Shirley and Juliet

um hi

********************************************************

“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.

From Wikipedia:

Lady in a Cage is a 1964 American psychological thriller film directed by Walter Grauman, written and produced by Luther Davis,and released by Paramount Pictures. It stars Olivia de Havilland and features James Caan in his first substantial film role.

When an electrical power failure occurs, Mrs. Hilyard

(Olivia de Havilland), a wealthy widow recuperating from a broken hip, becomes trapped between floors in the cage-like elevator she has installed in her mansion. With her son Malcolm (William Swan) away for a summer weekend, she relies on the elevator’s emergency alarm to attract attention, but the only response comes from an alcoholic derelict, George (Jeff Corey), who enters the home, ignores her pleas and steals some small items.

The wino sells the stolen goods to a fence, then visits his prostitute friend, Sade

(Ann Sothern), and tells her of the treasure trove he has stumbled upon. The expensive goods George fenced attract the attention of three young hoodlums, Randall (James Caan), Elaine (Jennifer Billingsley) and Essie (Rafael Campos). The trio follows George and Sade back to the Hilyard home, where they conduct an orgy of violence, killing George the wino and locking Sade in a closet.

Randall then pulls himself up to the elevator and taunts Mrs. Hilyard with a note left behind by her son Malcolm, in which he threatens suicide because of her domineering manner. Shocked by the revelation, Mrs. Hilyard struggles with Randall, escapes the elevator, and crawls out of the house. Randall follows and, as he is attempting to drag her back inside, Mrs. Hilyard gouges his eyes, but is dragged inside by his accomplices. As she crawls back outside, the blinded assailant stumbles into the street and is run over by a passing automobile, whereupon police arrive to arrest the surviving intruders and comfort the victim.

“Old Jack sat on a bench in the old plaza in the Old Town of Los Angeles. The district thereabouts, Mexicans to the south, Chinese to the east, Italians to the north, immigrant Jews to the West, had escaped those things called improvements. It remained about as it had been since Los Angeles was a tough cow town, down through the era of round cuffs and bustles, the coming of the gasoline buggy and the “settlers” from the East. So remained many of its old-time habitues.”

which only lasted for about a year.
Diminishing work forced her to sell her Malibu home.
Shelia skipped two grades before going to the University. She was the little gal with the big brain just like in Dobie Gillis. So, she went to Harvard Law, and became an attorney back in Los Angeles, then entered politics, going to the California state legislature.
Before Dobie Gillis she was in another television show, which I haven’t seen. She also appeared variously here and there.
Such an interesting life. If I had better writing skills, I would want to write a screen play about her!

“Donna Reed

was born Donna Belle Mullenger on a farm near Denison, Iowa, the eldest of five children. After graduating from Denison High School, Reed planned to become a teacher, but was unable to pay for college. She decided to move to California to attend Los Angeles City College on the advice of her aunt. While attending college, she performed in various stage productions but had no plans to become an actress. After receiving several offers to screen test for studios, Reed eventually signed with MGM, but insisted on finishing her education first. Her career spanned more than 40 years, with performances in more than 40 films. In 1953, she received the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Lorene Burke in the war drama From Here to Eternity.

Reed is probably most widely known for her work in television, notably as Donna Stone, a middle-class American mother and housewife in the sitcom The Donna Reed Show (1958–66), in which her character was more assertive than most other television mothers of the era. She received numerous Emmy Award nominations for this role and the Golden Globe Award for Best TV Star in 1963.

In 1941 after signing with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Reed made her film debut in The Get-Away opposite Robert Sterling; she was billed as Donna Adams. MGM soon changed her name to Donna Reed, as there was anti-German feeling during World War II. She starred in The Courtship of Andy Hardy and had a supporting role with Edward Arnold in Eyes in the Night (1942). In 1943, she appeared in The Human Comedy with Mickey Rooney, and in They Were Expendable in 1945.

Her “girl-next-door” good looks and warm onstage personality made her a popular pin-up for many GIs during World War II. She personally answered letters from many GIs serving overseas.

In 1945, Reed struggled with an English accent and with a passive, underwritten role as Gladys Hallward in the first cinema adaptation of the Oscar Wilde novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Following the release of It’s a Wonderful Life, Reed appeared in Green Dolphin Street (1947) with Lana Turner and Van Heflin. In 1949 she expressed a desire for better roles.[7] Several years later, she performed in Scandal Sheet (1952).

In 1953, Reed played the role of Alma “Lorene” Burke, girlfriend of Montgomery Clift’s character, in the World War II drama From Here to Eternity. The role earned Reed an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for 1953.[8]

From 1958 to 1966, Reed starred in The Donna Reed Show, a television series produced by her then-husband, Tony Owen. The show featured her as Donna Stone, the wife of pediatrician Alex Stone (Carl Betz) and mother of Jeff (Paul Petersen) and Mary Stone (Shelley Fabares). The show ran for eight seasons on ABC. Reed won a Golden Globe Award and earned four Emmy Award nominations for her work on the series.”

Brie:

Years ago living somewhere along highway 101 in California between Frisco and LA, there was a drive-in movie which occasionally showed adult films, which were mostly soft core, though one time they showed some hard core with the penetration smudged out. Almost forgot to mention that the screen could be seen from the highway!
Usually, before the movie they would play such tunes on the speaker as “Mind Games” by John Lennon, while I was in my Vega listening, then during the movie a trip to the snack bar. Sometime during the movie, I might sneak my hand on my private parts during the sex scenes– never got caught unlike Pee Wee Herman, who got busted in a Florida theater. You could get away with more in your own car as opposed to a public theater . Saw “Flesh Gordon” starring Hillary Summers

acting under another name.The house I was renting was next to an oil well, which looked like a giant grasshopper as someone put antenna on it. Also, the house was within easy walking distance to a Kmart–bigger than Walmart back then!
I do believe that Patty Hearst was driven down that highway on their way to the S.L.A. shootout in Los Angeles– though Patty missed the actual shootout.

Almost forgot to mention that there was a Pussycat movie theater showing X-rated movies in a nearby hick town, though I never went in there back then.

***************************************************

From Wikipedia:

“Sybil Jason

(born Sybil Jacobson; 23 November 1927 – 23 August 2011) was a South African-born American motion-picture child actress who, in the late 1930s, was presented as a rival to Shirley Temple.

Born in Cape Town, South Africa, she began playing the piano at age two and, a year later, began making public appearances doing impersonations. She was introduced to the theatre-going public of London by way of her uncle, Harry Jacobson, a then-popular London orchestra leader and also pianist. The apex of her career came with a concert performance with Frances Day at London’s Palace Theatre. Jason’s theatre work led to appearances on radio and phonograph records, and a supporting role in the film Barnacle Bill (1935).

Irving Asher, the head of Warner Bros.’ London studio, saw Jason’s performance in Barnacle Bill and subsequently arranged for her to make a screen test for the studio. The test was a success, resulting in Warner Bros. signing her to a contract. Her American film debut came as the lead in Little Big Shot (1935), directed by Michael Curtiz and co-starring Glenda Farrell, Robert Armstrong, and Edward Everett Horton. Jason followed this with supporting roles opposite some of Warner Bros. most popular stars, including Kay Francis in I Found Stella Parish (1935), Al Jolson in The Singing Kid (1936), Pat O’Brien and Humphrey Bogart in The Great O’Malley (1937), and again with Kay Francis in Comet Over Broadway (1938). Warners also starred her in The Captain’s Kid (1937), and four Vitaphone two-reelers filmed in Technicolor: Changing of the Guard, A Day at Santa Anita, Little Pioneer, and The Littlest Diplomat.

Jason, however, never became the major rival to Shirley Temple that Warner Bros. had hoped for and, her film career ended after playing two supporting roles at 20th-Century Fox. These films — The Little Princess (1939) and The Blue Bird (1940) — were in support of Temple, who became her lifelong friend.

Sybil Jason became a naturalized United States citizen in 1952.
Died 23 August 2011 (aged 83)
Northridge, California, U.S.”

“However, there are some perceptible directors, producers, and casting agents who have the ability to look at a young girl dressed in a sweater and saddle shoes

and be able to envision a potentially glamourous box office winner.” (“MY FIFTEEN MINUTES” by Sybil Jason)

INCREDIBLY STRANGE

um hi

“Earl Stanley Gardner’s Perry Mason, starring film noir veteran Raymond Burr as the titular trial lawyer, had been airing in black and white since its inception 1957, but CBS decided to take a chance by opening its September 1966 season with a color episode called “The Case of the Twice-Told Twist.” The scene: Burr and his secretary (Barbara Hale)

park on the northwest corner of Third and Olive (formerly the Angels Flight Cafe) and take the funicular down to see a client. By the time they return fifteen minutes later, juvenile delinquents have stripped their car.”
“The Outsider [I loved that show!] ran for only a season, in 1968-1969, on NBC, but in many ways, Darren McGavin’s down-on-his-luck loner detective, David Ross, served as pulp novelist and screenwriter Roy Huggins’s prototype for James Garner’s more successful Jim Rockford a couple of years later. One early episode called “Through a Stained Glass Window” took advantage of the last two vestiges of old Bunker Hill: Angels Flight and the Castle, which by then had been sawed into three pieces and moved to Highland Park.”
“The next time we see Bunker Hill, it’s playing itself: a post-apocalyptic wasteland in The Omega Man (1971), a Charlton Heston movie about earth’s last living human fighting an army of vampires. A hundred years of Los Angeles history — of beautiful old homes, tourist hotels and working-class apartments, each an integral part of the growth and survival of the city as a great urban center –has been trampled in the dust.”

“Virginia Weidler

(March 21, 1927 – July 1, 1968) was an American child actress, popular in Hollywood films during the 1930s and 1940s.

Weidler made her first film appearance in 1933. Over the next few years, she was cast in minor roles for RKO and Paramount Pictures. Neither studio made more extensive use of her, and when Paramount did not extend her contract, she was signed by MGM in 1938. Her first film for MGM was with their leading male star Mickey Rooney in Love Is a Headache (1938). The film was a success and Weidler was later cast in larger roles. She was one of the all-female cast of the 1939 film The Women, as Norma Shearer’s character’s daughter.

Her next major success was The Philadelphia Story (1940) in which she played Dinah Lord, the witty younger sister of Tracy Lord (Katharine Hepburn). As a teenager she was less popular with audiences.

After a string of box-office disappointments, her film career ended with the 1943 film Best Foot Forward. At her retirement from the screen at age 16, she had appeared in more than forty films, and had acted with some of the biggest stars of the day, including Clark Gable and Myrna Loy in Too Hot to Handle, Bette Davis in All This and Heaven Too and Judy Garland in Babes on Broadway.

Her older brother, saxophonist George Weidler, (1926–1989) was married to Doris Day from March 1946 to May 1949. Prior to her birth, Weidler’s German-born father, Alfred Weidler, (1886–1966) had been an architect in Hamburg, Germany, but moved the family to Los Angeles in 1923 and went on to become a model builder with 20th Century Fox. Her mother, Margaret (née Meyer), had been an opera singer in Germany.

On March 27, 1947, aged 20, Weidler married Lionel Krisel.

Weidler refused to be interviewed for the remainder of her life, living in private. She remained married to Krisel until her death on July 1, 1968, when she suffered a heart attack in Los Angeles at age 41.”

“Peyton Place is a 1956 novel by Grace Metalious. The novel describes how three women are forced to come to terms with their identity, both as women and as sexual beings, in a small, conservative, gossipy New England town, with recurring themes of hypocrisy, social inequities and class privilege in a tale that includes incest, abortion, adultery, lust and murder. It sold 60,000 copies within the first ten days of its release and remained on the New York Times best seller list for 59 weeks. The novel spawned a franchise that would eventually run through four decades. Twentieth Century-Fox adapted it as a major motion picture in 1957, and Metalious wrote a follow-up novel that was published in 1959, called Return to Peyton Place, which was also filmed in 1961 using the same title. The original 1956 novel was adapted again in 1964, in what became a wildly successful prime time television series for 20th Century Fox Television that ran until 1969, and the term “Peyton Place” – an allusion to any small town or group that holds scandalous secrets – entered into the American lexicon.
The story starts in 1937 and continues through the years following World War II. While never mentioned explicitly by name, the novel does make several references that suggest Peyton Place is located within the state of New Hampshire: Vermont can be seen from across the Connecticut River.

The fictional Peyton Place also appears to be a composite of several real New Hampshire towns: Metalious’ hometown of Gilmanton, as well as Gilford, Laconia, Manchester and Plymouth, where at least some of the work was written at the Plymouth Inn on Main Street (the inn has since been torn down).

The main plot follows the lives of three women: lonely and repressed Constance MacKenzie;

her illegitimate daughter Allison;

and her employee Selena Cross,

a girl from across the tracks, or “from the shacks.” Several characters and events were drawn from events in nearby towns and people Metalious actually knew. Selena Cross was based on Barbara Roberts, a 16-year-old girl from the village of Gilmanton Ironworks, who murdered her father Sylvester after years of sexual abuse and buried his body under a sheep pen. In the novel, Selena kills her stepfather, since incest was considered too taboo for readers at the time. Metalious’ editor Kitty Messner made the change, much to the author’s dismay and disapproval.

Constance leaves Peyton Place for New York City at a young age and meets a man in the publishing business named Allison MacKenzie, who is already married with children. Constance becomes pregnant with Allison’s child, but Allison dies a few years after his daughter -also named Allison – is born. Both Constance and her daughter adopt Allison’s last name before the two return to Peyton Place as a “widow” and child, and Constance alters her daughter’s birth date to make her appear legitimate.

In Peyton Place, Nellie marries Lucas Cross shortly after their daughter Selena’s birth, although Selena is not Lucas’ child. Paul, Lucas’s son and Selena’s stepbrother, left Peyton Place after he accused Lucas of stealing his money. Nellie and Lucas later had a child together—Joey—who lives with the couple and Selena in “the shacks,” a poor section of town. When Selena turned 14 years old, Lucas began to abuse her, impregnating her and leaving the local doctor in a troublesome situation in which he decided to perform an abortion. The doctor made Lucas leave town, and after she discovered this, Nellie committed suicide by hanging. Leslie Harrington, the richest man in town, was shattered when he lost his only son, Rodney, in a car accident.”

From Peyton Place by Grace Metalious:

“Allison laughed and laughed as she made her way out of the fun house [at the carnival]. She shrieked with laughter when the wind machine blew her skirts up over her head.”

Also:

“Your [Constance] legs are absolutely wanton, do you know it?”
“Am I good for you, darling?”

And:
“The girl [Selena] was wearing a dress of lavender linen, and a pair of sheer stockings. Her shoes were new. Look at that girl! Earrings in court! She is the type who will cross her legs and hoist her skirts when she gets on the stand.”
