I hope there is such a person who will collect all the information about her, all the memories and quotes that will help us understand her even more. I thought to do it with the help of <a href="https://www.essaymama.com/" rel="nofollow">writing services</a>, but then I realized that I knew too little about her to take up such work. In the meantime, I will wait and review films with her participation.Robin Daultonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988458017599068679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-52058868381512392442014-11-24T09:20:30.644-08:002014-11-24T09:20:30.644-08:00Thanks so much for reading and commenting.

Esther is no longer simply an actress I look for and admire, she now feels like my pal.<br /><br />PS: I'm sure you recognized that screen captures from "Holiday Affair".

I had little knowledge of her background, and am particularly pleased at her training in New England stock theatre -- a particular love of mine. Love this: "I feel her acting prowess is directly related to her musicianship. She could take the notes on the page and imbue them with all the emotion intended, plus that indefinable something extra which draws us to certain performers."<br />Jacqueline T.
