#Quote
1I believe that the actress who wears her profession on her sleeve, as it were, outside of her work, is, as a rule, merely dramatizing herself. When she acts off-stage as well as on, she is wasting her talent. It is like using nectar to quench a casual thirst.
#Fact
1She joined the NAACP in 1934, having been disgusted by what she considered racism in her 1932 movie Prestige. In 1935, she attended a benefit in support of the group's Anti-Lynching bill.
2[May 4, 1933] Was saved, along with traveling companions Alexander Kirkland and Marie Lombard, from shark infested waters off the coast of Havana, Cuba, when their sailboat overturned. They were accompanied by a sailor, Magin Alvarez Prieda, who did not survive the incident.
3Her father was Brig. Gen. George Grant Gatley, commander of the U.S. Rainbow Division in France during World War I. Mother Bessie Crabbe Gatley's father was also a military man. She had an older sister named Edith.
4Attended high school in East Orange High in New Jersey.
5Was once a Dictaphone operator for the welfare division of Metropolitan Life.
6Met actor Harry Bannister while she at Detroit's Garrick Theatre in 1926 as its lead actress, producer, casting director and business manager. She hired him as a last-minute replacement leading man and they married later that year (daughter Jane was born in 1928). Their divorce in 1932 led to a year-and-a-half-long custody battle.
7Unlike most film stars at that time, Ann dressed down off-camera and had little concern for her outwardly appearance. She often attended premieres without makeup or fancy hair-dos. Gossip maven Adela Rogers St. Johns claimed that Ann was "...the worst dressed woman I ever saw in my life!".
8Was estranged from her only child Jane for several years before her death in 1981.
9Her vehicle The Life of Vergie Winters (1934), portraying an unwed woman who carries on an illicit love affair with a married man and bears his child, was banned in Chicago and placed on the Catholic Church's films to be boycotted.
10Was the first major female star to join the Screen Actors Guild and later held the rank of 2nd Vice-President.
11Her daughter Jane was born in 1928 and died in December 2005. She had another daughter, Grace Kaye Janssen, with her second husband.
