Ann Blyth passed away Wednesday, though thankfully she leaves us with an impressive body of work. A tremendous actor, she turned in a stellar performance as Veda in MILDRED PIERCE (1945) at the age of 17. She gave generously of her time when I was researching the Phantom Lady book. During our conversation, I was struck by her wit and pointed humor. This photo is from the 1949 comedy ONCE MORE, MY DARLING.
Forever in our hearts, Ann Blyth.

Last week’s tour of Miami’s MDC Freedom Tower with the University of Navarra students was moving and powerful. If you haven’t had a chance to visit since the reopening last fall, I highly recommend.

More snapshots from the Paramount lot. Trailblazing director Dorothy Arzner is receiving prominent placement in the studio’s history. See this display in the archive. Did you know, that at Frances Ford Coppola’s request, the dressing room building was renamed after Dorothy Arzner in 2018 to honor her legacy? Coppola credits Arzner as being instrumental to his career, both inspiring his filmmaking and keeping him fed while he was at UCLA film school (she would place lunch for him underneath his seat every day).

The Prospect Hotel, inspired by vintage Hollywood, is a hidden gem in LA. For this, my first visit, I was assigned the Vivian Leigh room. Next time, Mae West, Bogart, Gardner? It’s anybody’s guess.
