06/09/2009 ~

04/08/2009 ~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISS ANITA PAGE ~ 99 years ago today, baby Anita was born. You are fondly remembered and loved by many. You're missed very very much...

15/06/09~ ANITA PAGE FAKE AUTOGRAPHS

It's come to my attention that there are currently fake autographed photos of Anita circulating on Ebay. Please fellow fans, do not bid on them! Many of the photos are from this website which were edited by myself earlier this year. The seller is stating they were signed pre 2005. I would be saddened to hear of any Anita fans parting with their hard earned cash on a dud autograph...

14/06/09 ~ More clippings have been added to the scrapbook page, kindly sent in from Anita fan B.Rene. Thankyou B!!

                                                       HAPPY EASTER  GREETINGS!

17/04/09 ~ New clippings have been added to the Scrapbook, they are simply marvellous. I would like to say a big thankyou to B.Rene for your kindness in sharing your collection :) One of the clippings is shown below~

Above: With a Bang! They're returning - those toy locks that add such a quaint feminine frame for the face.

A new photograph of Anita with William Haines, Robert Montgomery and Trixie Fraganza from the Hollywood premiere scene in Buster Keaton's  'Free and Easy' can be found at the Filmography pages, here.

20/12/08 ~ 'I Have Lived'. This particular story of the film was first published by 'Screen Stories' on October 21st, 1933 in England. Seventy five years later, the story is again available to read for Anita fans on the filmography page! I've included some great shots of Anita from the film. Enjoy :)

Two photographs have also been added to 'Hitch Hike to Heaven', at the 1936 filmography page. These photos originate from the vintage pressbook. There were only two pieces of artwork for the film showing Anita. Since this film is considered 'lost' and very little info is available, these photos are a real treat!
