Fay Wray    Canada, USA    1907-2004

 

actress who appeared

in about 100 movies

but whose fame

is inextricably linked

with the hours

she spent struggling

helplessly and screaming

in the eight-foot-hand

William Horatio Powell    USA    1892-1984

 

actor who personified

the suave and sophisticate

 leading man in the 1930's

and 40's

 

(...)


The actor's wry,

winning cynicism

brightened such classics

as the comedy-murder mystery

''Thin Man'' series,

the farce ''My Man Godfrey,''

the musical spectacle

''The Great Ziegfeld''

and the period comedy

''Life With Father.''

 

Mr. Powell's ideal foil

was the chic and peppery

Myrna Loy.

 

They co- starred 13 times,

including six ''Thin Man'' movies

in which he,

as a retired sleuth, Nick Charles,

and she,

as his tag-along socialite wife, Nora,

matched martinis and mirth,

sharing amiable brickbats

and trapping wrongdoers

in the urbane movies from stories

by Dashiell Hammett.

Mae West Vamped and Winked.

She Also Blazed a Trail We’re Still Following.

New editions of her early films

reveal a screenwriter with a deep interest in lives on the margins.

That was just one reason the censors couldn’t abide her.

Richard Arlen    USA    1899-1976

 

born Sylvanus Richard Mattimore

 

silent screen actor

who made the transition to “talkies”

and starred in “Wings” in 1927,

the first motion picture

to win an Academy Award

 

(...)



Five years after he had joined

Paramount Pictures,

the 26-year-old Richard Arlen

won the coveted role

of a young World War I aviator,

which he had himself been,

in “Wings,”

co-starring Clara Bow,

Buddy Rogers

and another young star,

Gary Cooper.

 

While he was to make

about 250 movies,

the 1927 film, regarded as

the last of the silent spectaculars

about World War I, remained

a high point of his career.

Miss Brent successfully

made the transition

from the silent screen

to the talkies in 1929.

A petite, brown-haired woman

with dark brown eyes,

she appeared opposite

such oldtime stars

as George Bancroft,

Clive Brook, Bert Lytell,

Emil Jannings, Thomas Meighan

and Adolphe Menjou.

 

Among her more memorable pictures

were “Pagan Lady” with Conrad Nagel,

the Alaskan epic “The Silver Horde”

and “Broadway.”

 

Her later films included

“Dangerous Lady.”

“Mystery of the Golden Eye,”

“The Mad Empress”

and “Again, Pioneers!”

 

In 1950 she appeared

in a “Wagon Train” episode

German actor best remembered

for his roles in films

such as

Different from the Others

(1919),

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

(1920),

and The Man who Laughs

(1928).

 

After a successful career

in German silent films,

of the best-paid stars of UFA,

he and his new Jewish wife

Ilona Prager

were forced to leave Germany

in 1933

after the Nazis came to power.

 

The couple settled in Britain,

where he took British citizenship

in 1939.

 

He appeared in many British films,

including The Thief of Bagdad

(1940),

before emigrating

to the United States around 1941,

which led to him being cast

as Major Strasser in Casablanca

(1942).

Marx Brothers    USA

 

The Marx Brothers

were an American family comedy act

that was successful in vaudeville, on Broadway,

and in 14 motion pictures from 1905 to 1949.

 

Five of the Marx Brothers'

fourteen feature films were selected

by the American Film Institute (AFI)

as among the top 100 comedy films,

with two of them, Duck Soup (1933)

and A Night at the Opera (1935),

in the top fifteen.

 

They are widely considered

by critics, scholars and fans to be

among the greatest and most influential

comedians of the 20th century.
