Year of Ann Dvorak: Day 315<\/h3>\n

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

There is much news to report today so here’s the rundown.<\/p>\n

Bright Lights<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong>in going to air on Turner Classic Movies on Tuesday November 12th at 3:45am PST. One day, TCM will screen an Ann Dvorak movie after sunrise. Until then, I recommend trying to catch this 1935 feature starring Ann and Joe E. Brown which doesn’t air too often. It’s a fun film and the pair have great chemistry as husband and wife. Hopefully there’s a Warner Archive<\/a> release in our future. (You listening Warner Archive??)<\/p>\n

This morning’s\u00c2\u00a0Los Angeles Times\u00c2\u00a0<\/em><\/a>features a nice little promo for the book and launch party. Special thanks to Susan King for getting Ann some coverage.<\/p>\n

Just a reminder that tomorrow is the\u00c2\u00a0Ann Dvorak: Hollywood’s Forgotten Rebel\u00c2\u00a0<\/em>Official Book Launch Party!<\/a> As soon as I post this, I will be heading to the kitchen to prepare Ann Dvorak fudge and pralines.\u00c2\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, on this Veterans Day holiday, I wanted to make note of Ann’s contribution to the war effort. Not too many of us would have so willingly traveled through hostile waters as civilians during Christmas of 1940 to get to a London being bombarded in the midst of the Blitz. Ann Dvorak did just that, and spent nearly three years in the UK. One of her many contributions was as a member of the Mechanised Transport Corps (MTC) where she drove an ambulance though a war-torn city, rescuing the wounded after air raids. Above is a photo of our gal in her MTC uniform, a true veteran.<\/p>\n
