MEMORIES OF YOU WILL ALWAYS REMAIN

A tribute to the phenomenally beautiful Anita Page

 

August 4, 1910 – September 6, 2008

When her contract expired in 1933, she surprised Hollywood by announcing her retirement at the age of 23. She made one more movie (in the UK in 1936), and then left the screen, virtually disappearing from Hollywood circles for 60 years. In a 2004 interview with author Scott Feinberg, she revealed that her refusal to meet demands for sexual favors by MGM head of production Irving Thalberg, supported by studio chief Louis B. Mayer, is what truly ended her career. She said that Mayer colluded with the other studio bosses to ban her and other uncooperative actresses from finding work.
