Future Favorites — Evalyn Knapp (1936) 🇺🇸
Evalyn ... spell it with an "A" ... Knapp ... a Missouri gal ... born in good old Kansas City ... the "show me" town of the "show me" State ...
Her blue eyes ... natural blond hair ... betray her Swedish-American ancestry ... Her brother is Orville Knapp ... crack orchestra leader, now playing at New York's Waldorf-Astoria ... Evalyn is a girl of contradictions ... Likes to watch prize-fights, but never loves to write.
Favorite dishes are corned beef and cabbage ... and filet mignon with mushrooms ... wants a gila monster as a pet ... no less ... but can't stand the sight of a spider, especially a black "widder." ... Walked in her sleep when a child ... walks plenty now when she's awake ... daily ... for health and beauty, but never entered any bunion derby ... Is said to have the smallest waist-line of any Hollywood actress ... and her mouth has been voted the most perfectly, formed of any screen player ... a real Cupid's bow ... Prefers sport clothes to fancy or frilly things ... Her pet aversions are ...
(1) going to a dentist ...
(2) spinach (ah there, Baby Leroy!) ...
(3) microscopic mustaches on men ...
Her first ambition was to be a ballet dancer ... and still believes she'd like that profession if she ever leaves the screen ... Is not temperamental ... doesn't believe in dieting ... but swears that a combination of four apples a day ... walking ... and singing in her bathtub ... keep her healthy ... and her figure in fine shape ... But four apples a day didn't keep the doctor away ... For Evalyn recently was married to Doctor George A. Snyder, Hollywood physician ... and sportsman ... She has now taken up the big outdoors with a vengeance ... She shoots ... rides ... swims and fishes ... and recently landed a 195-pound Marlin swordfish unaided ... from the deck of her own yacht ... the "Cielito Lindo." ... Evalyn came to the screen via the stage ... chronologically, her biography is as follows ... dancing lessons ... going to New York ... where she made her stage debut ... signing a film contract and coming to California ... success ... with not many obstacles to hurdle ... happy marriage ... and, finally, the resumption of her screen career.
DID YOU KNOW THAT Kay Francis dislikes jewelry and never wears anything- but a wrist watch for adornment?
