I found this photo on eBay a few weeks back and I was stumped, I don’t recall seeing Natalie Moorhead in a movie with Nydia Westman(another one of my favorites), what could this be from? I could barely make out the writing on the back, but I figured it said Cooking Her Goose, so I looked it up and found it was a play by the Duffy Players in San Francisco in 1929. Then I looked it up on eBay and to my amazement I found this program from the play, and in the program there is a little paragraph about Natalie. It says she has been in a few pictures, so this means she was still acting on the stage while in Hollywood, I wonder how much stage work she did after arriving in Hollywood?
It's amazing how many Pittsburgh actors were around back then in Hollywood. David O Sleznick, William Powell, Regis Toomey, Adolphe Menjou, Olive Thomas, Dolores Costello, Thomas Meighan, Pandro Berman...I'm sure she felt right at home! I found a 1960 pic of her in the Santa Barbara newspapers
ReplyDeleteSelznick and Berman were producers, of course
