Joan Marsh — Temporarily Idle (1932) 🇺🇸
Maybe to give the good old executives a scare, Joan is announcing that she’s on the fence between marriage and career.

Tala Birell has poise and bearing and an exotic appeal — qualities which have placed her right in the front-line trenches of stardom.

Claudette isn’t a bit downcast by the fact that she was the girl chosen to play opposite the one and only Mr. Cohan in “The Phantom President.”

Men Behind the Stars — Mervyn LeRoy (1937) 🇺🇸
The variety of past contributions to the screen marks him with unequalled versatility of genius. He has coupled such hard-hitting drama as “Little Caesar” with the frivolities of a “Gold Diggers” extravaganza.
D. W. Griffith — The Star Maker Whose Dreams Turned to Dust (1934) 🇺🇸
He produced over four hundred films. Only a small part of profits these movies made ever found their way back to Griffith. When they did, he usually tossed the money, with reckless courage, into another picture.

Clarence Brown’s career is unique. Educated at the University of Tennessee, from which he was graduated with degrees as an electrical and a mechanical engineer, he did not immediately interest himself in motion pictures.
Men Behind the Stars — John M. Stahl (1937) 🇺🇸
By the time John M. Stahl had reached his sixteenth birthday, he was sure that he did not want to follow in the footsteps of his father.
Men Behind the Stars — William Dieterle (1937) 🇺🇸
