Mary and Gary at The Derby
This February 1933 vintage shot shows Hollywood legends Gary Cooper and Mary Pickford out on the town one evening. From the vintage publicity blurb:
Mary and Gary
Mary Pickford and Gary Cooper arriving at the Beverly Hills Brown Derby, one of the smartest restaurants in the film capital. The close friendship of these two is traditional in Hollywood, Gary escorting Mary about when Douglas Fairbanks is off on one of his many trips. 2/6/33
Many trips? Without Mary? Sounds like code to me.
Just in case you want to see the headlines of 1933:
Fights Nurses? Kills Doctor? Sounds just as sensational as today’s “news.” See…things really haven’t changed that much.
See more Classic Movie Star photos at my main website.
Hmmm...Many trips eh? It probably wasn't for film shoots. According to one prominent movie website, the 'DF' made "Reaching for the Moon" in 1930, "Mr. Robinson Crusoe" in 1932 and "The Private Life of Don Juan" in 1934. So, did ol' 'DF' start studying for that last role a year early?
ReplyDelete"Fights Nurses, Kills Doctor" would b a great title for a pulp novel.
ReplyDeleteDarryl - This could explain the divorce a few years later!
ReplyDeleteMelissa - I await your novel, as I think you should write it!
I would buy a copy of "Fights Nurses, Kills Doctor."
