Ann Dvorak, born Anna McKim (New York, 2 August 1911 - Honolulu, 10 December 1979), was an American actress.
Born in New York in 1911, Dvorak was the daughter of actress Anna Lehr (1890-1974) and director Edwin McKim (1868-1942). She began working from the age of four under the name Baby Ann Lehr for MGM as a child actress in three films: Ramona (Donald Crisp, 1916), The Man Hater (Albert Parker, 1917), and the short film The Five Dollar Plate (J. Gordon Cooper & Carl Harbaugh, 1920). After a gap of several years, Dvorak returned to the sets when sound film set in. In 1929-31 she did over thirty uncredited parts in early sound films such as the Ramon Novarro vehicles Devil-May-Care (Sidney Franklin, 1929) and Son of India (Jacques Feyder, 1931), often playing chorus girls. Her first credited part was in a MGM musical short titled The Snappy Caballero (Jack Cummings, 1931), with Paul Ellis and Conchita Montenegro.
In the late 1920s Dvorak was introduced to Howard Hughes, who turned her from a dancer into a leading actress, first in the aviation comedy Sky Devils (1932) with Spencer Tracy and George Cooper, which reused some aerial footage from Hughes' Hell's Angels. Dvorak immediately got the female lead of the film. Yet, it was Hughes' next film for his company Caddo film, the gangster movie Scarface (1932) by Howard Hawks, that turned both Paul Muni and Dvorak into international stars. At Warner Bros., Hawks recasted her as The Other Woman opposite Joan Blondell in the motor-racing drama The Crowd Roars (1932), starring James Cagney. From then one, Dvorak became a Warner star. She starred in several precode - often quite rough - dramas such as The Strange of Molly Louvain (Michael Curtiz, 1932), Love is a Racket (William Wellman, 1932), Stranger in Town (Erle Kenton, 1932), Crooner (Lloyd Bacon, 1932), Three on a Match (Mervyn LeRoy, 1932), The Way to Love (Norman Taurog, 1933), etc.
While less active in 1933, Dvorak was in seven more films in 1934, always produced by Warner/ First National. In 1935 Muni and Dvorak were reunited in Dr. Socrates by William Dieterle, about a small-town doctor dragged into helping a notorious robber. The film was advertised as 'The Scarface of Medicine'. Occasionally, Dvorak also played at other companies such as 20th Century Artists, RKO and Republic, and in particular several films in the late 1930s at Columbia, but most of her films of the 1930s were at Warner and its affiliate company First National, such as the Perry Mason detective The Case of the Stuttering Bishop (William Clemens, 1937), staring Warren William. Instead, Charles Vidor directed her at Paramount in She's No Lady (1937) and at Columbia in Blind Alley (1939). As Dvorak thought she earned too little money at Warner, she started freelancing, but offers were less frequent and scripts more modest. After only one film in 1936, she still did five in 1937, but afterward just a few each year.
During WWII Dvorak did several films in Britain with her husband Leslie Fenton, e.g. at British sections of Warner and RKO, and also worked as ambulance driver. After the war, she continued to act in films but with less frequency than before. She was e.g. one of the leading actresses in Albert Lewin's Bel Ami (1947), starring George Sanders, and the female star of The Return of Jesse James (Arthur Hilton, 1950) and I Was an American Spy (Lesley Selander, 1951), in addition to supporting parts in other films. In 1950-52 she also worked on five TV series. All in all, Ann Dvorak acted in 95 films and TV series.
In 1932, Dvorak married British actor Leslie Fenton, in whose films Stronger Than Desire (1940) and There's a Future in It (1943) she acted. Fenton and Dvorak divorced in 1945. She retired from the stage in 1951, the year in which she married for the third time, to Nicholas Wade, to whom she remained bound until his death in 1975. She lived the last years of her life in Hawaii and died in 1979 in Honolulu of stomach cancer, at the age of 68. The actress' body was later cremated and her ashes were scattered in the Pacific Ocean from Waikiki Beach. A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is dedicated to her.

I have to say there are some high-lights to my birding experience. I do not think I will ever forget the day I stammered and stuttered Cardinal. Some of my best days were watching out to see if this beautiful bird would come by again. And talk about a song, now that's a song bird. I hope everyone has a chance to someday listen to their song.
Any ideas on why this line randomly happens? Its obviously not a light leak because of its randomness.. Im guessing a sort of hiccup, or stutter in the swing lens.

Come in she said standing
in embroidered panties one leg
raised to step in or
out and my tongue stuttered
sorry and I retreated into
the living room’s sanctioned mess.
On a painful left heel I filled
the Duralex glass with cold cognac
and rolled it down her
human back the colour of the liquid
twisting like a long tear
the length of her leg.
Violin and piano wrapped us
in our touch and I guided my head
with my hand to places
I did not know cushioned in a
soft density of down I unbuttoned
all the positions and understood.
Understood Cavafy whose day in
day out was erotic encounters
in hallways eyes drawing near
on the other side of doors
of open shops hands hesitating
and the footfall overlaying another.
Alley after alley neighborhood to
neighborhood and voices
in restaurants libraries behind
pulled shades the body’s voice
the body’s hallucinatory gestures
only the mirror knows who lusts.
Otello of Rossini envious black
man kills to the plick of the harp
which Verdi learned from goes on
and on with pleasing moderation
as the evening passes from quiet
with a shudder to hot hot.
Each chair gets its turn no chair has
the right to be jealous but I wanted
to say just a moment ago that I
remembered above all my forefinger
knuckle in her mouth as democracy
reigns after the splendor of Venetian evil.

Stuttering Frog (Mixophyes balbus) from Gloucester Tops. This is an endangered species, and has become locally extinct in many place. For some reason, the Gloucester area seems to be a stonghold for them.
This guy's a little skinny, but he was posing really well.
