The child's gaze and the light is beautiful here, but what's up with mom?

Laetitia Sadler


My former SO was crushed after she and the dudes of the band in which she was a member were befriended by the kids in Stereolab at Lollapalooza, and then summarily de-friended by them by the next time they met in Europe. Show-Bidness is cruel, eh?

I really love this portrait.

Silent Picture Star June Marlowe, 1925

June Marlowe, (1925) (sorry, that's all I have on this one). I'll try.

June Marlowe (November 6, 1903 – March 10, 1984), was an American actress, who appeared in six Our Gang short subjects as the lovely schoolteacher, Miss Crabtree.

Marlowe was born Gisela Goetten, of German [?!], in St. Cloud, Minnesota. She was a prolific actress in silent films during the 1920s, appearing in films opposite John Barrymore and Rin Tin Tin. Her career did well, until the introduction of talking pictures. Marlowe didn't make an easy transition, and by 1930 was starting to drift away from acting.

By chance, she happened to meet Our Gang director Robert F. McGowan one day in a Los Angeles, California department store. McGowan was searching for an actress to portray the schoolteacher in the Our Gang series of children's comedies. After producer Hal Roach suggested that Marlowe, a brunette, wear a blonde wig to match the hair of the lead kid i nthe series, Jackie Cooper, she was given the part.
