Asides - The A's Have It

After watching The Old Dark House the other day, I realized that after seeing Gloria Stuart I had forgotten to make mention of her 98th birthday this past July 4th. Then I also blew it by not mentioning Lupita Tovar's 97th birthday on July 27th. And, to top it off, I missed Anita Page's 98th birthday this past August 4th.

So, without further ado, to those three remarkable actresses and ladies, all whose first names end with A, a very happy belated birthday!

Gloria Stuart - Happy Birthday!

Lupita Tovar - Happy Birthday!

Anita Page - Happy Birthday!
And Anita, good luck with your newest film, now in post production.

Gloria Stuart

Gloria Stuart

Celebrating her 96th birthday just a few days ago on July 4, Gloria is today best known for her role as old Rose in Titantic. In 73 films from 1932 to 2004, Gloria got her start in theater and then was signed with Universal. Personally, I remember her best in two James Whale films, The Old Dark House (1932) and The Invisible Man (1933), that film starring Claude Rains. In the mid-'40s she retired from acting, took up painting and had one-woman shows in New York, Austria and Italy. In the 1970s, she returned to acting. But as mentioned above, she will now be remembered as the oldest actress to be nominated for an Oscar for her Titanic role.

Gloria Stuart - What do you think? Allure?
