Before she was a glamorous actress, before she was a war-time
pin-up star, even before she was Carole Landis, she was Frances
Lillian Ridste, an insecure young girl from Wisconsin. She was
strikingly beautiful, talented, and on her way to becoming a movie
star, yet she spent her entire life searching for love. Though she
appeared in more than 60 films during her short career, Landis was
better known for her extraordinary beauty and many romantic
relationships than for her acting or comedic timing. Like many
starlets of the time, Landis worked her way up from uncredited bit
parts (and according to rumors, from the casting couch) to leading
roles in such films as Topper Returns (1940) and My Gal Sal (1942)
over the course of her 11-year career. She spent more time visiting
troops during World War II?traveling hundreds of thousands of miles
and coming near death twice?than any other Hollywood star. Despite
her seemingly glamorous and carefree life, Landis was unable to
build a lasting relationship, a fact that contributed to her
suicide at 29. This work examines Landis's life and career in
Hollywood, focusing on how her movie career affected her short,
unhappy life.
