In celebration of the release of my new book, Mae Murray:The Girl with the Bee-Stung Lips , I am sharing a 1960 radio interview Murray gave when her first biography, The Self-Enchanted, was released. Follow this link to my blog. http://michaelgankerich.wordpress.com/2012/12/02/mae-murrays-1960-radio...

Some have been asking me about my new book on Mae Murray. Here's a q&a I did for a film buff in Atlanta.

Horrors! Sorry everyone. It's not from The Invisible Man. I will try again. I've tried loading it as an attachment.

Can anyone identify this actor and actress? I have had this still for decades and have been unable to identify them or the film. Thanks so much! Michael

Thanks for responses about Lucille Ricksen films. I wrote about Lucille (with her family's help) in my new book, Dangerous Curves atop Hollywood Heels. They are asking me about her available films.

I had intended for Mae Murray to be included, but after I received cooperation from her son and uncovered details about her early life, I decided I had too much material for only one chapter. She gets a whole book! So, is it 14 girls, or 15? I have to admit, I've heard o...

Hello everyone. I want to let you know that my new book, Dangerous Curves Atop Hollywood Heels: The Lives, Careers, and Misfortunes of 14 Hard-Luck Girls of the Silent Screen , is now available.

I'm deep into my research for a biography I'm writing on Mae Murray. I'm trying to sort out her pregnancy and the birth of her son with David Mdivani. I've heard that she was obviously pregnant during her work on Valencia, which was filmed in the fall of 1926. Her son, however, has information that ...

Thanks for your reply. My e-mail is mgankerich@charter.net. Thanks for your willingness to post something on FTT and the Rudy Society. Both great ideas. I am working with Murray's son on some things. Jane Ardmore died in 2000, I think. Her daughter is also decreased. I have identified several who li...

Hello all you wonderful people out there in the dark -- As some of you know, I am writing a biography of Mae Murray. Does anyone out there know of people still living who knew her in Hollywood in her later years? Anyone who lived in the same apartment house? Do you know anyone who worked at the Moti...

Thank you, everyone, for your replies. My immediate focus is locating details about Mae's early life. My eyes are crossed from looking at census records, birth records, etc. If you have also tried to track Mae M through these records, please let me know. I'd like to touch base with you. Thanks, agai...
