Fields daughter in THE BANK DICK and also Harold Lloyd’s leading lady in THE CAT’S-PAW.

Whoops, I completely overlooked that she was in THE BANK DICK, which I have seen. Haven’t seen THE CAT’S PAW, but that is another one I do want to get around to watching some day.

I just read a little bit on Una and, man, it sounds like she had quite a sad life. Not only did her mother kill herself, but she almost killed Una in the process! That’s got to be mentally scarring!
