	She (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Helen Gahagan is a rather unique name so I looked it up in Ephraim Kats "The Film Encyclopedia"; turns out among other things She was married to Melvyn Douglas, was the author of "The Eleanor Roosevelt we Remember" (1963).
		The cruel She Who Must Be Obeyed (Helen Gahagan) is a beautiful but icy queen driven ruthless by her centuries of loneliness.
		Though the dialogue is often flat and uninspired and the performances by Scott and Gahagan rather arch (costars Nigel Bruce and Helen Mack fare much better), this grand adventure concludes with a rousing climax full of impressive set pieces and breathtaking effects.

		Helen’s paternal great-great-grandfather, William Gahagan, was of Irish descent and one of the founders of Dayton, Ohio.

		When Gahagan abandoned her European singing tour in 1930 to see her father, who had advanced cancer, she returned to the theatre to star in Tonight or Never, where she portrayed an opera singer and thus had a chance to display both her acting and singing abilities.

		Douglas is a Communist?" The fact that four years earlier voters in Representative Jerry Voorhis's district had received the same message about him during Nixon's successful campaign to unseat him was apparently just one of those amazing coincidences.
		Remember, the campaign was so stressful for Nixon that it caused memory lapses: Occasionally he would inadvertently refer to his opponent as Helen Hesselberg, using the original last name of her husband, movie and stage star Melvyn Douglas.
		Helen Gahagan was a Broadway star at age 22, moved into opera (here her late start limited her success), starred in the film of H. Rider Haggard's novel She (an experience that quickly disillusioned her with Hollywood), raised two children, and turned to politics, winning a congressional seat in 1944.
