“Prior to 1914 the majority of the world’s films were made abroad. When the war disrupted European film production, American filmmakers leapfrogged ahead to capture the world market. Concentrating film production in the Los Angeles area, with its sunshine, temperate climate, and abundant land, and emphasizing maximum efficiency, American companies turned out films on a large scale. By 1920 these companies produced 80 percent of the world’s movies; by 1930, 90 percent.””
   Dominating the industry were the “Big Five” motion picture conglomerates: Loew’s, Inc., owner of the nation’s largest theater circuit and the parent company of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer; Paramount; Warner Bros.;Fox; and Radio-Keith-Orpheum (RKO). All of these integrated film production, distribution, and exhibition on a massive scale, nationally and internationally. Among the next rank of motion picture corporation, the “Little Three,” Universal Pictures and Columbia Pictures were similarly organized, though with proportionally fewer theaters. The last of the Little Three, United Artists, functioned principally as a backer and distributor for independently produced films.”

“Shirley [Temple] is always the center of the camera’s attention. Wearing a very short, frilly dress and with her chubby legs and full cheeks,

she seems scarcely more that a toddler, making her dancing ability seem almost preternatural. “Baby Take a Bow” proved to be among the most popular movies of the year.Her admirers respond to her dubious coquetry, to the sight of her well-shaped and desirable little body.”
  “Ironically named Joy and memorably played by eight-year-old Jane Withers,

who became a child star in her own right in Fox’s B movies. Pampered and spoiled, she is mean, loud, and destructive.”   
(“The Little Girl who fought the Great Depression Shirley Temple and 1930s America” by John F. Kasson)

“Judith Carr (Juliet Anderson or Aunt Peg) was born and grew up in Burbank, California, the daughter of a jazz trumpet player and an aspiring nurse.  Graduating from Burbank High School in 1956 (where she was a straight-A student), she briefly attended Long Beach State College as an art major before relocating to Hayama, Japan, in 1961, with her then lover, a Navy sailor. A brief marriage to him did not work out, ending in 1964, and she spent the next thirteen years in various occupations, including clerical worker, teaching assistant in kindergarten and high school, and English as a Second Language teacher, and working as a radio journalist in Finland.

In 1963, while living in Miami, Anderson was secretary to a producer of “nudie” movies and a receptionist at the Burger King home office; she also worked for Avis during this period. In her website autobiography, she indicates that she appeared in an (unnamed) sexploitation film in 1963, portraying a police sergeant.

During this time, Anderson was known by her birth name of Judith Carr. She did not begin using the moniker “Juliet Anderson”

until later in her adult film career, when she made the transition from 8mm productions to feature films.

“Elsa Lanchester

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

(28 October 1902 – 26 December 1986) was an English character actress with a long career in theatre, film and television. Lanchester studied dance as a child and after World War I began performing in theatre and cabaret, where she established her career over the following decade. She met the actor Charles Laughton in 1927, and they were married two
years later.  His (Charles Laughton) success in American films resulted in the couple moving to Hollywood, where Lanchester played small film roles. Her role as the title character in Bride of Frankenstein (1935) brought her recognition. She played supporting roles through the 1940s and 1950s. She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for Come to the Stable (1949) and Witness for the Prosecution (1957), the last of twelve films in which she appeared with Laughton. Following Laughton’s death in 1962, Lanchester resumed her career with appearances in such Disney films as Mary Poppins (1964), That Darn Cat! (1965) and Blackbeard’s Ghost (1968). The horror film Willard (1971) was highly successful, and one of her last roles was in Murder By Death (1976).”

The Looters by John Reese
“Mildred Sanderson

mildred

was a short,plump woman with lovely legs. Even as a youngster she had looked both matronly and sexy, and the way she sat had always irritated him. He wondered if her mother had ever in her life told her to keep
her knees together. She sat there with her knees wide apart, her firm and attractive inner legs visible.”

“Audrey Steele

audrey

was as composed as ever, as perfectly dressed, and as beautiful. She wore a blue-grey suit, with shoes of darker blue. It was almost a pleasure to see her shaken, to see her young pink face go old and haggard under the
crispy and haughty perfection of her graying curles. He thought that here was the only woman her age who could wear so much scent and get away with it. He was sure, too, that she got away with only a panty girdle, and that her rather
small breasts  were not quite as firm as she made them look. There was something touching about her slimness — the nice legs in their sheer hose, the unused suppleness of her waist and hips, the wasted flat belly…”
