Bessie Love in conversation with Irene Slade
Bessie Love decided she wanted a job during the summer vacation from high school. With no dramatic training she got an interview with Hollywood's leading film director, D. W. Griffith. He gave her a job and she made her first screen appearance in Intolerance. In a short time she had become a star of silent films and later of the talkies, and her name will always be associated with The Broadway Melody. For the last twenty years or so she has lived and worked in England.
In this conversation she looks forward to the future with the gusto with which she recalls the past achievements of a truly remarkable career.
Recorded broadcast of Dec. 29. 1961 followed by an interlude
