She's right that Hollywood didn't respect her tremendous abilities as a serious actress. Even films that were fairly shoddy and lightweight and required her in some scenes to "show skin" demonstrate her superb acting skills. By the way, nothing wrong with her voice.

@@stevenroland7472 “Kid Boots” was good, “It” and “Mantrap.” There is a fictional book as her as Character in it recently, “Winging It” by H.P. Oliver. Even though it’s a fictional story it’s surprising very good. Amazon as E-Book.

The studio rushed her into talkies and didn't help her confidence. She developed a bad habit of staring up at the microphone during scenes. One time she panicked and tried to attack it.

Well said and well put. Her voice was indeed fine for talkies. During the 20s Paramount worked her like a dog and paid her no where near what she was worth. Drove her to a nervous breakdown, poor lady. She seemed so sweet & genuine. I think that's the main reason the public & her co-workers loved her. Thank you for your insightful comment.

@@davidthedeaf that’s a slight Brooklyn accent in this film, albeit toned down for the cameras. In the few other clips available, her accent is noticeable as well, but you have to listen for it.

@@fonso1030 @davidthedeaf nah that's definitely a New York accent. Listen to how she says the word "gorgeous" and "picture". She curls the r. Not much as some other speakers, but she does it. I could tell she was a New Yorker from the first few seconds, being from New York myself.
