antoniacarlotta Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 After running into a burning building and saving thousands of dollars of unreleased films, Carl Laemmle offered Sarah Schwartz a role in any and every Universal film as long as she wanted it. She ultimately appeared (and screamed!) in more than 2000 films between 1918 and 1947 or so, including Dracula, Phantom of the Opera, Frankenstein, Murders in the Rue Morgue, Waterloo Bridge, and more. I just think this story is so cool. I'd love to start a thread where if anyone sees her pop up in their movie, they post about it in here or even post a picture of it! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt_Markoff Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Industry trivia is fun stuff. Its amazing to learn about people who behaved on impulse and decided things on whim and created things (or destroyed things) with utter passion...living with the result, whatever it was. So unlike today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot to tell how while on her deathbed in '49, Sarah Schwartz also got the honchos at Universal to promise to bring her nephew Bernard out to Hollywood from the Bronx for a screen test! What, surely you know how Tony Curtis got his start in the biz, don't ya?! (...sorry, couldn't resist, and of course just kidding...AND once again an enjoyable contribution to the boards here, young lady!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
