Did the School Kids Call her 3-Eyes?

 Having seen the movie But the Flesh is Weak (1932) with co-starring British actress Heather Thatcher, I thought she was wearing a monocle to help establish her as the eccentric Lady Joan.  I was wrong.

              Bob and Heather Thatcher in But the Flesh is Weak

I ran across this portrait of Ms. Thatcher with the attached info.:  

"Heather Thatcher, who came from the London stage to appear in the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture, "But the Flesh is Weak" with Robert Montgomery, is the only actress in Hollywood who wears a monocle off screen as well as on.  She explains it by saying her right eye is slightly weaker than her left one."  ............Whatever.

I Have Asked This Before: Where's Betty??

It is May, 1932.  Bob and his friends are leaving the Cocoanut Grove in L.A.  Yes, that is Ms. Crawford holding onto Bob with one arm, and her husband Doug Fairbanks, Jr., the other.  On the far right is Heather Thatcher, Bob's co-star in But the Flesh is Weak, which was filmed in February of that year. 


And for a better look at our handsome man-on-the-town ...


Wonder if it was really that cold in L.A. in May or if Bob and Doug are having a fashion competition?  Note, they are both wearing berets ... too much!
