Kay Francis - she could have not waited to be forgotten

It's somehow interesting, frustrating and heartbreaking at the same time to read a story like this from Kay Francis. The actress who was Warner's box-office no. 1 in early 30s ended her career most likely hating the way of life she chose. But on the other hand I doubt she would change this choice, either.

I'm definetely not going to tell you about her life. Read it yourself by clicking here. The cruelty she experienced from people she made existing (after all, Mr. Warner would not have his comfortable office without his profitable stars) is unquestionably disgusting, but after you read it, please tell me - did it surprise you?

I often say I prefer animals, essentially cats, to people. And here you will find an answer why.

I'm waiting for TCM to give us some piece of Miss Francis work. She made lots of it, unfortunately most of it a complete trash, though it would be lovely to stare at those beautiful blue eyes, with sadness written in them and with this aura of black short-cut hair. Would you believe she was petite? Indeed, she was! Warners did everything to save money so after the days of Kay were gone, and they had their new girls, including Canadian-born Alexis Smith, they gave them Francis' clothes, only making them fit better on taller Alexis.

And for the end - why is this entry entitled like this? Well, it's a quote from Kay. After you read the note I recommend you will know why...
