Ann Sothern strikes a culinary pose in Motion Picture, May 1946

Ann Sothern with an atypical look in “Folies Bergère de Paris” (1935) — next up in my quest to see as many of Ann’s early films as I can find.

She co-starred with Merle Oberon in this Maurice Chevalier vehicle. It’s a Twentieth Century production, just prior to the merger with Fox.

Ann Sothern and Neil Hamilton in “Blind Date” (1934) — Sothern’s 5th film in a lead or top supporting role. Unlike her 3rd and 4th, this one is available!

It’s also a pretty good romantic drama. Ann gives a good dramatic performance, and Paul Kelly plays a role unlike any I’ve seen him in before.

A couple nights ago, we re-visited “A Letter to Three Wives” (1949) and I enjoyed it more than I did 5 yrs ago.

To re-iterate something I wrote back then about Ann Sothern’s performance: “She does not have the showiest role of the ensemble cast, but it is the most critical one. And she is perfection in it.”

Ann Sothern in Screenland, July 1953. From an article titled “The Amazing Story of Ann!”

“After three long years of illness, when medical science had done all it could for Ann Sothern, came a day when her fate lay solely in her own hands”
