I enjoy collecting all types of Old Movie memorabilia, but recently, I have acquired some lovely 4 inches by 5 inches candid snapshots of one my favorite actresses, Evelyn Venable! She has been a favorite of mine since I saw her in Death Takes a Holiday (1934), when I was around sixteen years old (she was the voice for the Blue Fairy in Disney's Pinocchio (1940), which I watched when I was a child). I run an Instagram account dedicated to her @evelyn_venable_. I have a lot of fun posting about her! She had such a wonderful and unique voice and she was a beautiful lady. She also was very intelligent and even was a College Professor later in life! I found out somewhat recently that she was a Vegetarian, which I am incredibly thrilled about since I am one myself. In my opinion, it seems to be more rare to have someone in her day be a Vegetarian. I definitely would have loved to have been friends with her. Above are three candid snapshots of Miss Venable I thought that I would share!
