Yes, Mr. Milland's birthday is the 3rd of January. I hope he would understand my not working on the blog on a weekend. He seemed a basically good guy, the forgiving type.
This photo was taken by Wide World Photos for their morgue file for Ray. All the news services would try to have their own photos of news makers, kept without doing any touch up work. Ray is still a handsome lad at 41, even with the blemishes and a few wrinkles under the eyes.
I'm glad Ray was taken up by Paramount in 1934. MGM didn't know what to do with him, used in bit parts and crowd scenes. In 1932 Ray is cast as "Mr. Stewart - Party Goer (uncredited)" in But the Flesh is Weak. In Strangers May Kiss (1931), Ray was "3rd Admirer (uncredited). Ray would do much better at Paramount, for sure.
