Year of Ann Dvorak: Day 284<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On October 11, 1935, Ann Dvorak reported to Warner Bros. to begin\u00c2\u00a0Sweet Music<\/strong><\/a>, a musical comedy starring Rudy Vallee and directed by Alfred Green. Even though Ann had started her film career as a chorus dancer at MGM, by 1935 she had developed a reputation as a serious dramatic actress. Ann wanted to return to her roots, so to speak, and lobbied hard for the role in\u00c2\u00a0Sweet Music<\/strong><\/a>.
