Ann Harding(1902-1981)

She joined the NAACP in 1934, having been disgusted by what she considered racism in her movie Prestige (1931). In 1935, she attended a benefit in support of the group's anti-lynching bill.

I 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.
