Paulette Goddard in Movie Mirror, Dec. 1935

“From a bit player in Eddie Cantor's ‘The Kid from Spain’ to leading woman for Charlie Chaplin's new ‘Modern Times’—that's the cinema history of Paulette, Hollywood's mystery lady, since she arrived in an Hispano-Suiza from out of nowhere.”

Goddard in costume for Modern Times, ragged simple dark ‘dress,’ sitting on a barrel with a mischievous look on her face.

Ann Sothern with a super-cute white floof dog. I don't have any more information than that, but how much more do we need, really.

Sothern has on a chic little black hat and a fur jacket. She is holding the small(ish) dog. The dog has floppy floof ears, a big black nose, and fur almost covering its eyes.

Ida Lupino songwriting in 1943, while husband Louis Hayward was with the Marines.

Photo published i Screenland, Feb. 1943. Lupino seated at upright piano, hair up, hands on keyboard, pencil in her teeth, sheets of music in front of her. Photo of her recently deceased father Stanley is on top of the piano.

As the people who insist otherwise try to burn the country, it's important to affirm that immigrants, from everywhere, are awesome, and America is better the more immigrants we have. You have to be just empty and vapid and unimaginably small to reject that.

Charles Laughton in “Rembrandt” (1936) — an excellent film covering part of the life of the famous painter.

Laughton with long mustache and curly hair, holds painting implements while standing in front of an easel in a large room. A man in 17th century Dutch attire stands in the background.

“The Lupino Legend” in Cosmopolitan magazine — first of a two-part article on Ida Lupino published in January and February 1943.

“She can break your heart or make you laugh. She's five feet two of dynamite and she has Hollywood on its ear.”

2 page magazine layout. Left has large photo of Lupino in long-skirted dress kicking leg high in the air in a dance pose. Right page has article text and three small photos of Lupino with pets, husband and family.

The article begins with title in large text and its lede in medium size font:

The Lupino Legend

By Adela Rogers St. John

She can break your heart or make you laugh. She's five feet two of dynamite and she has Hollywood on its ear. Here begins the fascinating life story of the "Mad Lupino" born to the theater, daughter of a famous clown, and destined, some say, to be the greatest actress of our time

Ida Lupino, late 1939

“MONARCH OF ALL SHE SURVEYS: Ida Lupino's new Brentwood home sits high on a hilltop, and Ida has a beautiful view right down Rustic Canyon to the ocean. Finished with her role in Paramount's ‘The Light That Failed,’ Miss Lupino is busy decorating the new domicile.”

Lupino, in a fashionable outfit, leans on a short wooden gate bridging a thick stone fence. Trees, sky and side of a house are behind her.
