SOME MORE RECENTLY UNEARTHED BITS & PIECES ABOUT CROTON NOTABLES: PETER STRAUSS, GLORIA SWANSON, LENORE ULRIC and OSCAR LEVANT

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton -- our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship -- in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

SOME MORE RECENTLY UNEARTHED BITS & PIECES ABOUT CROTON NOTABLES: PETER STRAUSS, GLORIA SWANSON, LENORE ULRIC and OSCAR LEVANT...as always click on the photos and links.

First up, from Croton's own Peter Strauss and Croton Shakespeare festival fame, a mini-review of 1983's SPACEHUNTER, ADVENTURES IN THE FORBIDDEN ZONE.  Not the best film but then again, quite a few films from the 80's often lacked a certain something....

Next, Croton's own Gloria Swanson---sings! From 1929 and the advent of the talkies....and her film THE TRESPASSER.

For those who don't know, Swanson lived in the village for a number of years. You can see exterior shots of her Mt. Airy home here. 

SWANSON ALSO DIED ON THIS DATE IN 1983 https://everythingcroton.blogspot.com/2017/04/remembering-crotons-gloria-swanson.html

Next, Croton's Lenore Ulric in the 1929 production of Frozen Justice, another little mini synopsis. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW: Frozen Justice is a 1929 American partially sound drama film with a synchronized soundtrack featuring music and sound effects directed by Allan Dwan. The film was set in Nome, Alaska during the Klondike Gold Rush in 1898 and 1899 and is presumed lost. You can read more about it here.

And finally, Croton notable OSCAR LEVANT.  One of the elves stumbled upon this blog called Great but Forgotten A look at movies, books, TV, comics, music, and other things that deserve to be less obscure.
