After completing Part Two I really feel like there will be four parts or possibly five? lol I'm enjoying my pace actually. There are no time constraints and I can march on with Mary's life at my leisure. Hopefully my readers won't feel a Mary Astor overload and resent me for my ambitions. ha ha<br />PagePagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063277863578004836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288732393699331930.post-5809439418894407072013-05-14T05:30:16.888-07:002013-05-14T05:30:16.888-07:00Strong start, Page, enjoying it!

I wonder if being a movie star was really her dream.<br />Lillian Gish were very cool, she also greeted Garbo when she came from Sweden. I loved seeing mary in a silent film, so I'm kind of glad of all these efforts that made her a star still in silent era.<br />Kisses!Lêhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02419693749682458647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288732393699331930.post-15011300255868455732013-05-10T11:46:45.953-07:002013-05-10T11:46:45.953-07:00Page, I know you've had much to contend with l...Page, I know you've had much to contend with lately, so I'm sure I speak for both my wonderful co-hostess Ruth and myself all the more when I applaud your mighty blog series about our gal Mary Astor!

Great job on Part One, Page -- I can hardly wait for the entire trilogy! Thanks a million for working so hard on Mary's saga, and all the wonderful pictures (love that spotted horse!) and the wonderful pictures, too!
