(If you want to order "The Goddess" off amazon, search for the book, which comes with a DVD. Searching under movies only yields a DVD-r bootleg copy.)

Unsure of the actress's name, but she's from 1933's absolutely beuatiful silent Japanese gangster flick 'Hijosen no onna' or 'Dragnet Girl' http://img.verycd.com/posts/0612/post-493702-1165306396.jpg http://img147.echo.cx/img147/1548/vlcsnap6123439pf.png

Maude Adams wasn't strictly a '20s/'30s actress (she was the first actress to play Peter Pan on Broadway in the '00s; she retired in the '10s to work for General Electric, teach drama, and generally have her shit together, but she briefly returned to stage acting in the early '30s), but this is too great a portrait not to share:

i just saw "trouble in paradise" last night and she is just irresistable. her wikipedia entry is very sad -
In 1966 Francis was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy, but the cancer had spread and proved fatal. Having no living immediate family members, Francis left over $1,000,000 to a company, Seeing Eye, Inc., which trained guide dogs for the blind.
