It's hard to fall so low - and even harder to stay on top. Makes you really admire folks like Joan Crawford and Bette Davis who managed to retain their star status for decades. Obviously, it aint easy!FlickChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351624749230610755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-51371509274441077382015-01-06T07:04:51.612-05:002015-01-06T07:04:51.612-05:00Thank you, Lady Eve.

The ones that are really sad, to me, are those who find fame early and then spiral downward. Such a shame.FlickChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351624749230610755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-64225606392875015642015-01-06T07:03:41.573-05:002015-01-06T07:03:41.573-05:00Hi Le - yes, I am going to be seeking out Olive, a...Hi Le - yes, I am going to be seeking out Olive, as well, this year.FlickChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351624749230610755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-71650905297652987292015-01-06T07:03:14.878-05:002015-01-06T07:03:14.878-05:00Hi CW - I now need to see some Olive films.

Olive's story reminds me of Betty Hutton's, but then there were so many tales of woe in Hollywood.Christian Esquevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04442827724576856379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-69964375701243404552015-01-05T15:13:03.190-05:002015-01-05T15:13:03.190-05:00Thanks for the introduction to Olive Borden.

How sad that things fell apart for her, and at such an early age. Too many of the screen stars of the silent era seem to have suffered shattering falls. And many of sound era, too. There is no shortage of "Tragic Stars" for your 2015 series. Looking forward to future installments.The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-44823665672711665072015-01-05T12:27:23.200-05:002015-01-05T12:27:23.200-05:00For sure her face is familiar, but I knew nothing ...For sure her face is familiar, but I knew nothing about her so-tragic story :(<br />Tragic Stars is a great theme for 2015! For sure I'll learn a lot in your blog this year.
