(again, filling in for fair while he's on vacation/working on his bucket list)
Our first greetings go out to one of the early stars of Hollywood. A young Mr. Gambit enjoyed reruns of her on the big-screen, including Alias Jimmy Valentine, The Thirteenth Chair, The Big House, Surrender, Island of Lost Souls, Red-Headed Woman, Part Time Wife, The Big Broadcast, Island of the Lost Souls, The Poor Rich, Affairs of a Gentleman, and Ruggles of Red Gap. Mr. Gambit was disappointed to learn that she has been the original choice to play Jane in Tarzan the Ape Man (the 1932 version), but she turned it down and it made a star out of Maureen O'Sullivan. After 10 years making films, she retired from acting at the age of 31. The lovely Leila Hyams.
