- The Site appreciates your votes and comments. Here are some of the little gems you
chose to share with us.
Steve
(USA) on Kay Francis
"Just a great honest actress! What about Jeanne Crain or singer Virginia
O'Brien?"
Lauren
(Italy) on Kay Francis
"She is very Gorgeous."
Doris
(USA) on Kay Francis
"Kay Francis had great acting ability; she was intelligent, generous and
was not a photo hound although her taste in clothing was remarkable. She not
only was a great movie actress, but also a producer and a stage actress. She
was before her time in so many ways which the press at the time did not give
her credit for." Renee
(USA) on Kay Francis
"How wonderful to have Ms. Francis added to the legion of Divas! What a
classy intelligent, fashionable and compelling actress she was! Thank
you for reminding the world what a treat she was!" Barbara
(USA) on Kay Francis
"How wonderful if she should become a diva on your site as she really was
one when you read about her. At one point in time, 1937, she was the
highest paid movie star in the world, Warner's then got Bette Davis to take
her place when Francis was difficult and they wanted to get rid of her, so
they put Kay in all kinds of horrible pictures without top billing but she
would not let them fire her so she took on every movie they gave her.
Her story is a sad one and I guess I was fascinated by her because she
looks so very much (to me) like my mother. And interesting enough
Francis died of the same disease that killed my mother (breast cancer), only
my mother was 45 and Francis was 67, both though much too young. In fact
I just read this morning that Sheryl Crow has it and she is only 44."
