ZaAu Pitts was the inspiration for Olive Oyl's voice in Popeye cartoons.

You might be too young to be familiar with this actress. She was a wonderful comedienne and had a long career. Check out the ref. to "Greed" her 1st film (not a comedy).

Dellaruth: I recently Googled Zasu Pitts' name, and read all about her. I had heard of "Greed", because a friend of mine once stayed up all night watching it. Its director, whose name I won't try to spell right now, played the butler, in "Sunset Blvd."

Yup, that was von Stroheim. It's sort of fun to piece some of movie history together. "Sunset Blvd." is a campy classic - shades of Michael Jackson before he was born.

Dellaruth: I guess the shades of Michael Jackson you were referring to were about the woman's dead monkey. It took me a minute. I heard, or read, that "Sunset Blvd." was an early outing of Hollywood telling on itself.

Yes Teflon65, definitely the monkey or chimp, but also the effects of stardom on both the woman and Jackson. Both were talented & enjoyed huge fame, made a lot of money, both became less securely attached to reality, and both ended up as recluses supported by devoted staff. I just found some of the parallels kind of eerie. I think Hollywood was describing the dark side of celebrity status.

ZaSu is hardly obscure! She was a dramatic actress in silent films (star of von Stroheim's all-time classic 'Greed'). When talkies arrived, she was discovered to have an impeccable comedic ability and landed her own film short series (opposite Thelma Todd) produced by Hollywood's greatest comedy producer, Hal Roach. She worked in films all her adult life and made the transition to television, appearing on everything from Perry Mason, Jackie Gleason, Kraft Television Theatre and Gale Storm Show.
