Collection Spotlight: Ann, Ann, & Ann (Dvorak, Sheridan, & Nagel That Is)
Year of Ann Dvorak: Day 104
This is another item from the collection that falls under the “favorite” category. It’s three Warner Bros. gals, Ann Dvorak, Ann Sheridan, and Ann Nagel presumably hanging out in Sheridan’s dressing room since she doesn’t have any make-up on and appears to be in lounge-wear. The photo is from late 1936 and Dvorak is in costume as Della Street in The Case of the Stuttering Bishop. Even though Nagel is also in that film, I don’t think she’s in costume, but I could be wrong. When this was taken, Dvorak was weeks, or even days away from severing ties with the studio.
I purchased this one around 11 years ago at a local shop. It was filed in the Ann Sheridan folder and when I found it, I felt like I had struck gold. I considered using it in the book, but ultimately it did not make the cut. Still, it is a great picture of three fabulous ladies.
kinda sad that Ann D was close to leaving WB while Ann S was just beginning her rise to stardom there. 2 very talented and underrated actresses. Ann Nagel i’ve probly seen a zillion times but i am not familiar with her by name.
interesting to see Ann S without makeup…obviously much of her “oomph” was genetic!
Probably a monthly meeting of the “Ann Club” (Although Ann Nagel actually ANNE Nagel, but who’s quibbling)…
I consider it a personal victory that I spelled Nagel correctly. (I did spell it correctly, right?)
