Description
A mutual film lover, Gary Lacher, invited me to visit Beverly Bayne with him in a Scottsdale, Arizona hospital, shortly before she died in 1982 at 88. "The Naked City" is the only talking film she had appeared in; making her first, of 158 silent pictures, in 1912 (for Essanay).
I remember her as being testy; and we were not to talk about her marriage to Francis X. Bushman (1882-1966). He was a real heart throb of the silent screen, who was the first "King of Hollywood," before that title was given to Clark Gable.
"There are eight million stories in the Naked City. This has been one of them;" narrator/producer Mark Hellinger at the end of the film, with a view of Times Square.

{Note: "The Naked City" was directed by the long lived Jules Dassin (1911-2008) who also directed the noirs "Thieves Highway" and the earlier seen "Night and the City."}
