I have loved Joan for many, many years. Her part in Topper Returns was wonderful. I believe she really loved Dick Powell, but he was a first class * *. Joan was a very classy lady! All that I have read of June Allyson had originally intrigued me. But through much research, I found many lies in her writings. She was ashamed of her childhood, among other things. I feel more sad that she couldn't be honest about her life. She was a good actress. I was born during the depression, I grew up poor, like everyone else in that era, but, we were taught to work, and being 4th among 6 siblings, we all made something of ourselves. I am not ashamed of my childhood. It made me what I am today. As a child, I loved June, but later, my feelings changed as I found more truths about her. I am a big Joan "Blondell fan!

In it she played a marriage broker. I remember it as Marriage and the Stockbroker or Love and the Marriagebroker I'm not sure. Anyone know what I'm talking about? What was the name of it?
