HelpOld Hollywood Insp. CAF (Part 1)
I thought I would combine my two greatest loves -- writing and names -- to create an Old Hollywood inspired CAF! I hope you all enjoy this :)
___
Born in 1914, BLANK was the oldest child of a German immigrant family in Pennsylvania. Although she had yet to dye her hair platinum, she was still striking and had always possessed that doe-like gaze, which later become her trademark. Before fame she worked at textile factory, using her meager paycheck to support her parents. It was on a trip to New York to visit her aunt that she was spotted, soon finding work as a model, and eventually, an actress. Her first big role came in 1935, when she starred in (YOUR CHOICE: "Berlin, Baby!", "The Cigarette Girl", "Désirée Clary", or "The Unloving Heart"). Though her name at birth was BLANK, the studios decided to give her something more star-worthy.
The name they gave her was: Maly, Jo, Yvonne, Bobbie, Kay, Della, Fay, Nelda, Alta, Wilda. (Her new last name starts with the same letter as her new first name and is one to two syllables long.)
Her Family:
LN: Huber, Rosenbaum, Wurtzbach, Schön, Jentsch, Köhler
DH: Ernst, Carl, Heinrich, Hermann, Hugo, Franz, Paul, Adolf, August, Johannes
DW: Ida, Clara, Berta, Luise, Gertrud, Anna, Marie, Margarete, Elisabeth, Minna
DD: (Her) Käthe, Hertha, Annemarie, Martha, Hildegard, Nancy, Rosa, Maxine, Mable, Eileen
DD: Lieselotte, Elfriede, Maria, Ursula, Ingeborg, Lorene, Anita, Goldie, Leola, Elnora
DS: Helmut, Heinz, Erich, Rolf, Curt, Loren, Roosevelt, Garland, Monroe, Emery
DD/DS: Christa, Waltraud, Renate, Hannelore, Eva, Erika, Jean, Norma, Phyllis, June // Hans, Wolfgang, Jürgen, Klaus, Peter, Gene, Vernon, Clifford, Roger, Glenn
___
Soon after, BLANK became a household name, starring box-office hit after hit. One of her most memorable roles would be as the seductive Madame Veruschka in the classic noir film ("And Only to Tame", "The Faded Rose", "A Walk Down Memory Lane", or "As the Night Fades"). In 1940 at age twenty-six, she was married to fellow actor, BLANK, who she met on the set of her 1939 romance film, (YOUR CHOICE). He was eight years her senior. They were the perfect Hollywood couple, her with her perfect blonde curls and willowy figure, him with his dark hair, blue eyes, and smoky baritone. Just seven months after their marriage, BLANK would give birth to a baby girl, much to the tabloids shock. Only three years later, BLANK would file for a divorce. The court proceedings were splashed across the news, and filled with every sordid detail, from the mistresses to the drugs and BLANK's supposed alcoholism. Despite it all, she would win full custody of her child.
(LN: Surname of a famous actor from the 50s)
DH: Van, Howard, Roy, Jesse, Claude, Leslie, Curtis, Tony, Frank, Kelly
DW: (Her)
DD1: (First name is a combo-smoosh of her parents' names, middle honors her grandmother)
____
Despite DD1 playing a younger version of her mother's character in ("The Witch's Kiss", "Choir Girl", "Infamous", or "Betty"), she would eventually shun the fast-paced and, in her own words, "shallow" lifestyle of Hollywood. DD1 became a well-respected OB/GYN in New York, and married a pediatrician. After years of resentment between the two, BLANK and DD1 rekindled their relationship via the birth of DD1's first child. Now, they maintain a friendship, and spend the holidays together.
(LN: Aaronson, Geller, Horowitz, Goldschimdt, Lieberman, Margolis)
DH: Noam, Jacob, David, Uri, Lavie, Aharon, Baruch, Efrayim, Gad, Moshe
DD1:
DS: Reuven, Refael, Shabtai, Dov, Yaakov, Yefet, Ariel, Omer, Eitan, Joseph
DD: Tamar, Avigayil, Batya, Shira, Noa, Esther, Chava, Dobah, Malka, Rivkah
DD: Shoshannah, Ruth, Yocheved, Yael, Miriam, Chaya, Devorah, Aviva, Hila, Nechama

In part two, we'll learn about BLANK's other children and marriages, plus the rest of her glamorous films and scandalous choices. Hope you enjoyed!
