Peggy Cummins

Peggy Cummins has risen from a tomboy in Dublin to the star of 20th Century Fox's *Forever Amber*, but her journey there is anything but typical—she's never had a dramatic lesson, yet she's carrying a $4,000,000 production through 103 days of grueling filming across 318 scenes. This 1946 biography traces how a spirited child actress clawed her way from boyish roles on the London stage through the Blitz itself, dodging bombs while performing in canteens, before finally landing a Hollywood contract and the role of a lifetime. Along the way, she's discovered nylons, American bananas, and the discipline of serious stardom, all while nursing bigger ambitions for Shakespeare on screen.

Why Radio Listeners Accept "Mr. District Attorney" as a Real Prosecutor
2 pp · non-fiction
Jay Jostyn

Jay Jostyn's compelling radio portrayal of Mr. District Attorney has become so convincing that listeners treat him as a real prosecutor—writing in with actual legal disputes, neighborhood conflicts, and personal problems they believe only he can solve. The story explores how the actor's realistic performance on his Wednesday night broadcast has blurred the line between entertainment and reality, with fans and even his own cast members seeking his advice on matters from property disputes to marital troubles. Through fan letters and real incidents, we see how powerfully Jostyn embodies the role both on air and in his public appearances, making the fictional character feel like a genuine advocate for justice.

Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt Jr., heir to one of America's greatest fortunes, turned his passion for horses and sport into a mission to modernize horse racing and keep it clean.
