  1. According to Eddie Robinson’s autobiography Miriam taunted him so much over political differences that they had on the set of 1935’s Barbary Coast even in front of the cameras that he finally cracked and thumped her heavily in the mouth whereupon he fled the set back to his dressing room.in both anger and embarrassment. Whatever the squabble was about romantic leading man Joel McCrea took Miriam’s side and they both apparently ostracized Eddie.

    When her heyday ended in 1943 in Old Acquaintance co-starring Bette Davis Miriam did not [as Bruce’s tables above faithfully record]make all that many more films over the next almost 30 years remaining in her career; so the only film that I have ever seen her in is 1966’s The Chase starring the Brando siblings Marlon and Jocelyn/Redford/Jane Fonda/Angie Dickinson and Bobby Duvall.

    It was as Bruce correctly notes Miriam’s penultimate movie and in fact her final big budget one and in it at the age of 64 she was Redford’s mother [the screen’s top mother figure in those years Myrna Loy possibly being unavailable].

    Miriam did though in that post-1943 period do a lot of television work and appeared in as many as 16 series in one to five episodes of each. As she was a big part of the early decades of movie making starting with a short film at the tail end of the silent era she deserves this new page which is “Voted UP!”

    1. Hey bob cox. Thanks for the feedback and the movie ratings. Tally count: Flora 16, bob cox 7 and me 5. I have not seen The Children’s Hour…but glad she returned for that remake. The Heiress is a great drama with a stellar performance from Olivia de Havilland. Good to hear from you and good stuff.

    1. Hey Dan…as always….thanks for the great lists of trivia and connections. As for Fanny Hill…I imagine the money was too good to pass up….I have not only not seen it….but…had not even heard of that one. Not surprised she is not on the Oracle list…but I am surprised on how many of those actors are still with us…Duvall, Redford, Fonda and Maclaine. 28 Oscar winning co-stars is pretty impressive since her career was not too long. Good stuff as always.

    1. Hey Flora…as always….thanks for sharing your thoughts on our latest page. I have only seen 5 of her movies. Tally count: Flora 16, bob cox 7 and me 5. I have seen 4 of your favorites…with Trouble in Paradise being my favorite….though I did not really like her character at all. I have seen none of your “others”. As for Becky Sharp…that was yet another issue with the new database, new website connection and new computer…..but it is now almost in the right spot….one more update and this table should be good to go. Good stuff as always.
