Year of Ann Dvorak: Day 253<\/h3>\n

I recently won this\u00c2\u00a0Sky Devils<\/strong><\/a>\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong>publicity photo on eBay, which arrived in the mail yesterday. It was issued by Howard Hughes’ Caddo Company and the snipe on the back of the photo refers to Ann as “Hollywood’s latest Cinderella.” In late 1931\/early 1932, this, along with the variation of “Hollywood’s new Cinderella,” was a label applied to Ann often. She had endured the lowly role of chorus girl for over two years at MGM, but referring to her casting in\u00c2\u00a0Scarface<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong>as an overnight success made for better press. The columnists ate up the Cinderella angle, and even though Ann had been at her wits end at MGM for quite some time, landing the role of Cesca Camonte as her first speaking part was indeed rather fantastic.<\/p>\n

Less than a year after snagging\u00c2\u00a0Scarface,<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong>Ann would be on a slow boat to Europe for a honeymoon unauthorized by her studio and the press would stop making mention of her Cinderella story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
