Born on this day – Dorothy Gulliver:

Dorothy Gulliver

Actress

September 6, 1908 – May 23, 1997

Silent to sound.

Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, Dorothy Gulliver grew up a fan of movies.

She got her big break in 1924 after winning the title of Miss Salt Lake City.

The beauty contest was sponsored by Universal Pictures Studios.

The rest is movie history.

She made her mark in silent movies, beginning with serials, and made the transition into “talkies”.

Sadly, some of her early work is hard to find.

Even in small, sometimes uncredited roles, her performance was memorable.

Watch carefully for her all-too-brief role in the original King Kong (1933).

Over her career, her roles became fewer and smaller, until she finally retired from acting.

Dorothy Gulliver is one of the many unsung greats who were part of an important period of cinema history.

A period when the era of the silent film evolved into sound.

Gone were the screen title cards, delivering dialogue and narrative to the audience.

Gone were the in-theater orchestras, providing a musical accompaniment to the on-screen action.

The age of the audio soundtrack had arrived.

I love watching old movies, the original classics in particular, and I enjoy revisiting them when they are screened on TCM.

It’s a moot point that so many of them have not stood the test of time.

However, those who made and acted in the silents, were the pioneers of film.

Since their time, directors, actors, and creatives who followed would look back to their work for inspiration.

It’s fascinating to observe how far movies and the movie-making process has come since those early silents.

A quote from Isaac Newton resonates:

“If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants”.
