April and I talk Betty Grable Stage mother Lillian. Lillian had Betty enrolled in dance school at three. She was in talent shows, and God forbid she came in second. Lillian was one pushy broad that wanted stardom for herself (as most stage moms do) but pushed Betty to be a star.
Thanks so much to April for doing this series with me.

Thanks to Deborah for making the suggestion. I have to get the link to Deborahs book. It's not classic Hollywood, but it is a good read.
Mostly thanks to the listeners. You are the best!!
Much love,
Grace
