June Marlowe (* 6 November 1903 in St. Cloud, Minnesota as Gisela Valaria Goetten; † 10 March 1984 in Burbank, California) was an American actress with German roots. Her best-known role was as the lovely teacher Miss Crabtree in a total of six Our Gang films.
June Marlowe was born under the name Gisela Valaria Goetten to German-American parents. She was the eldest of five children, her younger siblings also later had minor careers in the film industry. In 1920 the family moved to Los Angeles where June was discovered in high school by director Malcolm St. Clair. The good-looking actress made her film debut in 1923, waas contracted by Warner in 1924, and after supporting parts in various Warner films, she soon played major roles in five films starring the then famous sheepdog Rin Tin Tin, such as Find Your Man (Malcolm St. Clair, 1924), Below the Line (Herman Raymaker, 1925), and The Clash of the Wolves (Noel Smith, 1925). The brunette was chosen among the WAMPAS Baby Stars in 1925 and went on to get leading roles. In 1928 she was contracted by Universal, where she started in 1927 in such films as Alias the Deacon (Edward Sloman, 1927) and The Foreign Legion (Sloman, 1928), while also acting at smaller companies such as Rayart Pictures and Samuel Bischoff productions. In 1929 she visited Germany and made two silent films there for the German Universal Pictures: Durchs Brandenburger Tor/ Through the Brandenburg Gate with Paul Henckels and Die seltsame Vergangenheit der Thea Carter/ The Strange Past of Thea Carter with Olaf Fønss, in both films Marlowe had the female lead. She subsequently returned to the United States, but found the transition from silent to talkies difficult. She also played the attractive daughter of a prison warden in Laurel and Hardy's first feature-length film, Behind Bars, in 1930.
In 1933, Marlowe married businessman Rodney Sprigg and, after over 40 films, ended her acting career to work as a housewife. With her retirement, Miss Crabtree also disappeared from the series, although producer Roach made several efforts to have Marlow return. She remained married to Sprigg until his death in August 1982, and in later years wrote two children's books. June Marlowe died in 1984 at the age of 80 from complications of Parkinson's disease. She was originally buried in San Fernando Mission Cemetery near Los Angeles, though moved to the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in 2002.

This month's feature pig from my collection is a metal watering can, one of two that I have and comes in quite handy in my little garden during the Summer.

Members of the 101st Airborne join up with the advancing 4th Infantry division after being scattered throughout random areas behind enemy lines. While on patrol, they come across an "abandoned" mansion being used as an HQ for Wehrmacht forces. Greatly outnumbered, the Americans seems to have lost already...
I've never been good at these stories, so forgive me. :p
Comments always appreciated, as long as you keep it clean - I love to hear your feedback! xx
Oops - forgot this one from June.
So I got brave and bought myself an epilator!
I have to admit I was not looking forward to the first use one little bit! I have a low pain threshold. But in fact it was a lot less painful than I expected - and I have been using it ever since. I am a convert!
I think it helps that I've been on hormones for near on 2 years, which will mean the hairs are finer and softer, and it helps that I epilated under a hot shower. I would describe the sensation as similar to being on a beach on a gusty day, with the sand particles hitting you legs and arms. I thought my first session of laser hair removal was way more painful than this, and even that was nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be.
My legs did look like a plucked chicken for the rest of the day though, ha ha!
It's been a while since my latest visit. Today, as I was walking with a friend, we passed his villa on the hill and I suggested we go up and pay Aulis a visit.
Aulis Junes, 86y/o, was as friendly, hospitable and talkative as ever.
This one of a kind old man, has so many stories to tell that it seems like he won't ever have enough time to share them all, but I am sure he'll never run out of them.
The words just flow out off his mind with energy in a nonstop verbal stream. He recalls in details the background of each purchase he has done over time. It actually takes an effort to concentrate on the names and dates he mentions as he goes, on the circumstances which have connected him to so many people.
Over the decades, Aulis has accumulated an incredible huge amount of furniture, twenty thousands books, various art objects and innumerable divers items. They are all displayed in his old 22 room villa. He has created his lifetime museum.
I wonder what will happen to his labour of love once he is gone...

The Dissertation
Well, last night I was proof reading Simon Brooke's dissertation for him & happened to have Gorm sitting on the table next to me after photographing him yesterday & it got me to thinking. What would a dinosaur write their dissertation on? The answer seemed fairly obvious really

I just can't leave this dress alone! I love it so much. My photostream is becoming a little predictable. Ha ha.

The last of the June photos, and a new (to me) tea dress. I wasn't sure it would suit me when I bought it online, but I'm really really happy with how it looks!

American film actress June Haver (1926-2005) was a popular alternative to the musical film stars Betty Grable and Alice Faye in several musicals of the 1940s. Haver's second husband was the actor Fred MacMurray, whom she married after she retired from show business.
June Haver was born June Stovenour in Rock Island, Illinois. She later took the last name of her stepfather Bert Haver. After the family moved to Ohio, seven-year-old June entered and won a contest of the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. At age 10, she moved back to Rock Island, where she began performing for Rudy Vallee. Her mother Marie Stovenour being an actress and her father Bert Haver being a musician, Haver often doubted who she - careerwise - wanted to follow. At age eight, she won a film test by imitating famous actresses including Greta Garbo, Katharine Hepburn, and Helen Hayes. Haver's mother, however, prohibited her daughter from becoming a child actress in the film industry, feeling she was too young. Working regularly as a band singer by her teens, she performed with the Ted Fio Rito Orchestra for $75 a week. Furthermore, she became a well-known child star on the local radio. In the summer of 1942, June Haver moved to Hollywood, where she finished high school. She acted in plays in her spare time and during a performance as a southern belle, she was discovered by a scout from 20th Century Fox. In 1943, Haver signed a $3,500 a week contract with the studio and made her film debut playing an uncredited role as a hat-check girl in the musical The Gang's All Here (Busby Berkeley, 1943). She was dropped shortly after because the studio executives felt that she looked too young, but was later re-signed after her costume and hairstyle were changed. 20th Century Fox had plans to mold Haver as a glamour girl stand-in for the studio's two biggest stars, Betty Grable and Alice Faye. She debuted on-screen in a supporting role as Cri-Cri in Home in Indiana (Henry Hathaway, 1944). According to the actress, she had just turned seventeen years old when her scenes were filmed. Even before Home in Indiana was released, she was assigned to replace Alice Faye in the Technicolor-musical, Irish Eyes Are Smiling (Gregory Ratoff, 1944). Later that year she co-starred with future husband, Fred MacMurray, in Where Do We Go From Here? (Gregory Ratoff, 1945), which was the only time the pair appeared together in a film.
During her career at Fox, June Haver was originally groomed to be the next Betty Grable (she was known as 'Pocket Grable). She even co-starred with Grable in The Dolly Sisters (Irving Cummings, 1945), a biographical film about Jennie and Rosie Dolly, Hungarian-born identical twins who became famous as entertainers on Broadway and in Europe in the early years of the twentieth century. In 1946, she starred and received first-billing in Wake Up and Dream (Lloyd Bacon, 1946) with John Payne, and Three Little Girls in Blue (H. Bruce Humberstone, 1946); both of which were well received and brought moderate success. The following year, the role of Katie was written into the film I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now (Lloyd Bacon, 1947) just for Haver. In 1947 she married trumpeter Jimmy Zito but they divorced in 1948. Possibly best known for her roles in optimistic musicals, Haver's comedy star-turn in Scudda Hoo! Scudda Hay! (F. Hugh Herbert, 1948) was a major success. The same year, she starred as Marilyn Miller in the musical Look for the Silver Lining (David Butler, 1949). To resemble the actress as much as possible, Haver had to drive to the studio an hour earlier for make-up. The following year, she would star in The Daughter of Rosie O'Grady (David Butler, 1950) and I'll Get By (Richard Sale, 1950).
In 1951, June Haver was teamed with Fox's newest asset, Marilyn Monroe, in the low-budget comedy, Love Nest (Joseph Newman, 1951). Even though Haver was the lead and received top-billing, most of the film's publicity centered around Monroe, who had a minor role and garnered under-the-title billing. Love Nest was June Haver's only full-length film in black and white. Her other 15 releases between 1943 and 1953 were shot in three-strip Technicolor, something of a record for a Hollywood Golden Age actress. In 1952 she became engaged to John Duzik, but the happiness was shortlived. He died less than a year later. In 1953 after her last film role in The Girl Next Door (Richard Sale, 1953) and because of John's death she entered the Sisters of Charity convent in Xavier, Kansas, but she had to leave less than a year later due to an illness she was suffering. In 1954, she married actor Fred MacMurray. Following her marriage, Haver remained largely retired from acting. Her last appearances were as herself on TV in The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour (1958) and Disneyland (1959). Haver and MacMurray would adopt two daughters and remain together until MacMurray's death in 1991. June Haver died from respiratory failure in 2005 at her home in Brentwood, California at the age of 79. She left two stepchildren (by MacMurray's first marriage), her adopted twin daughters, and seven grandchildren.
