Clark, Leslie & Elizabeth (Jr.): One Odd Trio

 Bob talking rather emphatically about ... oh, maybe the war, or working on a John Ford set, or returning to the hassle of life at the studio, or ... 

Robert Montgomery visits Clark Gable in his dressing room.  Bob is wrapping up studio shots for his first film since returning from the war, They Were Expendable (1945), and Clark is at work on his first movie, Adventure (1945).  

Bob looks adoringly at daughter Elizabeth.  One of their more peaceful moments, I gather.  

Robert and Another Elizabeth!

Every star enjoys seeing themselves on the cover of a magazine.  This is the July 27th, 1934, edition of "Film Weekly" which features Bob and Elizabeth Allan in a scene from The Myster of Mr. X (1934).  

And then to look inside and find a positive review of both you and the movie ... life is good.

Finishing that off with a nicely done full-page ad for the movie ... it's all very good.  

Peace and Tranquility ...Yes, I Could Use Some

It's not even Thanksgiving and yet, I am already behind on Christmas plans.  I'm still recovering from my computer calamity ... at least, my Bob photographs have been saved!  Now, if I could just remember what day of the week it is ... I posted Tuesday's entry on Monday, and just now remembered I forgot completely about Thursday's!!  Aaarrggh!  I think I need a vacation.  How about you guys enjoy your Thanksgiving, and the blog will come back alive the first Tuesday after.  That's the 28th.  I do hope I remember.  

Now for an imaginary walk through woods resplendent in fall colors to find some peace and tranquility.  

What's Going On at Robert Montgomery Presents?

Barbara Bel Geddes and Peter Cookson join Bob for RMP's presentation of Rebecca, to be shown May 22, 1950. 

"Robert Montgomery confers with John O'Hara, author of "Appointment in Samara," the drama to be telecast on Robert Montgomery presents, Monday, November 24 (1952) over WNBQ-NBC."

"Constance Bennett will star in "Onions in the Stew", Betty MacDonald's best-selling novel, which will be the opening show of the new season for Robert Montgomery Presents to be aired Monday, September 17 (1956) on NBC-TV.  The noted film actress, currently appearing in plush supper clubs around the country, will also sing in the teleplay."  

Honoring All Who Served

 

Just Three Innocent Lambs ***

 The 1930s version of three stars out on the town:

                            Bob, Rudy Vallee and George Raft

And now the wire service photo capturing how they really were enjoying themselves:

*** This posting is a repeat of the November 1, 2013 post.  Have a rather horrific problem in the household:  We bought new computers and have this problem of getting data from our old computers to our new one.  Right now, I'm without all my photos since Jan., 2021, and ALL of my documents re Mr. Montgomery.  Theoretically everything is still on the old computers, we (my husband!) just need to figure out how to handle this.  Meanwhile, I'm resorting to re-using favorite posts.  Hopefully, they'll still be of interest.    

She Didn't Even Outlive Bob

 Dixie Wanda Hendrix was born November 3rd, 1928, in Jacksonville, FL.  Discovered by a Warner Bros. talent scout, she came to Hollywood at the age of 16.  By 19, she co-stars with Bob in Ride the Pink Horse (1947).  Two years later she makes the first big mistake in her life when she marries alcoholic and war-damaged Audi Murphy.  She left the very violent and philandering Murphy after seven months, to find her career damaged because of the bad press.  (Geesch!)  

Ms. Hendrix had three husbands, no children, and died at the much too young age of 52 of double pneumonia.  (And for the record, she had a 17-inch waist, the smallest in Hollywood!!  If you can believe a publicist...) 

She grew up to be a  rather nice-looking lady.
