I thought Anita Page, who passed away last Saturday morning at age 98, deserved a post and a remembrance here.  She’s being remembered as the last of the adult silent film stars, though she was really more of a pre-code starlet in my mind.  Page co-starred with Warren William in two favorites, Under 18 (1931) and as the, er, loosely moralled Jenny LeGrande in possibly the best of all pre-codes, Skyscraper Souls (1932).
