Marion Davies Darn Good Actress
I really discovered Marion Davies watching the film Show People. Not the woman who was known as the mistress of W.R. Hearst or the fictious and ruinous Susan Alexander of Citizen Kane infamy. Marion was wonderful very much like Carole Lombard. She was real and nice to everyone. Bill Haines also, bless him ,was extremely talented and handsome. I'm told he was actually open about his sexual preference and when he was given an ultimatium to change or give up his career he gave up his career. He bacame a multi-million dollar decorator and designer instead. Just as he did for the starlet in Show People he helped Joan Crawford get started and remained friends with her until his death. I hope before she died Marion found some peace and knew that there where fans who still loved her.
