Claudette Colbert in “The Palm Beach Story” (1942). She passed away at age 96 on this day in 1996 after a 60+yr career of nearly 80 films and approximately 2 dozen theater roles. She was an 1989 Kennedy Center honoree (https://youtu.be/Pg8f-qYVe0Q?si=08YPAJqLeeu0apGc)

“The Palm Beach Story” (1942) came under heavy scrutiny by the production code for “light treatment of marriage and divorce” and it’s original title of “Is Marriage Necessary?”

Yes, then every other piece of evidence is Italian or something very different

You can really tell the difference between who has watched “Design for Living” (1933) and who hasn’t

"Mr. Osborne doesn't always hold his liquor to perfection."

Robert Dudley was originally a Dentist but after feeling unsatisfied with that he started working in films in 1917. By the 1940s he became part of the informal stock company of Preston Sturges. He passed away in 1955 at age 86 having amassed a filmography of more than 110 films
