(KTTV-Ch.11 ?) started re-running You Bet Your Life late at night. (...although I did have vague memories of watching it as a kid with my parents when it was first-run back in the '50s) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they had her in kabuki makeup and stuff in Sunset Blvd., but still .... My second thought is "Did she outlive William Holden?" (who died in about the '80-'82 range, I think). If so, that would be life imitating art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, that would be life imitating art. She was only 50 or 51 at the time she filmed Sunset Blvd. Past the ingénue stage, definitely, but not on death's doorstep either. She did indeed outlive Mr. Holden, by about 18 months. He passed away in 1981, she in 1983. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, that would be life imitating art. I attended a public interview featuring her in 1979. She was very much alive, but she seemed emotionally unstabled and more than a bit vengeful. She spoke very little about her film career and was more focused on getting revenge concerning two men in her life. Still it was an eventful evening, actually being able to personally watch and listening to a real silent movie star. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I met her in '76 and she looked just like that photo. I used that Peter Lorre & Santa photo for my New Years card insert one year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
