Others considered her a delightful comedienne, but no great shakes as a dramatic actress. Thus it was both a personal and professional triumph when Ms. Rogers walked home with an Oscar for her ...

Jimmy Durante, Charles Butterworth, Lupe Velez, Polly Moran
Hollywood Party was planned as a lavish, star-studded MGM musical titled Hollywood Revue of 1933 .
