msladysoul Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Do any of know of Marjorie White? Oh my goodness, she was so pretty and talented. She was a wonderful comedienne, great with musical comedy. She stole every scene in every movie she was in. You can't help but notice her and like her. I saw her in one movie and I was hooked. I've seen many of her movies and she has yet to bore me. She's really great and if she hadn't died in 1935 at the height of her career, who knows what she would of become. She belongs as one of the best with Carole Lombard, Lucille Ball, Virginia O'Brien, Jean Harlow, Patsy Kelly, Pert Kelton. But she was in a class of her own. She was a hit on the stage to, she was in a long running show with Lupe Velez and Eleanor Powell. I guess her most known film is Woman Haters which she did with The Three Stooges, she had signed a contract at RKO before she died to be in a movie with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.... man that would of been great. She never was really a star of a movie but she was a great character actress and held her own with the big stars. She was the first to curse in films.

flickerknickers Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I fell in love with Marjorie White when I caught her stealing everything but the cameras in the l929 early talkie, "Sunnyside Up." She made poor Janet Gaynor look like a shadow because Marjorie had that marvelous dash and sparkle. In Sunnyside Up, she does several vaudeville-inspired numbers, especially one called, "I'm Forever Picking Daisies." She looked like off-screen she could be the life of the party. She looked great in her flapper clothes and hair-style. It'd be wonderful if TCM would show "Sunnyside Up" which also starred Charles Farrell and several famous vaudevillians.
