	Biography for Marion Davies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Marion Davies, born Marion Cecilea Douras on January 3, 1897, was one of the great comedic actresses of the silent era and early 30's.
		Marion was not invited to the funeral or saw the body since it had been removed while she was still asleep.
		Davies' films there, including Page Miss Glory (1935), Hearts Divided, Cain and Mabel (both 1936), and Ever Since Eve (1937), were pleasant enough but not sufficiently strong to warrant continued investment in her career.

		Davies has been swallowed up by history as a no-talent Ziegfeld girl who had films built around her because she was attached to the most powerful press tycoon in the world.
		Davies is wonderful in it, as she parodies stars of the time, something that delighted guests at San Simeon.
		Davies’ chief virtue is her self-deprecating sense of mischief, but she creates a warm romantic chemistry with William Haines.

		For Cosmopolitan, Marion's films of note were mostly costume dramas, including "When Knighthood Was in Flower" (1922), in which she played Mary Tudor, and "Little Old New York" (1923), in which she appeared dressed as a boy through most of the film.
		Marion really came into her own when she was signed by M-G-M and began to make comedies, such as the film "Show People" (1928), a nostalgic vehicle which featured many of the stock players and stars of that famous studio in cameo appearances.

	Marion Davies
		Davies puts her gift for facial clowning to expressive use in lampooning Swanson, and Show People also proves a romp for director King Vidor, noted for such hard-hitting dramas as The Big Parade (1925) and The Crowd (1928).
		Davies' romantic relationship with publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst, famously satirized in Citizen Kane (1941), had led to the creation of Cosmopolitan Pictures, established by Hearst for the sole purpose of producing Davies vehicles.
		An irony of Davies' relationship with Hearst is that, while her natural gifts lay in the field of comedy, he wanted to see her playing frail, virginal heroines in the Mary Pickford mold.
