Gladys Timmons

In 1939, Gladys Blake's home was ransacked of jewelry and furs worth $12.000. She appealed to the burglars to return one inexpensive locket which contained a portrait of her mother, who died when Gladys was 11 months old. The burglary occurred the night after she got her first movie role with Robert Taylor and Myrna Loy in "Lucky Night".

As a vaudeville comedienne in the team Gresham and Blake, Gladys came to Hollywood and tried for eight months to get into pictures before finally succeeding.
