Re: Old Hollywood Insp. CAF (Part 2)
In 1940 at age 31, Alta Rose 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 “The Seashell”. 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, Alta Rose would go on to star in a romantic comedy “The Middleman”, opposite Italian heartthrob Santo de Palma. 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, Rosa would become a mother again to boy-girl twins. She and Santo 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.DH: Santo Carmine de Palma
DW: Rosa Hildegard Rosenbaum "Alta Rose"DD2/DS1: Silvia Antonella de Palma & Dante Guglielmo de Palma___Unlike Roslie, Silvia would thrive in the spotlight. With her thick black hair, green eyes, and Patrician nose – all courtesy 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, starring the likes of Coccinelle, directed by a Russian, 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, Ciaran Morris. They are one of the longest enduring couples of Hollywood, and the parents of four children.DH: Ciaran Banks Morris

___Dante would become a photojournalist for Time Magazine. He and his long-time girlfriend, Judy Lopez, 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 Rosa’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.DS1: Dante Guglielmo de Palma
