In 1929 Anita received over 10,000 fan letters a week, second only to Greta Garbo. Over one hundred of these were from an ardent Italian admirer, who wrote obsessively about her every move and asked for her hand in marriage several times - Benito Mussolini!
She was paired up with Joan Crawford in three popular films: "Our Dancing Daughters (1928), Our Modern Maidens (1929) and Our Blushing Brides (1930). She also appeared opposite Buster Keaton in two of his lesser-known talkies: Free and Easy (1930) and Sidewalks of New York (1931).
Anita received the Women's International Center (WIC) Living Legacy Award in 1997. Yes, she is still with us as of this posting and even had a small role in 2004's Bob's Night Out.

In spades. She was gorgeous. One producer I read about said that when he met Grace Kelly, she immediately reminded him of Anita Page.
I am really enjoying your blog!
Glad you like it - visited your blog as well. Will be checking back often
i just moved into Anita Pages' mountain retreat called Stone Haven in Lake Huges, California.
This place is like a 1930s era castle. I just wish these walls could talk.
