Just thought I'd drop this in... food for thought. One of my hobbies is to write famous people through the mail, get an autograph, possibly even get them to answer a question or two. Sometimes I get no reply, sometimes a fake signature, butsometimes I get something good! And, yes, on occasion, I ask "the question"!
Maureen O'Sullivan - she was Jane in the 1930s Tarzan. Althought she died recently, shw wa quite lovely in her heyday. I can't remeber what exactly I asked in my letter, but it boiled down to the brief tickling scene in Tarzan - was it real? I didn't recieve an answer, but I sent a long a B&W photo of these scene ( Tarzan running his fingers across her toes ) and she did sign the photo for me!
Jeannie Moreau - I asked her about the "reverse" ( female to male tickling ) scene in THE GREAT CATHRINE, but my letter was never answered.
Janet Leigh - She's cool! I asked her in a letter basically "how was the sawing a woman in half scene done" in her film HOUDINI? And.... were those her real feet being tickled? Well, she answered humorously that she could not go into the deatails of the trick, but, yes, those were fher feet really being tickled!
Florence Henderson- I think I just staright out asked in my letter- "are you ticklish?" ( She got tickled in one of the sawing a womanin half tricks during the t.v. show Night of 100 Stars back around 1981 or '82.) She wrote back saying she was indeed, truely, ticklish!
Anita Page- I'm a big Buster Keaton fan and noticed a really good looking woman in his 1st sound feature - and young enough to still be alive! after some searching on the internet, I come to find out that indeed, Anita Page was still alive and was one of the biggest silent stars of the late silent era, just after Joan Crawford. Well, I originally wrote to her to find out more about Buster and the silent film era in General, but then I caight Ms. Page in BROADWAY MELODY - the 1st sound musical. In it, she slowly unwrappes silk stocking from her legs, revealing nice feet- perfect for you-know-what! Well, that was it! I wrote to her again, asking sevreal questions,but also one like...... to get people to laugh on screen in the early days, I've read that the had to be tickled on the feet ofscreen (supposedly true in the film VARIETY GIRL). Did this actually happen and wouldn't it be distracting?.... well, Anita Page answered with something like "It certainly would have distracted me!"
So there you are - some of Hollywood's lovelies of yesteryear were also ticklish. Now, onto my next querry... Sophia Lauren!
