What a sweetheart!

I just finished up my interview with golden age actress Beverly Roberts, who you may remember from China Clipper (w/Bogart) or The Perfect Specimen (w/Errol Flynn and Joan Blondell). She'll be 94 in May and is one of the nicest people I've spoken with! If you're interested, you can listen and/or read here:

That is a fabulous interview. I love your site.
I had to find out who the Eleanor Duse was. Seems Beverly Roberts is not the only person who thinks highly of her acting.

Thanks guys! I will be visiting Beverly at her home this weekend to take her a copy of the interview. I'm hoping to get a photo with her and an autograph!

Kudos on this interview! It's wonderful to hear from an actress who isn't a household name today, but who lived and worked all throughout the Golden Era. She is sure a class act. Loved what she had to say about the difference between stars then and stars now, the differences in promotion and image.

Thank you for posting this!

My pleasure! I also (though I kept it to myself) felt bad for Beverly. she really couldn't believe that anyone still cares about her. She mentioned that to me a few times outside of the interview.

This was great! What a fantastic lady! Next time you see her, tell her we said hi!

I sure will

By the way, if anyone would like an autographed photo of Beverly, she's happy to provide them. Send me a PM and I'll give you the necessary info.
