		<description><![CDATA[Tyrone Power III: Gay Rumors, Errol Flynn
So if Tyrone Power was off having gay liaisons while he was at Fox, it was in another part of the world in someone&#8217;s sub-sub-basement (while he was working 18 hours a day at Fox), because if Darryl Zanuck even had so much of a whiff of it, that would have been itsville.
Case in point: William Eythe. Heard of him? Most haven&#8217;t. He was being brought along as a leading man by Fox in the &#8217;40s, working in The Ox Bow Incident, The Song of Bernadette, A Royal Scandal, etc. It was all systems go, since everyone else was in the service. He could have established himself the way that Dana Andrews had. When [...]]]></description>

Author and photographer Mark A. Vieira (right), who has been a friend for a number of years, has recently written no less than two books on Irving G. Thalberg, the young MGM mogul whose high-quality productions earned him both a reputation as Hollywood&#8217;s &#34;Boy Wonder&#34; and a special place in Oscar history as the name attached to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences&#8216; Memorial Award given to “creative producers whose bodies of work reflect a consistently high quality of motion picture production.” Thalberg even inspired a F. Scott Fitzgerald novel, the unfinished  The Last Tycoon.
Now, Mark&#8217;s two books may cover the same ground in terms of subject matter, but they&#8217;re radically different in terms of approach to [...]]]></description>

Wallace Beery, Marie Dressler in Min and Bill

Marie Dressler II: Silent Films, Movie Stardom
How did Marie Dressler react to her newfound stardom?
Marie basked in her success. She had been through enough trials in life &#8212; points when she couldn&#8217;t get a job &#8212; and so she was more than ready for fame and adoration. I think audiences loved that they could give that to her, too. It made them feel good to shower her with love, because she took it so gratefully and graciously. She was the loving grandmother that her fans wanted to protect and comfort, while she comforted, amused, and moved them in return.
Her stardom also points to something missing from modern movies. In the 1930s and into [...]]]></description>

Hedy Lamarr in Tortilla Flat

Hedy Lamarr &#8211; Q&#038;A with Author Patrick Agan: Part I
Do you have a favorite Hedy Lamarr film and/or performance? 
 As for a favorite Lamarr performance, I would have to say Tortilla Flat is right up there. Her performance as the Mexican girl, Dolores, was amazing in its simplicity and clarity, and Karl Freund&#8217;s cinematography brought out an earthiness that she&#8217;d never shown before. This was a girl who knew she was beautiful, but she also knew there was much more to life than that and wasn&#8217;t ready to settle for anything less than a faithful husband with a job. Hedy had to go to the front office to get that part. The chemistry between her [...]]]></description>

Author Patrick Agan, among whose books are Clint Eastwood: The Man Behind the Myth and The Decline and Fall of the Love Goddesses,  has been working on a biography of MGM star Hedy Lamarr, at one point considered one of the most beautiful women this side of Orion.
The Austrian-born &#34;exotic&#34; import was brought to the studio in the late 1930s, and would remain at MGM well into the following decade. Though hardly one of the greatest actresses to come out of either Europe or Hollywood, Lamarr possessed an undeniable charisma that made her thoroughly watchable in both biblical and modern tales, whether well cast or totally miscast,  whether fully clothed or fully naked (as in Gustav Machatý&#8217;s scandalous [...]]]></description>
