To other Steven Geray fans, I highly recommend his only starring performance in the movie SO DARK THE NIGHT (1946). I just saw this recently and loved it! It's a tremendous role for him, encompassing all the different facets of his on screen persona. Geray gets to do everything we love him for - you know, sweat, and look kind of suspicious but humble. But in this instance, he's playing a character on the right side of the law for a change, a forensic psychiatrist, out to find a murderer in a small french village. A fascinating small movie gem.
My goodness, a day of pulchritudinus birthdays - each and every one a beauty.....
Did Marie and Edna May ever make a film together? That would be a treasure...
Useless trivia:
Hedy owned one of the first barbeques in Acapulco; and in 1951, she cooked hamburgers for about 15 people and moi!!!
Neither of us liked lettuce on our burgers - if you ever hear this fact on "Jeopardy", you heard it here first.....
Happy Birthday to all you lovely people!!
Larry
Larry can I just say I love reading your little anecdotes here? I am a newcomer to the site and not really familiar with anyone, including yourself. Forgive my ignorance if it's common knowledge amongst the community, but I'd love to hear the story of how you came to be involved in the world of the various old Hollywood legends as a youngster. Is there a thread you "hold court" in that has more of your stories? Heck, do you have a book? I'd read it.
I try not to infringe too much on Joe's great thread here - maybe a little, if the birthday person is familiar and I remember something... Joe does have a tendancy to trigger memeories sometimes!!!
I do "hold court" - or at least have done so - on an old thread called "Nell - Eleanor Doheny" and more so on one called "Larry's Classic Reminiscenes", which are both under this "People on Film" portion, I think...

SUSAN KOHNER is 77 today
One of my favorite actresses - she was good in Initiation of Life (1959), The Gene Krupa Story (1959), By Love Possessed (1961), and To Hell and Back (1955) as Maria with Audie Murphy. What a lovely woman she was.
