Some stunning ladies from those black and white days of films..some truly stunning women.

I hadn't heard of her. What a "Hollywòod" life-style so early on in its history. Thank you, very interesting.

There weren't as many resources to help treat addiction back when Reid and Ms. Rubens became the 'face' of this condition .But as we've just seen with Matthew Perry's death and the account he had given of his struggles, even rehab centers, detox regimens, etc, are not always an easy path to sobriety.
