Gertrude Lawrence and Douglas Fairbanks in a vintage ad. This is the ad that Julie Andrews and Robert Reed probably made an ode to in ‘Star!’ in their photoshoot scene with the cherry cola.

Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. and Danielle Darrieux - publicity portrait from the 1938 film The Rage of Paris This late-30s gem is an engaging spoof that features the U.S. film debut of the French acting beauty Daniell Darrieux. She appears as a French model who’s come to New York to find a job. Things go a little awry in her first interview when she applies for a nude modeling position and gets the addresses mixed up. When she shows up at the wrong place and starts disrobing, the man at the desk (Douglas Fairbanks) thinks she’s a trouble-causing hussy and orders her to leave. Things look up for the frustrated model when she teams up with an ex-actress and a clever waiter who together convince her that as her agents, they’ll be able to make things happen for her. And they do.

"Ah, Senator, I would love to chat some more, but I need to go save Maureen O'Hara. So long!"

Who? Senator Warren Austin & DFJ chatting at the United Nations Security Council Session

Where? Paris, France -- Yup, these are the kinds of important people DFJ hangs around with in amazing places like Paris. And do note - DFJ and the Senator are chatting.
