Ann Rutherford

The name Ann Rutherford may not at first ring a bell, but when you remember she played Scarlett’s sister Careen in Gone With The Wind and Mickey Rooney’s girlfriend Polly in all the Andy Hardy movies, then remember her. She is a classic actress with about 60 movies to her credit, and she is a delightful person and a font of interesting stories about the Golden Era of Hollywood. Ann acted with John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Danny Kaye, Gene Autry, Lana Turner, Laurence Olivier, Greer Garson, Boris Karloff, Red Skelton, and Errol Flynn.

Just a few of the tidbits you can talk with Ann about are her memories of these great actors and actresses. Her favorite actors were: Errol Flynn, “…a funny, dear, professional who was no better than he should be”; Jimmy Stewart, “…a joy, so nice”; and Mickey Rooney who “…had more talent than the law allows. He should have been a director. He did not tap all his talent. He was so creative and inventive, a wonderful teacher. He could explain anything. And he could play anything. When the band would take five, Mickey would pick up an instrument and play it. He had no lessons, but he could play almost any instrument. He played the piano by ear.”

As for comedians, Danny Kaye and Red Skelton were her favorites.
“One time, I was working with Red Skelton, and mother thought I was coming down from a lung ailment because when I got up in the morning, I could hardly breathe. She took me to the studio doctor, and he checked me out. Then he asked me who I was working with. I said, ‘Red Skelton.’ He said, ‘Go back to work. Every time somebody works with him, they come up with aching ribs from laughing so much.’”

You will have a delightful and a memorable conversation with Ann Rutherford if you are the highest bidder.
