Focus on Kay Francis

Kay FrancisKay Francis was the highest paid actress in Hollywood in 1937-38. By then, Kay had roosted as Queen of Warners for five years. In 1937, Kay and Errol Flynn were the only two Warner stars who figured into the survey of Hollywood’s top box-office attractions. Later that year, Kay took Warners to court when they reneged on a promise to give her the lead in Tovarich. To have their highest paid star Kay Francis protest was just too much for Jack and Harry Warner. The brothers fought back with a vengeance. The Hollywood Community watched in shock as Kay’s career took a sudden nose-dive and she became labeled box-office poison.

Diva Trivia

By age eleven, Cher was practising her autograph. By the time she was twelve, she had it down (basically the same as she signs it now).  She did it over and over again, because she was sure that one day she would need it.
