We hear of Lana Turner being discovered while she was sipping a soda in a Hollywood drug store bul even that Story is subject of a Good Deal of contradiction and doubt. Mary Pickford started her career in the movies quite by Accident. She was on the stage wanted to extra Money and Rickfort took a Street car Over to the studio in new York to investigate some Cash gaining possibilities. Since Mary Pickford s Clay we have been subjected to a barrage of publicity items to the effect that miss Dainty dimples so and so had not intended to get into the movies and took a trip to Hollywood just for the Heck of it.
