http://bearmanormedia.bizland.com/id512.htmlAccording to the author, Gary Olszewski, the book "should be on the market next
month or so after the holidays! Copy this page and spread the word far and wide
(especially the FC gathering), it'll soon be adverted on Amazon and other
sites!"
"Marjorie White" details the life story of an actress of the '20s and '30s, a
top starlet of her day, but virtually forgotten today. She was among the most
talented of young comediennes of her era, and had she not died tragically at
such a young age, on the very verge of top stardom, would have been among the
names most highly remembered these years later, as the equal of such
silver-screen luminaries as Jean Harlow, Betty Hutton, Martha Raye, and the
others who achieved threir own fame in that "Golden Age" of stage and cinema.
Born in the provinces of Canada, she was an outgoing performer from her earliest
childhood, Worked the WWI years with the Winnipeg Kiddies performing troupe, and
went on to accclaim on the Vaudeville stage, and made her screen debut in the
light musicals of the late 1920s. With but 15 films to her credit, her inborn
Joie De Vie and outgoing elan, she easily stole the show and overshadowed even
the biggest names to whom she played "second fiddle."
Her story in these pages should remind everyone why she deserves to chronicled
to performance history and renmembered with a warm smile. Sometimes humorous,
other times sadly ironic, it should bring to everyone's heart a soft "if only,
if only."
Coming soon!
Gary Olszewski, an avid theater historian, began this book after seeing her play
the lead in 1934's "Woman Haters", billed top and above the 3 Stooges, and
started with the thought "Who was she, and whatever became of her?" Upon
researching her life and career, he embarked on a comprehensive
biographical/historical journey of her and her family ancestry, which dates to
Scotland"s House of Stuart in the 1600s. Gary is a semi-retired Vietnam veteran,
and currently lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he continues his literary
pursuits.
