Does this nurse have a special healing power? Passionate Nurse is the story of
a little boy who is very sick and becomes hospitalized with little hope of
getting better. When nurse Matilda shows compassion on him, he finds her
attention very soothing and soon begins to improve. Does this all end well?
Come to the theater in late September to see Passionate Nurse featuring
rising star Anna.
She was working at a hospital in Washington D.C. to train for her new
film. Passionate Nurse to be released late this summer, Universal said.
Rumors have been circulating lately that there is a new film in the works
starring both the young starlet, Anna, and the seasoned actress, Joan. Director
John Ford has hinted that there have been negotiations and preliminary
readings with each of the actors in the parts they are being slated for in the
upcoming movie, Operation Haylift. The readings were running fairly smoothly at
the beginning. The ladies seemed to be
getting along quite well, but according
to an unnamed source, someone described
the part for Joan as an “aging” actress,
and the session quickly turned to a
shouting match. There were accusations
by Joan of the younger Anna not being
experienced enough to be believable in a
starring role. Then Anna mumbled back
that the aging actress role was no
stretch at all for Joan. From there, the
situation got out of control with both
ladies shouting unkind remarks at each other. At one point they got
close enough to start slapping and pulling hair. Joan yelled, “How
dare you hit an older woman with glasses?” Anna yelled back, “That’s
right - OLDER.” Finally Joan stormed out of the reading session.
Variety Story: She was seen at a Dapper party in Florida. Her manager said,
“She was not in hiding, but just needed time to work on her new role for the
film by Universal”. She was missing right after the reading with actress
Joan for the film Operation Haylift. Her manager said, “The reading had
nothing to do with hiding or a publicity stunt.”
Is Anna Banned? The last time she tried this Warner Brothers fired her and almost banned her from the studio. A
spokesperson from Warner Brothers said, “We cannot have someone who acts so childishly and dances and makes silly
faces at people in public. This is not the way we expect a possible Oscar winner to conduct herself.”
Director John Ford has denied any of these rumors and was quoted as saying that despite any minor
differences, both actresses are getting ready for the filming to begin as scheduled. “The atmosphere on
the set so far has been congenial and we expect that we will have no difficulty staying on schedule
with the movie,” Ford said.
Despite the statement from Director Ford, it
seems that now the Operation Haylift film has
been put in the scrap heap and will not be
filmed at all. MGM said “NO comment”. They said
the filming has been set to start soon on
Break-Through, a new WWII action film.
Instead, the actresses are being slated to star
in a more non-age specific war movie in which
the two will have parts that do not reference
anything about age. The new movie, Break-
Through, is set in Europe in World War II. Few
other details are available about the movie at
this time, but insiders say that so far the
actresses are congenial during the few times
they are in the same vicinity on or near the
movie set. Each actress is supposed to be portraying the wife of a young military man in the Army during
the invasions of WWII. According to inside sources, the women will be adding their own interpretations of
how the wives supported their men while they were gone to war. Imagine these two ladies baking cookies and
rolling bandages to send to their husbands. Cookies arrive in crumbs and the rolled bandages become
attachments to the men's uniforms rather than being used by the medics. And the letters from home are so
censored by the government that the men have to guess as to what the ladies are telling them. Sometimes
the results are far from true, but it offers the men some comic relief from the daily grind.
MOVIE STARS PARADE Can John Ford pull this one off? MOVIE STARS will be right on top of this
Hollywood story. We did get word from Universal that they plan to steal Anna from MGM. When we
asked Joan about the news she said that she has not heard anything about it but if Universal
signs Anna it will be a contract full of trouble. “Good luck with that!” she said. Joan has a 5
year contact with MGM and has no plans to leave. Joan’s secret husband for 5 years said “Why
spend the new CinemaScope Technicolor film on Anna? Black and White will be just fine for her”.

Photos acquired by our own photographer
Things got worse in front of the press after the reading. Variety photographer got the photos from actress Joan’s husband on an undisclosed deal. Her photographer husband was secretly married to her for years. Variety just got that story last year. Read it on our movie stars news. We think Joan’s husband would like to make actress Anna look as bad as he can. But we see actress Joan not being so nice herself. So who is misbehaving now? The hair pulling was one thing but the hitting started when actress Joan said that she was on the cover of Variety many times before Anna even started acting. At that point actress Anna started swinging at the elder actress. After the incident the press questioned both actresses. Each was reluctant to speak negatively about the other. They were back to being lady-like and dignified as is expected of a star. Keep checking Variety for all of the up to date Hollywood stories.

Opening in theaters this week. A Fuller Production and Directed by John Ford.
At over 200 years old, the Theatre Royal in Bath is one
of England’s most reputable theatres with a seating
capacity of over 900. The building itself
dates from 1720 but the premises only
became a theatre in 1805 and the venue
remains a wonderful example of
Georgian architecture. Here Hollywood
photographer Ray Fuller was taking pictures
of a new play opening after a long run of Shakespeare’s plays. He saw a
young lady off to the side that looked like Actress Anna. But could it be Anna?
She was to start shooting a new movie in Hollywood just days later, so why would
she be here in Bath, England? He got closer and started calling her name, “Anna,
Anna, Actress Anna.” At first he was thinking she might know his voice and not
turn around. After all, he is married to Anna’s rival, the Oscar winning Joan. But
then she turned his way. “Anna,” Ray said, “what are you doing in England? You
are to start shooting your movie this week.” The young lady’s eyes lit up and she
started to go backstage. “Anna!” he called. It was then that Ray started to ask
about the young lady and who she was. The play scheduled to open was called
“Hiding Out” and this young lady was to play the lead roll. Her name was Leigh
Thomas. They said she has been playing lead roles in England for 10 years. When
asked if she had been to the United States he was told she was born here in
northern England in a small town called Bradford.
Ray went to Bradford. He took the train north and started at the city hall of
records, but had no luck finding anyone named Leigh Thompson. He did, however,
find a record concerning a lady named Anna Thompson from the United States that
paid for a building. From there he got the name of the caretaker of the building
and then the name of a person that renovated the flat for Anna Thompson. Tom
Brand, the man that did the renovation, said he received cash and was told never
to tell anyone about who paid him. But he said the cost ran over the budget and he
asked the owner for the final payment. The person was Anna Thompson, the actress
from the United States. She said that would be all she would pay because, and he
quoted, “You said you could renovate it for that price and that price is all you
will get!” and “ I will put you out of business if you make waves.” But who is
Leigh
Thomas? Tom Brand, the builder, got
mad and
then found out that Leigh Thomas,
the girl
that the flat was for, was the twin
sister of
Anna Thompson, the actress from
America.
We are not sure why the sister was
living
here in a small town. Leigh would
look for
work but was not making enough
money to
feed herself so she took to acting.
Leigh had
changed her last name when she began
her acting
career to distance herself from any
connection
to Anna Thompson. Leigh rented the
flat out
and Tom Brand, the builder, asked her
for the final payment but Leigh said, “Take that up with my rich sister who never
wants to see me.” The last anyone knew was that Leigh left town and headed for
London.
Ray went back to Bath and started his investigation of this Leigh by talking to
people in the theatre. They did know Leigh looked like the actress Anna (but if
they said anything Leigh would just laugh about it and say, “Are you kidding? I
don’t look anything like her. They said Leigh never talked about being a twin to
Anna Thompson.
Leigh moved up fast on stage in England and was earning good money. But when
people would say, “You look just like that actress from the United States” she
would say, “That lady can’t act and I look nothing like her.” But at last Ray got
to talk to Leigh. “Do you know who I am, Leigh?” he asked. “Yes,” she said. We read
all about Hollywood and your gossip. He took her aside and
said, “I know who you really are. I have been to Bradford.” She
picked up a flower vase and threw it at Ray. “Boy, just like
your sister!” Ray said. “Get out!” Leigh said. Ray countered,
“We can make this a great story. I can see the headlines now!
Actress hides sister from public. Why?” Leigh said, “That would
make a great story but is there money in it for me? We could
make more of the story also, like, ‘So now, Anna, why did you
pay for the flat in a small town and leave your sister no
money? Why? Are you afraid she could be a better actress than
you? Why are you hiding her?”
Leigh said when Anna moved to Hollywood to be a star, she
moved out of the house and took their mother with her. “I was
so hurt. Anna said she would send for me but never did. Our
mother became not only Anna’s mother but is also Anna’s agent.
But when they both got busy and Anna got bigger parts they
forgot about me. Anna moved me to England, far from Hollywood.
We never spoke to each other again. I got to talk to my mother, but my mother
said it is best you stay in England, Leigh. She said she would come visit me.”
This reporter got hold of Actress Anna about her twin
sister but there has been no word from Anna about her
twin sister and no word from her publicist/agent mother
about any of this information.
We will continue to probe into this story and let the
public know when we find more details.
*** Actress Joan was asked to comment about this latest
development, but all she said was that it is not a
surprise considering who we are talking about.
