PEGGY HOPKINS JOYCE : SHE PURSUED ACTING WHILE SHE PURSUED MEN

IMDB : PEGGY HOPKINS JOYCE : MOVIE ROLES 

Here's a YouTube video featuring the 1933 trailer for the movie International House, which also starred the comedian W.C. Fields.  Peggy Hopkins Joyce didn't act in many movies, despite her said career orientation. But note that other actresses played Peggy!  And she was the January 1926 Winner of the Photoplay Award (sponsored by Photoplay Magazine, a fan magazine) for the Best performance - of the month - for her work in the movie The Skyrocket. This was a silent film, as were the 'shorts' she appeared in as early as 1916.

GLORIA SWANSON IN THE 1923 SILENT FILM "ZAZA"

Gloria Swanson was one of those few actors who was able to go from the acting - later considered exaggerated expressions to convey the emotions and story - necessary in silent films to the talkies, both speaking and singing as well as acting more naturally. Her career was roaring in the 1920's, the era of the flapper, and the New Woman. She married six times and had three children as well as being engaged in political and humanitarian causes in which she used her fame.


From 1914 to 1974 she appeared in films and on some television programs.

Gloria Swanson was the top movie actress in the United States for many years, unless you considered Mary Pickford. Pickford was not successful past the silent film era.

ANNABELS PRIVATE MEMBERS CLUB : PRIVACY AND DISCRETION


The club currently features elaborate and beautiful holiday decorations for Halloween, Christmas, and such.

To quote the poster of this YouTube video, "It was, also, a place of romance where invitations meant that courtships had moved to a more serious level and numerous marriage proposals resulted. It summed up, quite simply, the most elegant nightclub and private dining anywhere in the world."

GROOMING : WHAT IS BEING GROOMED? YOU'RE NOT BEING DATED, YOU'RE BEING HUNTED

 

Virginia Guiffre is the most famous woman to speak out about her history of being sex trafficked and how it badly effected her emotions and thinking and changed her life. She struggled so valiantly. However, there are many other women, and some men, who have, both against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, and against other people, spoken out. You can find many of them on YouTube videos. Though some were abducted, many of them were groomed slowly but surely, only to find themselves living in horror.  

What is grooming? Don't feel bad if you've never heard that term because some people who have been groomed and sex trafficked didn't know those terms! It is a process, which can happen slowly or suddenly, in which a person who is an opportunist and user, a predator, and intends to sex traffic or prostitute you tries to make you comfortable with the idea of having sex with him and then strangers, perhaps first by pretending to love you, perhaps starting with being sexual with you in an OK way - but possibly by even assaulting you or abusing you, and/or buys you things but them expects you to 'pay back' by having sex with other people.

A pedophile is a person who is interested in having sex with others who are under the legal age, sometimes too young to even physically safely have sex. (Having your period is not evidence that your body is ready for sex or pregnancy or giving birth.)

If you would like to hear real women testify as to how it is they were groomed and sex trafficked I strongly suggest the YouTube station called SOFT WHITE UNDERBELLY.

YOUTUBE STATION : SOFT WHITE UNDERBELLY Uncensored videos.  Look for Kat and Karla. About being brain washed - breaking you down and turning you into what they want you to be. (A warning on these adult videos, as they may upset you terribly.)

So, I thought about it. Had anyone ever tried to groom me when I was a teen?

I think so, though it didn't go far. 

This was a man who was in his late thirties and married. He mentioned one of my friends was their babysitter and that she was his wife's "best friend." He told me about a man friend of his who was having sex with a young woman about my age. I guess he was trying to get a reaction. What did I think about that? I don't recall having an opinion to express. He mentioned being attracted to other girls and that he had kissed one of them - a girl from my school. One day he threw himself on top of me and shoved his tongue into my mouth. It was not sexy and didn't feel good. I also didn't feel afraid. Other people could have walked in at any minute, so as an adult woman I wonder why he would take such a risk. I didn't go home and tell my mother. I should have but I have to wonder what, if anything, she would have done about it. I wasn't complimented. I didn't seek him out. I have to say that I was so naive at the time, I wasn't suspicious. I didn't understand what was going on.

The thing that bothered me most at the time was that he seemed extremely interested in who among my friends was having sex. Some were, with their boyfriends who were age appropriate.

AN INTERVIEW OF AMY WALLACE BY KATIE COURIC : AMY WAS VIRGINIA GUIFFE'S GHOST WRITER and SHE KNOWS THE NAMES

Two items on this post: First some good reportage via the BBC: Includes a Timeline of Virginia Guiffre and the then Prince Andrew, who has been stripped of his titles and sent away.

BBC NEWS: VIRGINIA GIUFFEE THOUGHT SHE MIGHT DIE A SEX SLAVE 
Article from 20 October 2025 by Noor Nanji and George Wright.

Excerpt: Ms Giuffre writes that she "didn't feel so great", adding: "Soon, Epstein would give me $15,000 for servicing the man the tabloids called 'Randy Andy' - a lot of money."

Ms Giuffre says she had sex for a second time with the prince around a month later at Epstein's townhouse in New York.

She says the third occasion was on Epstein's island as part of what Ms Giuffre called "an orgy".

She writes that she said in a sworn declaration in 2015 that she was "around 18".

"Epstein, Andy, and approximately eight other young girls and I had sex together," she says.

"The other girls all appeared to be under the age of 18 and didn't really speak English.

"Epstein laughed about how they couldn't really communicate, saying they are the easiest girls to get along with."

 


This is one of many videos I listened to. I admire Amy Wallace for continuing to promote Virginia Guiffre's book, which she was the ghost writer on. 

Ghislaine Maxwell is called out as having not just solicited girls for Jeffrey Epstein or his secretary or receptionist, but also physically sexually abusive of Virginia.

SARAH BERNHARDT -1917 - MOTHERS OF FRANCE - MERES FRANCAISES : FILM SUPPORTING FRANCE IN WORLD WAR I

Born in 1844, by 1917 Sarah Bernhardt was in her sixties... She was a stage actress who made it into silent films and some consider her to be the best actress of all time. I can't make that judgement but I see Sarah as someone whose notoriety propelled her to fame also. 


She had a leg amputated but insisted on being carried to the front lines!

VERDI'S OPERA LA TRAVIATA (THE FALLEN WOMAN) IS A TRAGEDY AND THE MOST PERFORMED OPERA IN THE WORLD


Royal Ballet and Opera - United Kingdom, YouTube station, posted this video.
Excerpt:  Richard Eyre;s stunning naturalistic productions contrasts the superficial glamour of the 19th century Parisian high life with intimate scenes for Violetta with Alfredo and Giorgio Germont, culminating in the heart-breaking final act  Verdi's sublime score contains some of his most inspired arias and duets, including Violetta's introspecive 'Ah forse'e lui and hedonistic 'Sempre libera' Violetta and Germont's poignant Act II encounter and Alfredo and Violetta's 'Parigi, o cara', in which they dream of a happy future.

Missy here! 

True love or a crush that would always be unrequited because the one fantasized about has died? Alexandre Dumas The Younger's book inspired by his year long romance with Maria Duplessis spawned plays and this opera, as well as other productions into the present time.

RECLAIMING WITH MONICA LEWINSKY PODCAST - THE ACTIVIST INTERVIEWS

 APPLE PODCASTS MONICA LEWINSKY  (Also available on YouTube...)

RECLAIMING with MONICA LEWINSKY PODCAST

Excerpt:  If you're interested in unexpected conversations that go uncharted places, are remotely self-aware and like to laugh, then please join me as I continue to find my public voice on Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky. (That's me.) I will have honest, wide-ranging interviews with all kinds of people - recognizable names, regular folks, experts and friends - about what it means to reclaim what's been lost or taken in the broadest sense.  Every week, I'll draw from my own unique experiences (like say, surviving a global scandal at 24 years old), and delve into the personal and often messy ways people find their way back to themselves.  And because I love a good tangent, we'll probably also touch on other stuff, too.

AMERICAN CRIME STORY - IMPEACHEMENT : MONICA LEWINSKY IS A REAL PERSON AND NOT A PUNCHLINE




Monica Lewinsky worked on this miniseries as a producer. 


Excerpt: Instead of a raunchy temptress, Impeachment presents Lewinsky as a lovestruck young woman, desperate to please the married man she adores. And as this relatively quaint story is pulled deeper and deeper into the politics of D.C., it devolves into pure horror. You’ll leave Impeachment feeling many things: anger at Linda Tripp, disgust toward Bill Clinton, revulsion about the cutthroat media landscape and our current team mentality of politics. But you’ll also leave it understanding that Monica Lewinsky was a real person rather than a punchline.

Missy here!  Have you been betrayed by a friend you confided in?  How, if at all, did this effect your ability to trust?  Or have you been the person who betrayed a friend? Why? Leave me a comment!

MONICA LEWINSKY SYMBOL OF STRENGTH by the band DOUBLE VICTOR

https://doublevictor.bandcamp.com/track/monica-lewinsky-symbol-of-strength

In researching Monica, I learned that there's a punk rock song written and recorded about her - or perhaps I should say for her. I'm linking to the YouTube video of the song (with a warning that there's a swear word used) so you can check that out.

LILLIE LANGTRY "THE JERSEY LILY" SINGS ON THE MARGATE BOAT 1903

I searched for the silent film that Lillie Langtry made - just one - and apparently a copy does not exist.  However, the model -actress-singer did record some songs and this YouTube video was a find. It also has many a photograph.  She was a Pear's Soap model and is credited as the first celebrity to endorse a product during her early days.

The Margate Boat was recorded in 1903. (She was in midlife.)

The one film she appeared in, in 1913, was titled "His Neighbor's Wife." (She was nearing her senior years.)

Born in 1853, the woman born Emilie Charlotte de Bathe, known to the world as an model, actress, singer - and Royal Mistress, died in 1929 in Monaco, age 75.

FLORODORA GIRLS : MANY MARRIED MILLIONAIRES


According to the book, The Curse of Beauty by James Bone, which is about the career and life of Audrey MusonMarion Davies had appeared in the 1930 movie The Floradora Girl but in real life she had been a Ziegfeld Follies girl.  (The costumes these girls wore left a lot to the imagination compared to the clothing actresses wear on the Red Carpet today.)

Evelyn Nesbit had also been picked out of Floradora Chorus line....

You know I've dedicated a month to these women in the past!
