Claire Luce: The Queen Of Broadway

All messages and asks about Claire Luce, my blogs and resource materials. This is a side-blog to msclaireluce and where I answer your questions, just to keep it separate and out of the way.

What are the names of Claire Luce's parents?

This hasn’t been asked before but I will give you an honest answer. Her parents are Maud (unknown maiden name) and Frederick Luce. We don’t quite know what they did for a career and how they pushed Claire into running away, but we do know that they might have been really awful parents to Claire and her brother, Leroy. Now, her brother is a sketch artist and would have been about two years (minimum) younger or older than Claire, so that makes his date of birth either: 1901 or 1905. Hope this helped -KR

When will Street Girl come out???

Do you mean Society Girl? It comes out in about nine months or in a year or so, but keep in mind that Kate is still writing the book as we speak. She also has to go to college on top of it, so probably in fourteen months or so. I hope that this helps. :) -LS

Unfortunately, I can only post a few photographs from my collection.

Do you have more Broadway pics?? I'm keen on seeing rare ones or not-so-common ones. Y'know. The ones that you can not find on Google Images.

I have ones from NYPL’s collection. I hope that they upload more for download. I recently downloaded some Gene Kelly and Lucille Ball Broadway images, but I think there are hidden ones on Google Images if you type in keywords like year, “Broadway”, production, theatre, etc. Something might come up. :)

Any film recommendations?

I don’t know. Claire has a few films but I suggest Up the River and Lazybones.
