  1. Kate made a movie back in the 1930s. I saw it years ago. It was pure hokum.

  2. isn't this photo something? it appears as if a bird smacked into her head and everyone around her said, "ooo, that looks great kate, take a picture!"

    i recall some award show wheeling her out from behind a curtain, an old, shrunken kate and how sad it was.

  3. Kate was in Bellrose Ny, part of the borrough of Queens.
    She came into Bellrose bowling alley in1978. Don't ask me why. My Dad and many others went to say hello. Hence I have her autograph.
    Nice and looked the same as she did long ago.
