✨Beauty Hint from actress Madge Evans (1909-1981), 1932✨

“The arms should be included in any beauty treatment, and if one has not a beauty specialist handy one can easily give one’s own hands the proper kind of weekly massage.
First comes a thorough cleansing of the hands and arms with warm water, soap and a hand brush. When hands and arms are dry, massage them with olive oil in which lemon juice has been mixed, using the same motion as in putting on gloves.
The oil mixture is forced into the pores with hot towels. This is followed by another soapy water bath, after which corn meal is rubbed on.”

✨In the 1930s, these “beauty hints” from starlets ran in newspapers across the country. Sometimes the advice seems almost humorous in retrospect, while other times it is still applicable. While I highly doubt those credited actually gave the advice printed, this regular feature was still a fun way to connect with audiences and promote up and coming performers✨.

Remembering actress Janet Gaynor (1906-1984), who passed away 41 years ago today 💫.

A Philadelphia native, Gaynor participated in school plays as a child. Continuing to act in community theater in her teens, she and her family relocated to California where she quickly found work as a movie extra. Eventually making her way into more important film parts, she first received screen credit in “The Jonestown Flood” (1926). Named a WAMPAS Baby Star of 1926, she went on to appear in films like “Daddy Long Legs” (1931), “Change of Heart” (1934), “The Farmer Takes a Wife” (1935), “Small Town Girl” (1936), and “The Young in Heart” (1938). She has the distinction of being the recipient of the very first Best Actress Academy Award, winning for her performances in “7th Heaven” (1927), “Sunrise” (1927), and “Street Angel”’(1928) (for that first year, awards were given for a group of performances rather than just one). She was later nominated for her brilliant, and likely best remembered, performance in “A Star is Born” (1937), though she lost to Luise Rainer (1910-2014) in “The Good Earth” (1937).

Gaynor was married three times. Following a first marriage that ended in divorce, she wed famed costume designer Adrian (1903-1959). The couple had one son and remained together until Adrian’s death from a heart attack in 1959. Gaynor then married producer Paul Gregory (1920-2015) in 1964, a union that lasted until her death. There is long-standing speculation that Gaynor also had romantic relationships with actresses Margaret Lindsay (1910-1981) and Mary Martin (1913-1990).

In 1982, Gaynor, along with Gregory, Mary Martin, and Martin’s manager Ben Washer (circa 1906-1982), were involved in a terrible car accident caused by a drunk driver. Washer was killed, while the others suffered severe injuries. It was from the lingering effects of that terrible crash that Gaynor died 2 years later at the age of 77.

Happy Heavenly Birthday to actress Claudette Colbert (1903-1996)✨.

A native of France, Colbert and her family came to the United States when she was just a toddler. Although she made her stage debut while in high school, she initially had her sights set on becoming an artist or fashion designer. But, while studying art in New York City, she was approached to appear in a play and her career course soon changed. Making her Broadway debut in 1923, she was performing on the London stage when Hollywood came calling. Her first screen appearance came in “For the Love of Mike” (1927), a film now believed to be lost. Colbert would go on to become a top Hollywood actress, with credits including “Manslaughter” (1930), “The Sign of the Cross” (1932), “Cleopatra” (1934), “Imitation of Life” (1934), “The Palm Beach Story” (1942), “So Proudly We Hail!” (1943), “Tomorrow is Forever” (1946), “The Egg and I” (1947), and “Parrish” (1961). Nominated for Academy Awards for her work in “Private Worlds” (1935) and “Since You Went Away” (1944), she won for the classic “It Happened One Night” (1934). As her film career slowed in the 1950s, she made appearances on television and even returned to Broadway in the 1960s. After a 26 year absence from film and television, she made one last television movie, “The Two Mrs. Grenvilles” in 1987, for which she was nominated for an Emmy Award.

Colbert was married twice. Her first marriage, to actor/director Norman Foster (1903-1976), was unconventional — the couple reportedly never shared a residence. It ultimately ended in divorce in 1935 after seven years of marriage. That same year, Colbert wed Dr. Joel Pressman (1901-1968), a union that lasted until Pressman’s 1968 death. Colbert had no children.

In her later years, she divided her time between New York and Barbados. It was at her island home that Claudette Colbert passed away following a stroke in 1996 at the age of 92.

✨Beauty Hint from actress Miriam Hopkins (1902-1972), 1933✨

“Water is the danger signal where hair is concerned. One should keep the hair always away from water except when you shampoo it. Always wear a cap when bathing, and even when washing your face be careful that the hair is well tucked back.”

✨In the 1930s, these “beauty hints” from starlets ran in newspapers across the country. Sometimes the advice seems almost humorous in retrospect, while other times it is still applicable.

I’m so sorry to learn of the passing of Emmy nominated actress Polly Holliday (1937-2025) 💫. “Alice” was a childhood favorite (and I also fondly remember her playing Rose’s sister who was struggling with losing her sight on an episode of “The Golden Girls”). She was a great talent and my prayers are with all those who knew and loved her.

Remembering actress Jane Wyman (1917-2007), who passed away 18 years ago today 💫.

Born in Missouri, Wyman endured a turbulent childhood. Her parents divorced when she was a toddler and her father died shortly thereafter. She was primarily raised by older foster parents. Seeking an escape from her unhappy life, at just 13 she lied about her age (adding 3 years to make her birth year 1914, a year that still occasionally shows up in her online bios) and started working as a radio singer. At 15, she left her Missouri home for Hollywood, determined to become a star. Making her uncredited film debut in 1932 (she was only 15, but thanks to her phony birth year the studios believed her to be 18), she worked steadily in the 1930s, but found her biggest successes the following decade and beyond. Her noted film credits include “The Lost Weekend” (1945), “The Yearling” (1946), “Cheyenne” (1947), “The Blue Veil” (1951), “Magnificent Obsession” (1954), “All That Heaven Allows” (1955), “Miracle in the Rain” (1956) (make sure you have an entire box of Kleenex ready if you watch that one 😭), and “Pollyanna” (1960). Nominated four times for Academy Awards, she won for “Johnny Belinda” (1948). She also had a long career on television, hosting “Jane Wyman Presents the Fireside Theater” and guest starring on programs like “Wagon Train”, “My Three Sons”, and “Love Boat” before starring in the 1980s soap opera “Falcon Crest”.

Wyman was married and divorced five times to four different men. She and third husband, future U.S. president Ronald Reagan (1911-2004), had three children, though sadly daughter Christine (1947-1947) died shortly after birth. Their oldest daughter, Maureen (1941-2001), also predeceased her parents following a battle with melanoma.

Jane Wyman died in her sleep in 2007 at the age of 90.

Remembering actress Olive Thomas (1894-1920) on the 105th anniversary of her passing 💫.

Born in Pennsylvania, her father died when she was still a child in 1906. Just a few years later, she dropped out of school in order to help support her family. Before the age of 20, Thomas moved to New York in pursuit of greener pastures. After being named “The Most Beautiful Girl in New York City” in an artist’s contest, she worked as a model for a time before turning her attention to acting. Joining the Ziegfeld Follies in 1915, her first screen appearance came the following year. She made over 20 silent films in her short career, including titles such as “Madcap Madge” (1917), “Limousine Life” (1918), “Heiress for a Day” (1918), “The Follies Girl” (1919), “The Flapper” (1920), and the posthumously released “Everybody’s Sweetheart” (1920).

After a brief teenaged marriage ended in divorce, she wed actor Jack Pickford (1896-1933), the brother of superstar Mary Pickford (1892-1979). The union was tumultuous at times and, after four years of marriage, the couple planned a romantic getaway to Paris in order to reconnect. Following a night of partying on the town, they returned to their hotel room. For reasons that remain a mystery even over a century later, Thomas ingested mercury bichloride. Rumors swirled about the circumstances of the terrible event — was she poisoned? Intentional su*c*de? A hasty mistake? — but it was most likely a terrible accident. The medicine, which was labeled in French, was reportedly on hand to treat her husband’s venereal disease and, intoxicated, she likely mistook it for a sedative (or something else) and tossed it back before realizing it was a horrible mistake. Sadly, she lived for five agonizing days before dying from kidney failure as a result of the poisoning. She was just 25 years old.
