Gloria Dickson (August 13, 1917 – April 10, 1945) was an American stage and screen actress of the 1930s and 1940s. Life and career Born in Pocatello, Idaho, Dickson began acting during high school in amateur theater productions. Encouraged by her acting coaches, she moonlighted doing dramatic readings at social clubs and on KFOX radio station in Long Beach, California. In April 1936, she was spotted by Warner Brothers talent scout Max Arnow who signed her to a Warner contract. Her auspicious film debut in 1937's They Won't Forget landed her on the top of Hollywood's short list of important up and comers, a distinction which allotted her enormous publicity. In the fall of 1937 she was in many magazine covers and was the subject of several major movie magazine articles with titles like, The Luckiest Girl in the World and New Star of the Year. Death Dickson died during a fire at her Los Angeles home, which began by an unextinguished cigarette that ignited an overstuffed chair on the main floor, while she slept upstairs. Her body, and that of her pet dog, were found in the bathroom, and it was assumed that she had attempted to escape through the bathroom window. She died from asphyxiation; flames had seared her lungs, and her body had suffered first and second degree burns. She is buried at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

Yolande Donlan (born June 2, 1920 in Jersey City, New Jersey) is an American actress who has worked extensively in the United Kingdom. She is the daughter of James Donlan, who was a hard working character actor in Hollywood films of the 1930s. It is thought that she had some uncredited roles in films including Pennies From Heaven and Love Finds Andy Hardy immediately following her father's death in 1938, but these have not been confirmed. Her early credited roles include Frenchy the maid in the horror film The Devil Bat in 1940 and she followed this up with several small roles, generally as similar French-accented maid characters. A notable stage success as Billie Dawn in a Boston production of Born Yesterday by Garson Kanin was the start of bigger things for Donlan. The production transferred to London's West End for a long run. Donlan was initially denied a work permit to star in the lead in Peter Pan due to complaints from Actors Equity who felt that a British star should have the lead. After it ended, Donlan remained in the United Kingdom and began accepting film work. After Traveller's Joy in 1949, Donlan worked for the director Val Guest in several films including Mister Drake's Duck, Penny Princess (in the title role) and The Body Said No. Donlan married Guest in 1954 and afterwards her film work included many of her husband's films such as Expresso Bongo and 80,000 Suspects, as well as a small number of films for other directors. In 1955 she penned the autobiographical travelogue, Sand in my Mink an amusing tale of adventures taken with her husband, across Europe, which makes a light hearted read of how travel used to be. A further stage success came in 1959 in Jack Popplewell's And Suddenly It's Spring opposite Margaret Lockwood. Her most recent film credit is Seven Nights in Japan from 1976. The same year saw publication of her autobiography, Shake the Stars Down, which concentrates on her childhood years growing up in the Hollywood of the 1930s. Guest retired from directing in 1985 and the couple moved back to the United States of America in the late 1980s, where they resided in Palm Springs until his death in 2006. Donlan now lives in Belgravia, London.- Peggy Diggins

(Margaret Mary Diggins) 12 October 1921 is born in New York City to Paul Farrell Diggins, a prominent Westchester County lawyer, and his wife, the former Ella M. Connors lives with her parents and her older brother, Paul F., in Mount Vernon, New York Late '30s attends convent school until age 16. She is much too imaginative, so the Diggins conclude their only daughter should go to city high school. She is always the tallest in her class. She graduates from Mount Vernon High School in New York, where she took every available course in public speaking. Her father decided she would follow his footsteps as a trial lawyer. Evenings when her lessons were done, she and her father discussed law. Her father explained all the intricacies in addressing a jury and coached her in the use of her voice. She will later say that legal training helps her plenty in handling dialog. at the Hotel Lincoln during a jitterbug contest, a woman taps her shoulder and asks if she wants to get into pictures. Aware of such high-handed methods, luring poor innocent girls to Hollywood, she replies, “I should say not.” The lady is later identified as the wife of a Paramount executive. Peggy swallows her pride and apologizes. The result is admission to the Paramount dramatic school. one afternoon at the Paramount dramatic school, a girl invites her to meet another gal at the International Casino. It’s her first time in a Broadway nightclub. She sits down and watches the afternoon rehearsal. A man walks over and asks if she would like a job in the show. She coldly replies, “No.” She later finds out he is none other than George Hale, producer and director of the show. She apologizes to him, and he offers her a showgirl job. After 15 minutes of talk, she walks away with a contract calling for a featured top spot and $300 a week. a month later she makes her Broadway debut. The show folds in three months. She registers in the American Academy dramatic school and models between classes for Walter Thornton. agent Leland Hayward sees her in an American Academy dramatic school play and signs her immediately. He wires Howard Hughes and tells him he has a new star for Hughes’ new picture. Hughes sends for her. She later says: “It turned out to be a nice plane ride at Mr. Hughes expense. He felt I was too tall for the part. He gave me a plane ticket with the suggestion that I return to New York and when he made a picture wherein he could use me, he’d let me know. My Irish was up again. I’d quit my job in New York and my school. I had less than $25. I didn’t want to wire dad for help. I got in touch with my agent and told him if I couldn’t stay as a star, I’d better start at the bottom and work up. Just as long as I got started! That week I was signed with Warner Brothers on a seven-year optional contract. I’ve played bits. In Tugboat Annie Sails Again, I screamed and dove under a table, not much for my first part, nor a climax for my dramatic school training. But I’m in pictures and learning. I wouldn’t turn down any part, and like everyone, I’m waiting for a break. I’ll be ready for it, I hope, when it comes, and with my Irish luck, it will.” November 1940 is courted by young John F.
