NANA ( 1933) 267 Mary Pickford produced Secrets, a heart-throb story of pioneer days, for United Artists in 1933. Seated with Mary is Leslie Howard. BELOW That same year, Samuel Goldwyn unveiled a new Russian actress, Anna Sten, who, he thought, was going to become another Banky, Garbo, or Dietrich. She was undeniaoly beautiful, as eloquently evidenced by the scene below with Lionel Atwill, but her acting was hardly expert, and her all-too-Russian accent was better suited to comedy than to tragedy. Her first American picture, an adaptation of Zola's Nana, didn't help much, either, being slow and on the dull side. Dorothy Arzner directed.
