DR EDISAURUS thanks for sharing your Richard Sherman story and posting the pic....great stuff.
Yes, Frances was so pretty in RHYTHM ON THE RANGE....and she certainly attracted the public's attention.
She and Bing were friends for the rest of her life, he gave her a beautiful diamond necklace at the end of filming ROR which she kept for years. Bing's only daughter has the middle name....Frances. And his young wife Kathryn appeared on Frances' television show when Kathryn came through Indy playing Peter Pan.
Late in her life, Bing also set Frances up to be the television spokeswoman for an Orange Juice company...he was the spokesMAN, but Frances decided to express herself a bit too harshly in the final meeting with the company executives.....and lost the $50,000 endorsement she could have really used.....
