Occupying only 1.6 square miles in central New Jersey, the town of Milltown has seen the surrounding area change from rolling farmland into a home from industry, commerce, business and suburban developments. In one hundred years, the town has shared the changes that have come to Middlesex County and yet still maintained that old-fashioned, small-town feeling. Those who have spent their lives here and those who have come to adopt Milltown as their own will find in this book snapshots which together take us on a journey through Milltown's history, from the days of Bergen's Mill and trolley cars, through the arrival and departure of the Michelin Tire Company, and all the way up to the 1960s. The human side of town's rich and diverse history is also well documented, with images of the famous “Milltown tranquilizers,” the diner, and the old swimming hole.
The lives and careers of Warner Brothers' screen legends Joan Blondell, Nancy Coleman, Bette Davis, Olivia de Havilland, Glenda Farrell, Kay Francis, Ruby Keeler, Andrea King, Priscilla Lane, Joan Leslie, Ida Lupino, Eleanor Parker, Ann Sheridan, Alexis Smith, and Jane Wyman are the topic of this book. Some achieved great success in film and other areas of show business, but others failed to get the breaks or became victims of the studio system's sometimes unpleasant brand of politics. The personal and professional obstacles that each actress encountered are here set out in detail, often with comments from the actresses who granted interviews with the author and from those people who knew them best on and off the movie set. A filmography is included for each of the fifteen.
This is not a novel. It is a history of an American family. The story begins in Upper Wallop, Hampshire, England, continues to New England in the early 1600's, and finally to the frontier after the Louisiana Purchase, to a region that had once been Spanish West Florida, and which to this day is referred to as the Florida Parishes of Louisiana. Interestingly, in the 300 plus years over which this migration occurred, they only lived in four places: Newbury, Massachusetts, Chester, New Hampshire, Kentwood, Louisiana, and Fluker, Louisiana. The members of the Kent family that eventually settled in Fluker were pioneers, instrumental in founding towns, creating businesses and jobs, and were dominant participants in the development of the social and economic fabric of the local society. These Fluker Kents were a big family, and lived life to the fullest, and deserve to be remembered. This book exists so that their descendants might know who these people were, and how they lived.
