Easter fun with Alice White, 1904-1983

Born 25 August 1904 in Paterson, NJ, (née Alva White), Alice White illuminated the screen as a leading lady for Warner Bros. in the early 1930s. Alas, a scandal in 1933 - wherein Miss White and her screenwriter fiancé, Sy Bartlett, stood accused of orchestrating an assault on her former lover, Irish-born actor John Warburton - tarnished her reputation. Although never formally charged, the media frenzy inflicted irreparable damage on Miss White’s career. Nonetheless, she secured supporting roles until the late 1940s. Subsequently, she dwelt in obscurity for the remaining decades of her life and rests at the Valhalla Memorial Park Cemetery in Hollywood.

English actress Heather Angel, born on 9 February, 1909, in Headington, Oxford, is captured here celebrating the Easter holiday with festive flair. While she appeared in numerous productions over the years, she is most vividly remembered as Helen Pettigrew in the 1933 time-traveling film 'Berkeley Square', where she starred alongside Leslie Howard.

Easter fun with Mary Carlisle, 1914-2018

Mary Carlisle

Mary Carlisle, believed to have been born on 3 February, 1914, in Boston, MA. The last surviving of the ‘WAMPAS Baby Stars’ of 1932, this beautiful actress and pin-up model extends Easter greetings to one and all. While I prefer attributed photos, regrettably, this is one of those maddening circumstances where I cannot locate the credit; it is likely an MGM or Universal publicity shot. This lady starred in over sixty films before retiring from Hollywood at age 28, later managing a Beverly Hills beauty salon.
