Favorite Foods of Famous Stars 7


Here is the lovely Kathleen Burke's meal. Not that bad. Couldn't find what "toasted thinsies" are, but there things called "thinsies" which are kind of like Melba Toast. Maybe that's what they meant.


Finding info on Kathleen is next to impossible. She didn't have a very long career, and was in mainly B (or lower) films in the 1930s.


What is cool is that she entered her picture in a contest by Paramount for the lead in Island of Lost Souls and won!



She was fired from Paramount in 1936 and appeared in only a few more films. Her last role was 1938's Rascals

Unfortunately after 1940 (when she was doing radio in New York) there is no info about her until her death in 1980 of bronchitis



Check out Kathleen with Charles Laughton in the Island of the Lost Souls trailer. She is billed simply as "Panther Woman" :)
