Assuming that, like me, all Google/you tube offerings at HQ are “server stopped responding” just now … this might be Ggl YT itself or else is an HQ prob, an internal gremlin. Whatever, expect disruptions today, patient patrons.

Meanwhile, here’s something which was on X:

Mary Miles Minter (born Juliet Reilly; April 25, 1902^[1][2]– August 4, 1984) was an American actress, and one of the leading ladies who established the early Hollywood star system.^[3] She appeared in 53 silent films from 1912 to 1923.

In 1922, Minter was involved in a scandal surrounding the murder of director William Desmond Taylor, for whom she professed her love. Gossip implicated her mother, former actress Charlotte Shelby, as the murderer, and as a result Minter’s reputation was tarnished. She gave up her film career in 1923.^[4]

JH: Tales such as that of Juliet Reilly here abounded in the tween wars period and tragedies also abounded, esp. for young women … a most interesting period.
