I originally came upon "Classic Images" at my local Borders. I'd suggest that anyone who's interested and has a good-size local bookstore or newstand call and ask. I believe individual issues can be purchased through the magazine's site (link above).<br />Thanks Dawn, Gypsy and Rick for your interest in Edna.

I find it truly inspiring how your original article lead to an increased awareness of her film work (with feedback from all over the globe). I also find it touching that she has discovered something close to her heart that she regularly shares with others. Congratulation on the encouraging feedback and tremendous success regarding your writing.

I often think that those who were not stars but had key or notable roles in Hitchcock's great films have been blessed with "filmmortality"...Robert Walker and Marion Lorne in STRANGERS ON A TRAIN, Jessie Royce Landis in TCaT and NxNW, Wendell Corey in REAR WINDOW, Barbara Bel Geddes in VERTIGO...and so many others. Joseph Cotten might have been most fortunate of all - he was never a top star but had leading or co-starring roles in three films considered great masterworks - CITIZEN KANE, STRANGERS ON A TRAIN and THE THIRD MAN.<br /><br />(as you know, I love bit part actors...)The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-59227608365181198602011-01-31T10:54:18.382-08:002011-01-31T10:54:18.382-08:00Isn't it interesting that she only made about ...Isn't it interesting that she only made about seven movies and is uncredited in five of them, yet she is remembered and now sought after. Good work, Eve. <br /><br />We had a similar occurance with Virginia Karns who played Mother Goose in the 1934 Laurel and Hardy movie, Babes in Toyland. She only made three movies, but we found her living in New Jersey, and she enjoyed the renewed interest in her short career. She was an honored guest at our convention in 1984.<br /><br />I guess you also write about Bit Actors!Allen Hefnerhttp://bitactors.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-85825705981970122662011-01-31T08:25:30.988-08:002011-01-31T08:25:30.988-08:00Hi Ginger - Edna made about a half-dozen films and...Hi Ginger - Edna made about a half-dozen films and I've seen two, SHADOW OF A DOUBT and THE BELLS OF ST.
