Ursula Stanhope: Confused Jungle Queen

Irene Dunne and Myrna Loy in Thirteen Women (George Archainbaud, 1932)

Cast: Irene Dunne, Myrna Loy, Ricardo Cortez, Jill Esmond, Mary Duncan, Kay Johnson, Florence Eldridge, C. Henry Gordon, Peg Entwistle, Harriet Hagman, Edward Pawley, Blanche Friderici, Wally Albright. Screenplay: Bartlett Cormack, Samuel Ornitz, based on a novel by Tiffany Thayer. Cinematography: Leo Tover. Art direction: Carroll Clark. Film editing: Charles L. Kimball. Music: Max Steiner. 

Myrna Loy was born Myrna Williams in Helena, Montana, but you wouldn't know it from the way Hollywood often cast her at the start of her career in the '20s and '30s. Her role in Thirteen Women is probably the purest example of her work as the stereotypical sinister Eurasian. She plays Ursula Georgi, whom the cop played by Ricardo Cortez scorns as "Half-breed type. Half Hindu, half Javanese, I don't know." (Actually, Cortez himself knew something about crossing ethnic lines: He was born Jacob Krantz in New York, but Hollywood changed his name to capitalize on the vogue for Latin lovers like Rudolph Valentino and Ramon Novarro, and later claimed first that he was French and later that he was born in Vienna.) Ursula seeks revenge on the women who belonged to a sorority at a girls' college and blackballed her when she sought admission. She seeks out a phony seer known as Swami Yogadachi (C. Henry Gordon), whose horoscope readings the girls sought out, and hypnotizes him into sending them poison-pen readings that predict dire events. Two of the girls, the sisters June (Mary Duncan) and May Raskob (Harriet Hagman), have become trapeze artists, and June is so unnerved by the fake reading that she lets May fall to her death during a stunt and goes mad as a consequence. As others fall prey to Ursula's schemes, some of the survivors gather at the home of Laura Stanhope (Irene Dunne), who thinks that their hysteria over the deaths is absurd. Laura is the single mother of a son, Bobby (Wally Albright), who is one of those cloyingly cute movie children -- he calls her "Mumsy." But even Laura's calm vanishes when Ursula makes Bobby her next target. In addition to being stupidly racist, the movie is sheer hokum, a cockamamie blend of revenge thriller and police procedural, and it was not much of a success at the box office, even after RKO cut 14 minutes from it after test screenings -- one of the reasons why we learn the fates of only 10 of the 13 women. One of the performances cut to only four minutes was that of Peg Entwistle, who played Hazel, the one who kills her husband and goes to prison. Entwistle was reportedly so despondent about her movie career that she climbed to the top of one of the letters on the Hollywood sign (reports vary on whether it was the H or the D) and jumped to her death. As for Loy, this was her last outing as a Eurasian vamp: The Thin Man (W.S. Van Dyke, 1934) changed her screen image to that of the witty and soignée wife, most often of William Powell.

eden by cacharel being such a hit with the masses, getting me compliments at the office, yet my bf seems to be the only one who doesn't like it!!!!! shame!!!

so the way i envision this is that it's a hot, humid day and you're riding around in your all-terrain vehicle and ursula stanhope outfit, you break hard so the rubber heats up and you stop to smell the most exquisite wet white flowers in the background amid all the sleepy greenery

it's the rarest garden scent & really comes alive on a boiling, watery day!!!

'Thirteen Women' – Irene Dunne vs. Myrna Loy on Criterion Channel

Thirteen Women (1932) is a “Ten Little Indians”-style thriller set in a circle of sorority sisters whose planned reunion is marred with premonitions of death, murder, and suicide sent by a swami (C. Henry Gordon) whose astrological readings are all the rage in their society. Irene Dunne is Laura Stanhope, the good girl center of the sorority society, and Myrna Loy is Ursula Georgi, the exotic…

what if i don’t find you when i have landed? would you leave me here to die on your shores, stranded?

i think i know why the dog howls at the moon.

okay, so the dela scene in the iconic movie george of the jungle (1997) where george tells ursula “there’s nobody here to look stupid for” and then they dance around the campfire is the absolute height of romance, are we all in agreement??? yes, good.

Robert Taylor: The Last Matinee Idol

Robert Taylor: The Last Matinee Idol

This is from a movie magazine under the category “Nostalgia.”  The year is 1974, based on some obituaries in it.  I couldn’t find the name of  the magazine on any of the pages.  I don’t agree with the premise of the article.  Robert Taylor was a splendid actor, much more than a matinée idol.  There is the usual plethora of factual errors, most of which I left alone.

Thanks for tagging me @123passwort .

three ships: Butchlander has consumed my brain since binging The Boys in September. It made me return to ao3 and tumblr which I somehow left in 2019. What a fool I was. Also very fond of Negan x Rick Grimes and Batman x Joker.

first ever ship: George of the Jungle x Ursula Stanhope (super cute and wholesome)? Or maybe Claude Frollo x Esmeralda (super fucked up)?

last song: Michael Buble- Santa Baby (I think this still stands as the gayest Christmas song)

last movie: rewatched Far from the Madding Crowd (2015). As good as I remember from the movie theater.

currently reading: just started George Saunders’ recent short story anthology Liberation Day

currently watching: nothing, to be honest. I can’t make it past the first 1-2 episodes of most shows, idk if it’s a me or them problem.

currently consuming: Unseasoned, raw, white tofu. 🙈

currently craving: a new boyfriend, but without the horrible hassle of dating and meeting strangers lol

If you feel like playing along (don´t feel pressured) 😚, tagging @xieyaohuan @fantasticpants @blindmagdalena @mkqdot05 @masksonmasks
