Dear Sharrie.....
I live in Florence AZ where Tom Mix had his accident, there
are still local residents who remember seeing the Cord being
towed into town and having a close up look at the vehicle,
there is also one resident who was friends with the coroners
daughter and says it was just as much the steering wheel
as the metal suitcase that killed him. on Maybelline cousins

Thanks for this fascinating material. I just saw Marjorie
Woodworth in "Broadway Limited" and thought she was
terrific. I had previously seen her in "All American Coed."
Looking at her career, I was surprised that it was so short.
She seems to have suddenly become a star in 1940, and
was in demand in 1941 and 1942, but suddenly she flamed
out in 1943. Hollywood in the Golden Age (1920's-1950's)
was a brutal system. Typically, most women stars started
around 20, rose for four or five years, starred in five-ten
movies from 25-30 and then faded out of the business after
getting smaller and smaller roles for another five years. She
seems to have condensed this arc to 1/3 of its normal life
span. Of course there were the exceptional actresses who
continued in the business their whole lives, like Bettie Davis
and Katherine Hepburn. I am curious why she quit. She
was beautiful and talented and absolutely star material.
Why did she give up such a promising career at 24? I hope
it was not because she got married and her husbandforced her to quit. That happened to many promising actresses back then. |
Sharrie, I am grateful to Twitter. Without Twitter, I would never have found you. Your uncle would have ruled the world if he were starting out today. Think about how starved the world is for glamor. He walked, talked and breathed it into existence. I wish I had met him. I truly believe that after I get and read your book, I will feel like part of the family.

The posters and magazine covers of the beautiful young models and starlets painted by Zoe Mozert, are very glamorous! Maybelline had such a presence in the Era of Elegance! Today Maybelline New York remains the No. 1 brand globally and that includes my home too! on 1930's Maybelline ad painted by Zoë Mozert, the most famous female pin-up artist of her day Shellyfire04
It seems like a pretty ruthless system doesn't it? There must have many beautiful & sometimes talented young girls that were shot into the glamorous world of Hollywood only to be cast aside 5 minutes later ,it must have been hard for a lot them to return to the normal world after all that promise & excitement. I can't believe how dashing Fred McMurray is,quite different from My 3 Sons. Carol Lombard is just beautiful ,it is so sad that she died the way she did. I adore those Maybelline ads ,i am on a mission to collect as many as i can:) on Carole Lombard and Fred MacMurray star in 1938 film, True Confession, introducing "Miss Typical America" Eleanor Fisher.

She certainly was a beautiful girl.It's sad that her fame was so fleeting.I hope she had a good life after all that,I'll have to look it up. Hi Sharrie,i hope you are well.My apologies for my absence,things have just been very busy as usual with my family. I wanted to tell you that i am now the proud owner of a 1930's?(i think) box of Maybelline.It still has the brush and mascara,the mascara has been used a few times.I was so thrilled when i bought it on ebay i think the seller thought i was a little odd lol! I am also looking at purchasing a Maybelline ad featuring Elyse Knox. I hope you have a wonderful weekend! :) on SEXY GLAMOR SHOT OF MAYBELLINE MODEL MARJORIE WOODWORTH - HAND SIGNED BY HER - HAL ROACH PLAYER Mrs Cleaver
Wasn't Mark's Mother originally from KY. My mother always told me about them being friends before she went to Hollywood. Mother knew her from Fleming or Mason County, I think & they were friends. I would love to be able to contact Mark to see if he had ever heard of my mother, who would probably at that time have been called Doug (Douglas) Royce, Her "given name was Lola Douglas Royce... then she married & her last name was Fawns. When her first husband died during the war, she married my father, Oscar P Whitton, (Buster). I am Doris Whitton on MARK HARMON'S MOTHER, MAYBELLINE MODEL, ELYSE KNOX DIES AT 94
