very different in the still from what one is used to seeing her. The film she is shown in costume for is from 1922 or 1923. I have forgotten for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kid Dabb Posted January 5, 2013 And now for something completely different: The Larch.... The Larch. Mr. McGuire: I just want to say one word to you. Just one word. Benjamin: Yes, sir. Mr. McGuire: Are you listening? Benjamin: Yes, I am. Mr. McGuire: Decaf. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kid Dabb Posted January 6, 2013 This guy was out of the closet in the 1930's - his career was put in the closet by MGM because of it. Besides acting, he actually was a interior designer. He never returned to film and instead started a successful interior design business with his life partner and was supported by friends in Hollywood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gagman66 Posted January 6, 2013 Dabb, Yes, you even got the movie. Impressive! Did I miss something? That's to many clues. William Haines. Would know him at first glance and don't need any of those hints. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twinkeee Posted January 6, 2013 Congrats on your win Fred ! As usual, you proved to be smarter then the rest of us ! - twink Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kid Dabb Posted January 6, 2013 Alright William Haines. Nice one, gagman. No, I was just making sure somebody would latch onto something there and have an easier time of it this time around. I just got lucky with Bessie (no pun intended). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kid Dabb Posted January 6, 2013 Another Ziegfeld Follies girl and early sound actress, passed on, sadly, due to alcoholism in 1948. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gagman66 Posted January 6, 2013 Dabb, Sure looks like someone that I mentioned briefly earlier. I'd be surprised if it were anyone else. But the actress I am thinking of made some Silents. Starting in 1927. Maybe earlier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scrutney Posted January 6, 2013 mary eaton. (full disclosure) i have no idea who mary eaton was...i just followed your clues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gagman66 Posted January 6, 2013 I thought it was Mary Nolan. Appears that It's either one Mary tor the other? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kid Dabb Posted January 6, 2013 Yay! The clues worked :^0 This is Mary Eaton. Nice going, scrutney! She had a brief film career, no silents, appearing in two important early talkies: The Cocoanuts (1929) with the Marx Brothers (in which she reprised her role from the Broadway version) and Glorifying the American Girl (1929).
