And another 1930's actress from Mexico, Lupe Velez (all pics from eBay)
Some sad trivia from imdb.com:
Lupe wanted to be remembered; that was her one wish. Since she was not being remembered by her films, she decided to be remembered by her suicide. She had everything planned; the pretty silk night gown, and make-up, the position. She knew that picture would make front cover news the next day. Unfortunatly, her over-dose of pills didn't settle well with her last meal, so they found her with her head in the toilet. Amazingly enough, she got what she wanted, she is remembered, just not the way she thought she would be.
She was pregnant at the time of her death, and in her suicide note named French actor Harald Maresch as the father. She was 36 when she died.
From IMDb
Drank herself to death. On May 11, 1941, her last husband, Albert G. Roberts (born 11 October 1902), and his friend found her slumped over the kitchen table dead with her head down on her arms, a cigarette in her mouth, and an empty glass in her hand. 19 days after Shannon's death, Roberts fatally shot himself to death right on the spot where she died.
Became stage actress in New York in 1926.
In 1931, Paramount's Bud Schulberg signed her up to replace the "It" girl, Clara Bow in the movie "Secret Call" after Bow suffered a nervous breakdown.
Was a Ziegfield Girl for a while in the twenties.
Appeared in a Broadway play "Page Miss Glory" which opened November 27th, 1934 as the girlfriend of a then-unknown Jimmy Stewart.

Thank DosViolines I love carole Lombard. She was a muse for my favorite Hollywood costume designer -- Travis Banton. Do you have any pics of her in some Banton gowns?
