Ross Alexander: The tragically brief life of fresh-faced, boyishly handsome Ross
Alexander, who seemed to have everything going for him, plays these
days like a bad Hollywood movie. Alexander was a charming, highly
engaging young actor whose pleasant voice and breezy personality aided
greatly in his transition from Broadway teen player to young adult
Warner Bros. film actor. His peers would include such Warner stalwarts
as Ruby Keeler, Dick Powell and Erroll Flynn. Off-camera, however,
Ross, a closeted homosexual, became an acutely self-destructive young
man whose career instability and domestic tragedy would take its toll.
The tormented Ross ended his own life by gunshot at age 29.
Ruby Keeler: started as a dancer on Broadway. After her marriage to Al Jolson
she moved to Hollywood and become a star in Warners musicals opposite Dick Powell. After her divorce from Jolson she retired for almost 30 years,
until she appeared in "No No Nanette" on Broadway in 1971 under the
direction of Busby Berkeley.
Dick Powell: was an American actor, singer,
musician, producer, director, and studio head. Though he came to stardom
as a musical comedy performer, he showed versatility and successfully
transformed into a hardboiled leading man, starring in projects of a
more dramatic nature.
Mable Lee: sometimes spelled Mabel Lee, was an American jazz tap dancer, singer, and entertainer. Lee appeared on Broadway, at the Apollo Theater, and was known as "Queen of the Soundies" due to her numerous performances in the films.
