Sibling names are incorrect. Your accusations concerning my great-grandmother being a "scumbag" are disgusting. So, you do some random 'research' with sources that are not confirmed, and you have the audacity to print it? By the way, I don't know where your info is coming from — but, I might suggest that you stop relying on incorrect info. This is my family, not yours. <br /><br />Contact you? Who are you, and why would I do that? Give me a real name, and some info about YOU. Not some 'Hollywood' wannabe fakery. How would you like it if I lied about your family and plastered it all over the Internet? Yes, Corliss may have been a public figure, but the rest of my family is not. Shame on you.

First and foremost, I am a Presidential Historian. Believe it or not, I was once considered for the Director's position of the Woodrow Wilson Birthplace in Staunton, Virginia.<br /> Secondly, I am the former Village Historian of Ossining, NY, where Florence met her tragic end.<br /> Coincidntally, the site of the car crash was a stone's throw away from one of my mother's childhood homes. She died in the Old Ossining Hospital. i have photocopies of the local newspaper accounts of the accident and her death, as well as a copy of her death certificate.<br /> I became acquainted with Florence through Ned Thanhouser, the grandson of the Thanhousers.<br /> We attended a ceremony at Florence's final resting place, where a headstone was finally erected in her memory, more than95 years after her death.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06746661596327000790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078055360046475963.post-55690575567352288972015-04-04T14:21:55.800-07:002015-04-04T14:21:55.800-07:00Hi there!

Since I last wrote in, I did my own digging on Florence La Badie.<br /><br />I found census records proving that her adopted mother was still living in New York in the 1920s, I tracked down the original source articles quoted by the cited blogs. Not a single source supports the fantastic allegations against Woodrow Wilson.<br /><br />And during the Christmas of 1914, Woodrow Wilson was actually surrounded by his three adult daughters in the wake of the death of the first Mrs. Wilson. All three spent Christmas and New Years at the White House and one of them gave birth to Wilson's grandson a few weeks later. The entire "affair" is pretty much bunk that is easily disproved. <br /><br />The verdict: The "murder" of Florence La Badie is an elaborate urban legend and all of the information about it can be traced back to a single book of very poor scholarship called "Stardust and Shadows"Fritzi Kramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866805242123627398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078055360046475963.post-36726190228104462212015-01-26T16:33:56.033-08:002015-01-26T16:33:56.033-08:00Hi Jen--

She exhibits a toughness similar to Stanwyck and gives her Mae a multidimensional texture. If it is reminiscent of a Warners film, it might be because several months before, Carole rejected a loanout from her home studio of Paramount to Warners to make "Taxi!" with James Cagney, deeming it a demotion of sorts. Loretta Young took the female lead, "Taxi!" became a substantial hit, and Lombard long regretted her decision.<br /><br />"Virtue," written by Robert Riskin (who would romance Lombard between her dalliances with Russ Columbo and Clark Gable), has much of a "Taxi!" feel to it, down to the cabbie as male lead portrayed by the poor man's Cagney, Pat O'Brien.VP81955https://www.blogger.com/profile/11792390726196611188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078055360046475963.post-30152017043413478452014-08-14T06:10:39.049-07:002014-08-14T06:10:39.049-07:00MSN Movies lists these films as "no-budget We...MSN Movies lists these films as "no-budget Westerns", so I can imagine what this was like to watch.

Her voice is fine. It's one of those instances where it would seem nice to see a star of her stature later on, but knowing the calibre of films in which she had made only ten years before this B-western, I almost wish that she hadn't made the film.<br /><br />My film interests straddle both silents and early talkies, as well as westerns.
