By Jess L. Hoaglin Ilona Massey during the height of her career in Hollywood. The beautiful soul of Llona Massey f Hollywood has always been considered a place of glamour and the chosen people who have had the good fortune of being a part of the motion picture industry since the very beginning made it that way in the first place. And that is as it should be! Unfortunately today, as we look at the silver screen there seems to be a constant digression from this trend. Tragic, for today we do not see the likes of Garbo, Joan Crawford, Marion Davies, Mary Pickford, the Gish Sisters and ever so many more who brought laughter, fun and most of all, glamour, into our very lives. And that brings us to the introduction of one lovely lady who left the center stage of the silver screen to take up another exciting and perhaps more rewarding life. The beautiful lady we are referring to is ILONA MASSEY. Today, Ilona lives far from the cinema city. As the wife of retired general, Donald S. Dawson, she is one of the most prominent social figures in Washington. She and her husband make their home in Betheseda, Maryland and Ilona maintains a busy and lively social whirl that actually puts her Hollywood days in the shade. Oh no, she hasn’t forgotten those exciting days when she was a part of the light that brought pleasure to so many movie-goers . . . she remembers so very well but she just doesn’t dwell on what happened in the past. Today is the thing for her now. But her myriad of fans cannot brush aside the memory of this beautiful soul and the impact she made on her public in a relatively few films. 6
