Lucky Bob, Supported by Beautiful Ladies

 In When Ladies Meet (1933) Alice Brady portrays the friend who owns a beautiful summer "cottage" in New Jersey, large enough for the entire group.  She is 42 years old in this rather nice photograph taken in 1935.   

Maureen O'Sullivan is 21 years old in this gorgeous photo taken by Ted Allan.  She co-starred with Johnny Weissmuller in Tarzan the Ape Man (1932), proving her body was as beautiful as her face.  Maureen teamed with Bob in Hide-Out (1934), my personal choice of Bob's most beautiful leading lady.  Such a great pairing.  There really should have been a Hide-Out, Part 2 made.  

Madge Evans starred with Bob in four movies between 1932 and 1936.  They were a handsome couple who simply jelled on screen.  I particularly enjoyed her performance as the ex-wife in Made on Broadway (1933).  

Myrna and Bob and Alice

 Alice Brady, who had appeared extensively in early silents and on Broadway, made her first talkie in 1933, When Ladies Meet.  According to Myrna Loy's autobiography, "Myrna Loy:  Being and Becoming", Myrna, Bob and Alice hung out together during the movie, and a great time was had by all.  Myrna said Bob really liked Alice.  I guess we get to imagine exactly what she meant by that!

Alice was born November 2, 1892 in New York City, which is were she died in 1939 of cancer.  She was only 46.  Much, much too young.
