"the wavishing Kay Fwancis"
that's what the Hollywood wags used to call Kay Francis (1899?-1968). the poor thing had a slight problem with her r's which made her the butt of jokes. but I always found her a bit short of marvelous. maybe it was that she made up for her speech problem & funny hairline by wearing clothes so well & simply standing like a piece of sculpture.

I always liked her, and have some nice photos of her also. She's real good in trouble in paradise with the equally fine Miriam Hopkins who I also always liked. I've always heard that Francis was a lesbian.
haven't read the bio of her but the authors had access to her private diaries. apparently she was bi with much time spent in bed with major stars of both sexes.
