Potato chips and cheese sandwiches, AND coffee? Those Hollywood stars are just like us!
Adrienne Ames was born in Texas, got her start in silents, and had a good run in the thirties. Tastes change, as they usually do, and she retired from films in the early 40s, doing occasional stage work in New York. She died young - she’s twenty-six in the picture above, and would die at the age of 39.
That doesn’t quite tell the entire story. She was married three times - first to a Texas oilman when she was 16. Had a kid, divorced him, went to Hollywood, did some bit parts, then went to New York to study at Columbia, then married a millionaire broker when she was 25. Off to Beverly Hllls! She stayed with that one until the year this brochure was produced; she divorced him in September 33, and married actor Bruce Cabot, with whom she’d been having a long affair.
She was also reputed to own a penguin.
