MOVIE STAR CLUB 1927

Who Was Renée Adorée?

Renée Adorée. Who ever heard of Renée Adorée?? I was Renée Adorée in our Movie Star Club!

When eight of my friends and I were 9 years old, we decided to form a club. We all chose a star’s name – Billie Dove, Anita Page, Mary Pickford, etc. I must have had the last choice – to be Renée Adorée.

We dressed in fancy clothes and very high heels. I was lucky – I had a college friend who gave me high heels that fit me.

I don’t remember what our meetings were. I know we had refreshments. Then we went outside, kicked off our shoes and played games.

As the years passed we became a bridge club. Some of the women still meet.

After I moved to Pomperaug Woods I happened across an old movie – and there was Renée Adorée!
