Help[Games] Re: Old Hollywood Insp. CAF (Part 1)
in reply to a message by Antique_Cherub
Born in 1914, Alta Adams was the oldest child of a German immigrant family in Pennsylvania. Although she had yet to dye her hair platinum, she was still striking and had always possessed that doe-like gaze, which later become her trademark. Before fame she worked at textile factory, using her meager paycheck to support her parents. It was on a trip to New York to visit her aunt that she was spotted, soon finding work as a model, and eventually, an actress. Her first big role came in 1935, when she starred in "The Cigarette Girl". Though her name at birth was Mable Kohler, the studios decided to give her something more star-worthy.
The name they gave her was: Alta Adams.
Her Family:
DH: Franz Heinrich Köhler
DW: Margarete Luise Köhler, née Jentsch
DD: Mable Annemarie Kohler
DD: Lorene Ursula Kohler
DS: Garland Heinz Kohler
DD/DS: Phyllis Renate Kohler & Clifford Klaus Kohler
___
Soon after, Adams became a household name, starring box-office hit after hit. One of her most memorable roles would be as the seductive Madame Veruschka in the classic noir film "As the Night Fades". In 1940 at age twenty-six, she was married to fellow actor, Frank Holden, who she met on the set of her 1939 romance film, "Queen of Sheba". He was eight years her senior. They were the perfect Hollywood couple, her with her perfect blonde curls and willowy figure, him with his dark hair, blue eyes, and smoky baritone. Just seven months after their marriage, Adams would give birth to a baby girl, much to the tabloids shock. Only three years later, Adams would file for a divorce. The court proceedings were splashed across the news, and filled with every sordid detail, from the mistresses to the drugs and Holden's supposed alcoholism. Despite it all, she would win full custody of her child.
DH: Frank Leslie Holden
DW: Alta Adams
DD1: Franalta Margaret Holden
____
Despite Franalta playing a younger version of her mother's character in "Infamous", she would eventually shun the fast-paced and, in her own words, "shallow" lifestyle of Hollywood. Franalta became a well-respected OB/GYN in New York, and married a pediatrician. After years of resentment between the two, Adams and Franalta rekindled their relationship via the birth of Franalta's first child. Now, they maintain a friendship, and spend the holidays together.
