Virginia Bradford(1899-1995)

March 1929 trade-paper articles announced that she had been signed for a leading role in the forthcoming Tiffany-Stahl picture "Midway". She eventually was replaced and did not appear in the movie.

[on being under contract to a studio] . . . contracts have never got me anywhere in pictures. The first one I had was with Universal, and all I got out of it was a few parts in two-reel Westerns that nobody ever saw. After I left there I got another contract with MGM, but they didn't give me a single thing to do, so I quit. De Mille's [Cecil B. DeMille] contract came next. They started me off as one half of a team with Frank Marion, but we never got a break with a really good story. It wasn't until my contract expired that they seemed to take enough interest to cast me in good stories.
