The Silver Screen Oasis

A long forgotten Hollywood scandal was about the birthday boy Paul Kelly, Dorothy Mackaye and Ray Raymond case. I am still trying to figure out details about that one. It happened so long ago, but its as juicy today as it was in the late 20's. Handsome Paul was having an affair with Ray's wife Dorothy, and when the two men wound up in a fist fight, Ray died two days later, resulting in a scandal, prison, and gossip, gossip gossip.

Amazingly,Paul Kelly's career in Hollywood survived. He married Dorothy and they remained together.

That's a very lovely photo of Arlene Dahl, Joe!

Actor Fernando Lamas and birthday gal Arlene Dahl were married 1954-1960. They had one
son Lorenzo.

Arlene Dahl was still striking and superb in 1994 as I saw her in London during my great 200stars Night !

I loved Jean Parker, a discreet but talented actress,and the photo here is superb.

And I'd just like to acknowledge the birthday of my friend Lloyd Nolan, whom I recognized as Hollywood's Nicest Tough Guy.

Stone, did you ever find out if the talented actor Lloyd Nolan had a favorite role of all his films?
One of mine was "A Hatful of Rain", among others.
