Happy Birthday Miriam!!!!!! Thanks for the memories.
Great find, Allan!
2 of my favorite actresses. Thanks to the recent revival of “Temple Drake”, knew the connection right away. Very similar careers, a relatively brief peak period (about a decade), followed by impressive performances in good films if no longer the major star.
