Hi Eve, I've obviously been labouring under misconceptions about Jean Harlow. I thought that she was denied medical treatment by her mother. How has this rumour been allowed to develop over time, do you know who started it? Did she actually get medical attention and if she had lived today would she...

Just a comment - I was wondering why you chose a photo of Lilyan Tashman for the cover of Golden Images, then I saw your picture on the inside jacket of the Castle book - Goodness! slap a platinum wig on you and you are the spitting image of LT! Thanks --but more like Constance Collier, I'm afraid ...

1)I gather the silent and early talkie period is of most interest to you? Or is it just that there is less coverage and more opportunity to write about these lesser known actors? Any particular backstory of an actor that you might have been taken aback to learn? I'm most surpised, so far to find ou...

Eve, Thank you for your earlier reply. I'm sorry that I haven't had an opportunity to read Vernon and Irene Castle's Ragtime Revolution . I understand that their life and work as well as their dance was innovative. Could you please outline some of the things they did that were unusual for their tim...

Once and for all can you explain, in layman's terms, what caused the death of blonde bombshell Jean Harlow? And did the romeo Morino Bello and Jean's mother live happily ever after? Jean died from kidney failure, over a period of about six months (looking back, the symptoms are obvious). There were...

Kay towered over Gene in their solo number but the thing that struck me the most and Eve might know the answer to is how small Kay's waist was. Was she famous for this? Even allowing for fifties underwear her shape was very hourglass. Eve, in relation to Jean Harlow who I love on the screen but hav...

In reading several of your entertaining books, I'm struck by some recurrent themes, particularly by the way that the theatre and movies offered young women an opportunity to express themselves. I thought that this element was especially evident in the the books Anna Held and the Birth of Ziegfeld's...

Boy... I really miss the GOOD supermarket tabloids. The ones with front pages NOT about divorces and who's with who or why not. I want to read MORE about Elvis' Two-Headed Alien Baby returning to Earth. THAT, to me, is the real news out of Hollywood! Viva la difference I was so upset when the Weekl...

I am such a fickle, mood-based reader. I'll wade into a subject, tippy-toes first, and suddenly find I'm swimming deeper or farther than anticipated, and loving every minute . . . .Thank you for those episodes where you've taken the time to relate different sides of the same coin, and for giving us...

Eve regarding Arbuckle you are a breath of fresh air. I read a book recently about Arbuckle, he certainly wasn't guilty of the more lurid accusations. There was talk of a botched abortion. However Virginia's reputation came out in tatters. I've also been watching the Hollywood tv series which is br...

I reread Silent Images about Anita Page. She sounds such a lovely person. Full of memories. I like the bit when she said that she wasn't married to her first husband because they didn't have a Catholic service. Have I understood that correctly? It made me smile :) What she said about Mayer was spoo...
