HelpRe: Old Hollywood Insp. CAF (Part 1)
in reply to a message by Antique_Cherub
Born in 1914, WILDA WHITE 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 "Désirée Clary". Though her name at birth was Käthe Eileen Wurtzbach, the studios decided to give her something more star-worthy.
Her Family:
DH: Ernst Adolf Wurtzbach
DW: Ida Elisabeth Huber
DD: (Her) Käthe Eileen Wurtzbach
DD: Elfriede "Elfie" Goldie Wurtzbach
DS: Rolf Garland Wurtzbach
DD/DS: Renate Jean Wurtzbach // Klaus Vernon Wurtzbach
___
Soon after, WILDA WHITE 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". In 1940 at age twenty-six, she was married to fellow actor, VAN GABLE, who she met on the set of her 1939 romance film, "Madame Rogue". 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, WILDA would give birth to a baby girl, much to the tabloids shock. Only three years later, WILDA 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 WILDA's supposed alcoholism. Despite it all, she would win full custody of her child.
DH: Van Howard Gable
DW: Wilda White
DD1: Vilda Ida Gable

Despite VILDA GABLE playing a younger version of her mother's character in "Infamous", 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, WILDA and VILDA rekindled their relationship via the birth of VILDA's first child. Now, they maintain a friendship, and spend the holidays together.
