You are making a wonderful work covering her bio!<br />I recently bought Mary Astor's novel, The image of Kate, and I'll start to read it soon.<br />Kisses!Lêhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02419693749682458647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288732393699331930.post-60864964210940734192013-05-26T14:34:31.523-07:002013-05-26T14:34:31.523-07:00CW,

My dad feels that way about Bette Davis! lol He just can't even watch one second of her on his TV. <br /><br />Honestly, I had no idea that my mother felt that strongly about Mary Astor. It was hilarious when she went on this 2 minute rant about her. Some actors just have that effect on us. I know it's shameful to admit it but I'm not fond of Lucille Ball or Charles Grodin, at all! Lucy gets on my nerves something awful.<br /><br />Thanks so much for taking the time to read Part Two. I promise to get Part Three up soon.<br />I hope that you and the family are having a wonderful Memorial weekend.<br />PagePagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063277863578004836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288732393699331930.post-16007349299494641482013-05-26T14:03:30.625-07:002013-05-26T14:03:30.625-07:00Was Mary's life ever anything but tumultuous?
...Was Mary's life ever anything but tumultuous?<br /><br />People have set ideas about certain actors/actresses. My husband feels the same way about Mary that your mom does.

I had no idea she had an affair with Barrymore. Don't know about the scandal you are referring to.

She deserves this royal treatment you're giving her! :)<br /><br />I had no idea the affair between Mary and John Barrymore was that intense or lasted that long. As overbearing and annoying as her parents were, I can't say that I blame them for keeping an eye on ol' Jack!Silver Screeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955048716754142299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288732393699331930.post-68239675731333578312013-05-19T08:49:14.621-07:002013-05-19T08:49:14.621-07:00Oh my, this is quite the incredible read. And the ...Oh my, this is quite the incredible read. And the photos are magnificent. I felt my heart tug reading about her relationship with John Barrymore. I know people must think him a scoundrel for cheating on his wife, but I can imagine how in love Mary must have been with him. And oh wow Gilbert Roland was such a sexy man. You've done such a wonderful job of covering the many shades of her life. Well done...<br /><br />Now, I have a question. I'm doing a William Castle Blogathon in July and was wondering if you'd be interested in participating in it. I'd love to have your wonderful presence on board.

In fact, having just read the second of Mary Astor's autobiographies, I have a feeling you might get 5 posts out of her!<br /><br />We can only hope!Cliff Alipertihttp://immortalephemera.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288732393699331930.post-73793275611380353312013-05-13T10:11:27.616-07:002013-05-13T10:11:27.616-07:00Page, Part Two of your Mary Astor bio was fascinat...Page, Part Two of your Mary Astor bio was fascinating and moving. Oh, how I longed to be able get ahold of a time machine to counsel young Mary so she could stand up to her overbearing parents! Too bad John Barrymore was losing his patience with young Mary, but perhaps it was for the best in the long run, considering what a roue he was, not to mention the age difference and Barrymore's encroaching alcoholism.<br /><br />What's with the hating between Mary and your mom? Did Mary steal her away from Cary Grant? :-) Little did your mom realize Mary's life was no bed of roses, but plenty of thorns. In any case, Page, BRAVA on a great series for the Mary Astor Blogathon, my friend!DorianTBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357778472575080022noreply@blogger.com
