AMES TO PLEASE

I want to look sexy but stay mostly covered. On second thought, never mind.

Above, two photos of American actress Adrienne Ames, whose roles in such 1930s films as Slander House and Woman Wanted earned her a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, but whose emotional problems caused erratic behavior that made her tabloid fodder. Ames died of cancer in May 1947.
