@mabelstephen Could you please explain what happened? I'm interested in knowing what this woman did, what she got wrong, and is there a better book out there? I love Mabel Normand and would like more real information on her.

@gablefan01 I am not sure what your point is but the Hays office was established in 1923.

Even before the Internet, I knew who Mabel Normand was. How can you interview someone about Mabel without doing a little research on who she was? The film clip was horrid quality, but that was pretty common back then. And the Hays Office wasn't even established yet! What an ass.
