Year of Ann Dvorak: Day 186
This photo of Ann dishing up a plate of fudge accompanied her recipe for the dessert in one of the film fan magazines. I seriously doubt Ann made this fudge herself and I equally doubt she had a recipe she was dying to share with the masses.
Ann jeopardized her career with Warner Bros. so early on, that the studio PR machine didn’t spend too much time on her. The rare cases when she engaged in this type of publicity seem rather ridiculous. Still, it’s a also fun, so fudge to you!
In the Hollywood of the 1930’s, one simply did NOT eat fudge — or make it — while casually attired. Unless you wanted to announce yourself as uncouth.
It’s nice to see that our Ann saw fit, in this photograph, to observe the proper fudge eating/making etiquette of being impeccably coiffed and dressed as she did so.
Take that, Norma Shearer!
Ann may have had her faults, but being improperly dressed while serving fudge was not one of them!
