US Lookup Requests / Re: Lookup request for Arthur Mavity (an actor) last known to be in Norwalk, CT
« on: Monday 11 August 14 20:35 BST (UK) »
I collect a lot of Old Hollywood and entertainment memorabilia and found this thread while doing a search for 'Denise Mavity' after running across a full-page photo of her in the March 19, 1940 issue of PIC magazine. I've uploaded and linked to the picture for you here:
(Copyright Note: Photo c. 1940. Mr. Korman died in 1961 and no renewal for this work was applied for; thus, it is in the public domain.)
The magazine caption says she is 19 years old (in 1940), but of course it was very common to lie about your age in showbusiness. The same gal took a trip to Brazil in 1940 and on the immigration card (via FamilySearch), she lists her correct birth year (1917) and her parents' names, Arthur and Helen.
