The Passing Parade/ZC/V/c Crivello ROCHELLE HUDSON -1915 -1972 f Rochelle Hudson belongs absolutely to the 1930s. The lissome dark ingenue with the fabulous eyes was notable for a beautiful speaking voice and considerable charm. Her tragedy was that the promise of her early years was never fulfilled, and she was trapped in a web of B pictures. Although studio biographers once insisted she was born in Claremore, Okla., hometown of Will Rogers, her birthplace was really Oklahoma City, where she was born March 6, 1915. At 16, she made her debut with Edna May Oliver in “Laugh and Get Rich.” On the strength of her performance in Ford’s “Dr. Bull” (’33), opposite Will Rogers, she signed with Fox. She became the erstwhile ingenue of Rogers successes, “Mr. Skitch,” “Judge Priest,” and “Life Begins At 40”; the only attractive actress to work with Mae West, in “She Done Him Wrong”; Claudette Colbert’s rebellious daughter in the original “Imitation of Life”; the beautiful Cosette of “Les Miserables” with Fredric March; Shirley Temple’s big sister in “Curly Top”; she loved Henry Fonda not wisely but too well in the remake of “Way Down East.” Her co-star in “Poppy” (’36) was the great W. C. Fields. Their scenes together were both funny and touching in her last important role of the period. Her subsequent stay at Columbia (’39-41’) was not as successful, suffering from poor material. Following “Queen of Broadway” (’42) with Buster Crabbe, she quit the business. During World War II she was married to Harold Thompson, a naval reservist. Together they made several trips to and from Mexico on the pretext of fishing expeditions. Actually they were engaged in espionage for the US government. On one trip they discovered a large cache of high-test aviation gas hidden by German agents in Baja, Calif. In ’48, she toured with Bert Lahr in “Burlesque.” Year end clean-up Sale on all 1972 Buicks & Opels fleet discount to all studio employees LEASING ALL MAKES This dealership has been personally contacted and has agreed to give employees of all Studios the best possible deal, consistent with ethical business practices.
