	WAMPAS Baby Stars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The WAMPAS Baby Stars was a promotional campaign sponsored by the Western Association of Motion Picture Advertisers in the United States, which honored thirteen young women each year who they believed to be on the threshold of movie stardom.
		The awards were not given in 1930 and 1933 and ended after 1934 due to objections from the movie studios because of its independence.
		The Wampas Baby Stars: A Biographical Dictionary, 1922-1934 (ISBN 0786407565) includes biographies of every actress selected, including lists of films in which she appeared.

	Jean Arthur - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Whatever self-confidence she may have built up was dashed when she was removed from the starring role of “Temple of Venus” (1923) after a few days of shooting.
		She signed to star in the 1946 Broadway play ‘Born Yesterday’ – only to succumb to a debilitating case of stage fright, forcing the producers to replace her at virtually the last moment with Judy Holliday.
		Retiring for good in 1972, she retreated to her ocean home in Carmel, California, steadfastly refusing interviews until her resistance was broken down by the author of a book on her one-time director Frank Capra (she once famously said that she’d rather have her throat slit than do an interview).

	Wampas Baby Stars
		Wampas stood for the Western Association Of Motion Picture Advertisers, and every year from 1922 to 1934 this association gave awards to female starlets (known as "Wampas Baby Stars") who showed promise.
		The 1925 Wampas Baby Stars are Betty Arlen, Violet Avon, Olive Borden, June Marlowe, Ena Gregory, Anne Cornwall, Madeline Hurlock, Natalie Joyce, Joan Meredith, Evelyn Pierce, Dorothy Revier, Duane Thompson, and Lola Todd.
		Eleven of the thirteen Wampas Stars of 1925.

	Gloria Stuart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		She was also selected as one of the thirteen WAMPAS Baby Stars of 1932.
		As a glamorous blonde, she was quickly cast in a variety of films and became a favourite of director James Whale, appearing in his films The Old Dark House (1932), The Invisible Man (1933) and The Kiss Before the Mirror (1933).
		By the end of the decade she had starred in more than forty films, including Roman Scandals (1933) and Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm (1938) but had not become a major star.

	Learn Moore
		Also, as a big-name star, she would be called upon to give all sorts of interviews and help with film publicity.
		Colleen was the eighth star to put her handprints in cement at the Chinese Theatre, preceeded only by Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford, Norma Talmadge, Norma Shearer, Harold Lloyd, William S. Hart and Tom Mix (and Toby!).
		Clara was also achieving fame of her own by this point (she was a Wampas Baby Star in 1924) so claims that she needed the close ups aren't really valid.
