That Girl

This tv show stared Marlo Thomas as Ann Marie, and Ted Bessell as her boyfriend Donald Hollinger. Ann Marie is a independent gal, who moves from her parents home to New York to try to become a actress. The show started in 1966, and ran ’till 1971. The first 3 seasons are out on dvd. The 1st season is my favorite!

Vivian Leigh

Vivian Leigh was born on Nov 5, 1913 in India. When she was only six years old, her parents sent her to a boarding school. Their she fell in love with acting! In the 30’s she went to Hollywood to try to become a actress. Her first movies didn’t do very well, but in 1939, she made one of the best movies ever made, “Gone with the Wind”! She married Laurence Oliver in 1940, and they made several movies together and did many plays too. Leigh died in 1967 from chronic tuberculosis. She made only 19 movies, but many of them are now classics.

 

Rise Stevens

Rise Stevens was born in New York in 1913. She attended the N.Y Julliard School of Music. She was only in 9 movies, but her greatest accomplishment was playing “Carmen” at the Metropolitan Opera in NY. Some of her movies included, “The Chocolate Soldier” with Nelson Eddy, and “Going My Way” with Bing Crosby. She is still living in New York.

Grace Kelly

A real-life fairy tale! Grace Kelly was born on Nov. 12, 1929. She made more than 10 movies in her career before she married Prince Rainier of Monaco in April 19, 1956. She was one of Alfred Hitchcock’s favorite leading actress, with the movies “To Catch A Thief”, “Dial M for Murder”, and “Rear Window”. Her last movie was “High Society” and then she became Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco! At her wedding, she wore a bridal gown that was made by MGM designer, Helen Rose. It was made from 125 yards of silk, 100 yards of silk net, a 125 year-old piece of rose point lace that she bought from a museum and thousands of little pearls that were hand sewn on her veil! It was the most expensive gown the Helen Rose ever made! Grace Kelly died on Sep. 14, 1982 from a car accident that occurred while she was driving and had a stroke. A Grace Kelly stamp came out in the 90’s.

 

Betty Grable

Betty Grable made over 80 movies! Most of them were colorfull, fun musicals, which made her famous. She only made 2 serious movies, “Yank in the R.A.F” and “I Wake up Screaming”. She really disliked doing these movies, because she know that her fans didn’t want to see her in movies that weren’t song and dances. “Chrashing Hollywood” was her first movie were she actually got credit for it. “Pigskin Parade” really set her and a young singer named Judy Garland. She started making musicals, and soon she was the sweetheart of the movies. Her movies were always colorful, fun, and full of music. Some of her musicals were “Mother Wore Tights”, “My Blue Heaven”, “Pin-Up Girl”, “”Farmer Takes A Wife”, “The Dolly Sisters”, and many more! She died of lung cancer in 1973. Now they have some of her movies out on dvd in a Betty Grable collection set.
