It was one of those "Are you making a comeback?" "I never went away." moments. Apparently she drank heavily at one time. Very sad, because she was lovely and always seemed so joyful.Cap'n Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11783977137812876489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-62647039567397952662009-06-29T05:39:46.852-05:002009-06-29T05:39:46.852-05:00Wow.

Gale Storm was appearing at (I think--been a long time) a dinner theater. I arranged for an interview but for some reason it got postponed and then never happened. I liked her but I was equally curious to find out what it was like to work on Edgar G. Ulmer's Club Havana. She was one of the stars. Had to be in her early twenties. Given the four day shooting schedule and the sub-minimal budget you wouldn't think Ulmer would even attempt a relatively complicated musical number with Storm and dancers but he did. He also shot the last several minutes of it in a parking lot (I think) at night. Maybe it was day for night. But whichever it wasn't the kind of shot most Monogram directors would ever have tried--let alone pulled off. She was a cutie, all right.Ed Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06126267358266480356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-40686227151957152692009-06-28T18:18:46.356-05:002009-06-28T18:18:46.356-05:00I think she may have been my first crush.

I don't remember a run like this since July of 1973 (when I first began noticing these clusters): Otto Klemperer, Veronica Lake, Lon Chaney, Jr., Robert Ryan, Jack Hawkins, and Bruce Lee - in the space of two weeks.Toby O'Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06999037844031101965noreply@blogger.com
