Beautiful Anita Page was one of the most famous and popular leading ladies during the last years of the silent screen and the first years of the talkie era. She was best known for starring in The Broadway Melody (1929), the first sound film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. Her leading men included John Gilbert, Clark Gable, Buster Keaton, and Robert Montgomery.
Only in her late teens when stardom beckoned, Anita had a huge following that earned her record amounts of fan mail, but she was seldom given lead roles, most often playing second lead, perhaps due to her youthful inexperience as an actress. She was a charming, much-loved screen personality, but by 1932 MGM seemed to lose interest in her career despite impressive work in such films as Night Court (1932) and Skyscraper Souls (1932), and before the year was out her contract was not renewed. She slipped off into "B" stardom in films at Columbia, Universal, and even more minor studios. She retired from the screen in 1936, making a return 25 years later in The Runaway (1961) with Cesar Romero, and she lived quietly out of the limelight for over half a century. In the 1990s, the now widowed star was rediscovered by the media, which enjoyed her light-humored journeys down memory lane about her career, MGM, the silent and early talkie eras, and the stars she knew, earning the actress a devoted cult of young fans and a few brief appearances in ultra-low-budget films of the 1990s.- James Driskill was born on 17 February 1946 in Nevada, USA.

Some of his writing was influenced by his experience with disability caused by an aggressive form of multiple sclerosis - Primary Progressive MS. He was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2003, and the disease took away his ability to walk and within the last two years, play the guitar.
However, he was still writing music and essays toward the very end.
"Even after he had MS, three albums of his songs came up," said Emily Kaitz, who helped produce some of his albums.
His albums, sold at the Ozark Natural Foods store and through his Web site, included "Some Kind of Sign, " "Everything You've Got "and "The Lost Songs. "Many of the songs on "Everything You've Got "were inspired by his experiences with multiple sclerosis, Kaitz said.
"The amazing thing about Nick was... with each loss of abilities that he suffered, he adapted with grace and creativity and even humor," Kaitz said. "He didn't dwell on his own problems. He wasn't really depressed."
Some of Masullo's honors include Songwriter of the Year from the Ozark Music Awards and a Lifetime Achievement Award for Songwriting at the North Arkansas Music Awards.
He was also a first-place winner once in the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival Songwriting Competition and won an award for Best Contemporary Folk Song at the Winfield, Kan., Walnut Valley Festival.
Masullo came to Arkansas from New York and lived in the state for 36 years, Mulhollan said. He worked for the Ozark Cooperative Warehouse from the 1970 s until 2003, and Masullo was working as the general manager of the cooperative when he left.
He also volunteered for many years as a skating coach for the Special Olympics.
Nick died peacefully in his home with his wife and friends on Saturday evening, Sept. 6, 2008.
Nick has two sons, Clayton Yarri Davis and Chris Masullo.
