Parr For The Course

Sally Parr's movie career lasted basically from 1950 to 1952. She played "The Girl" in The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), and that was the lead. Anyway, she came from Dallas and went back to Dallas.

(More delightful pictures from Life.)

Elke Sommer in The Money Trap (1965), available from the Warner Archive. Forty-nine year old Glenn Ford plays a detective. He's married to 25-year-old Elke Sommer, but he meets an old flame played by 47-year-old Rita Hayworth. Forty-five-year-old Ricardo Montalban plays Glenn's partner. Sixty-year-old Joseph Cotten plays a bad guy. So, basically, the hero has a wife half his age, and his "old" girlfriend (who is two years younger than he) is a "washed up" waitress. Hollywoood can be so cruel at times.

Here is a YouTube version.
