I did not know anything about her.<br /><br />She gained fame for starring in the original One Million B.C. movie. Here is a link to what the cavewoman of 1940's Hollywood was wearing:<br />http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fC8RxuRJEgc/UBggkPrI5RI/AAAAAAAACVo/dI4e43rvRRo/s1600/landis2.jpg<br /><br />What was sad and dramatic was her death at 29 in 1948. Officially she committed suicide as she was despondent over her lover, Rex Harrison, refusing to leave his wife. Her family continues believes she was murdered and blame Harrison.<br />Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-83539566440734410432016-08-08T05:07:40.475+01:002016-08-08T05:07:40.475+01:00Nice pair of pins, but I don't think the book ...Nice pair of pins, but I don't think the book is one for me.col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-84452849943609608352016-08-07T18:44:13.963+01:002016-08-07T18:44:13.963+01:00Exactly, that page-turning quality...Exactly, that page-turning quality...Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-22954428245487789572016-08-07T17:29:08.306+01:002016-08-07T17:29:08.306+01:00Yes, some eye-popping stuff, I agree - but in spit...Yes, some eye-popping stuff, I agree - but in spite of that, it did fulfil the main criteria of a book like this - I really really wanted to know how it had all happened.
