Betty Bronson
I have just reveived this rather nice postcard of Betty Bronson (17th November 1906 – 19th October 1971) an American television and film actress who began her career during the silent film era. The card comes from the silent film Ben Hur made in 1925

My wife, bless her tells me that I am rapidly becoming, or perhaps that should read have become a “Grumpy old fart”, so what better forum to spread my doom, gloom and paranoia than WordPress. I also have a love of old pictures, postcards and Edwardian Actresses, in particular Miss Gabrielle Ray which I hope to share at regular intervals. As my collection has grown I have set up another blog which contains only pictures of Miss Ray. Gabrielle Ray Thank you for viewing and comments are welcome.

Grumpy old fart!!! 
Wasn’t she lovely as Mary? Am watching the 1925 Ben Hur right now, so much better than the 50’s version. I didn’t realise that they had found a copy with the original two-strip technicolor. There is a beautiful image of Miss Bronson at http://wondersinthedark.wordpress.com/2010/01/19/ben-hur-a-tale-of-the-christ-no-69/
Thank you Deborah, yes she was lovely, I still haven’t seen her performance but perhaps the BBC will show it.
