Year of Ann Dvorak: Day 331<\/h3>\n

\"Match003\"<\/p>\n

As you thumb through your copy of\u00c2\u00a0Ann Dvorak: Hollywood’s Forgotten Rebel<\/em><\/a> and come across this photo, some of you may be wondering why I did not select one of the more shocking ones \u00c2\u00a0from\u00c2\u00a0Three on a Match<\/strong><\/a> showing a disheveled, drug-addicted Ann getting ready to throw herself through a window. Yes, one of the images from later on in the film may have been more visually arresting, but I felt very strongly about including this photo with Warren William because it was the first piece of Ann I ever owned. This photo is what got me started on this crazy journey.<\/p>\n

A few months back I detailed how my friend Darin<\/a> introduced me to the world of memorabilia collecting by giving me a photo of Ann Dvorak he just happened to have at home. This was that photo. At this time I was unaware that a working class kid like myself could own vintage movie memorabilia, so to be handed an original still of one of my favorite actresses in one of my favorite films was a revelation. Sixteen years later I have A LOT of Dvorak memorabilia to show for it and along with a published book about the lady herself.<\/p>\n

I think including this photo in the book was a fitting homage to Darin, Ann, and that fateful date in 1997 that changed the course of my life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
