HelpRe: Old Hollywood Insp. CAF (Part 2)
in reply to a message by Antique_Cherub
Born in 1914, Della Daniels 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 "Berlin, Baby!". Though her name at birth was Käthe Eileen, the studios decided to give her something more star-worthy.
The name they gave her was Della Daniels.

Soon after, Della Daniels 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, Leslie Gable, who she met on the set of her 1939 romance film, "Moonlight Love". 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, Della would give birth to a baby girl, much to the tabloids shock. Only three years later, Leslie 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 Della's supposed alcoholism. Despite it all, she would win full custody of her child.

____
Despite Dellie playing a younger version of her mother's character in "Choir Girl", she would eventually shun the fast-paced and, in her own words, "shallow" lifestyle of Hollywood. Dellie became a well-respected OB/GYN in New York, and married a pediatrician. After years of resentment between the two, Della and Dellie rekindled their relationship via the birth of Dellie's first child. Now, they maintain a friendship, and spend the holidays together.

In 1940 at age 31, Della Daniels would go on to win an Oscar for her portrayal of a heartbroken wife who combs the beach, looking for the husband she lost at sea in “Albatross”. In her speech she thanked her parents for teaching her how to work hard, her daughter, for bring light into her life, and, to the gasps of the audience, her ex-husband for teaching her how to take a punch. Later in an interview, she would recount how her first marriage was “fueled by liquor and jealousy”, and how it was her daughter who gave her strength to leave her abusive relationship.
In 1945, Della Daniels would go on to star in a romantic comedy “The Middleman”, opposite Italian heartthrob, Nico Rossi. After dating for only half a year, they would get married in his hometown of Venice, Italy. Paparazzi fought to get a snap of the bride’s dress, made entirely of Venetian lace, or her twenty-inch train. Her new husband was known for his charm, his accent, and the fact he could speak five languages: Italian, English, French, Spanish, and German. In 1947, Della Daniels would become a mother again to boy-girl twins. Della and Nico were together five years, before calling it quits due to “irreconcilable differences”. Luckily, the two remained good friends, and their children would spend their summers in Venice, with their father.

DD2/DS1: Silvia Benedetta Rossi // Dante Francesco Rossi
___
Unlike Dellie, Silvia would thrive in the spotlight. With her thick black hair, green eyes, and Patrician nose – all curtesy of her father – she would become something of a sex symbol after her film debut in 1966 at the tender age of nineteen. The film, “October Dawn”, is a cult classic made with an all-European cast and shot in English. She would go on to star in several more Giallo films, to model for Vogue, and to eventually marry the frontman of the Brit-rock band “The Deceivers”, Joey Morris. They are one of the longest enduring couples of Hollywood, and the parents of four children.

Dante would become a photojournalist for Time Magazine. He and his long-time girlfriend, BLANK, were planning on getting married in 1972 when he went missing in Cambodia, thought to be captured by communist guerillas. He was never seen, or heard from, again. Later, his mother would have him declared dead in absentia. It was one of the hardest times in BLANK’S life, and she would never speak of him publicly again. His girlfriend was only two months pregnant with their child, a little girl, when he disappeared.
