Mary Nolan (1905-1948): Blonde and utterly beautiful,she had the requisite figure and prettiness to rise up fast in the Hollywood ranks.Her downfall,however, would be just as fast and not at all pretty.She was discovered by Florenz Ziegfeld,and became a dancer in his follies.She made the fatal career mistake of involving herself with a married Ziegfeld comedian and stirring up a major sex scandal.The tabloids exposed the affair after Mary was seriously hospitalized during one of their many arguments.As a third-party husband-stealer,she received no comfort at all despite her injuries,and was summarily fired by Ziegfeld.She adopted the stage name Mary Nolan and had a brief film career.She suffered several nervous breakdowns and her health declined due to acute malnutrition and a variety of physical ailments.She turned to heroin,and it spelled the end.Little was heard from her until 1948,when she died of cardiac arrest and liver problems. - Kits: Baroque (mini-kit), Porch Swing by J.Daugherty
