unit731 Posted December 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Anita Page as an expample: Retirement "When her contract expired in 1933, she surprised Hollywood by announcing her retirement at the age of 23. She made one more movie, Hitch Hike to Heaven, in 1936, and then left the screen, virtually disappearing from Hollywood circles for 60 years. In a 2004 interview with author Scott Feinberg, she claimed that her refusal to meet demands for sexual favors by MGM head of production Irving Thalberg, supported by studio chief Louis B. Mayer, is what truly ended her career. She said that Mayer colluded with the other studio bosses to ban her and other uncooperative actresses from finding work." " She was also the last living attendee of the very first Academy Awards ceremony in 1929." [color:brown]Sex?
