• Virgina Bruce and her family

  I grew up with the Rueben Grandchildren..we were some what cousin's by marriage..my Aunt married and had a child with Leo Marquez, who also fathered a child earlier with daughter Susan Gilbert. The son Virgina Bruce had with Walter Rueben was Christopher, he married and had 4 children. They were raised in Pacific Palisades, being a native of the Palisades myself..The Rueben's were friendly and funny. I remember as a child visiting Virgina, with one of her Granddaughters..we would walk to her home after school(we went to Palisades Elementary together). Very lovely family..meaning her son Chris and daughter-in-law Carol. He deserves to have a name in the bio...

  She cetainly had beauty! In her day it was all about looks and the image the studio made out of you that made you a star, it had little to do with acting, Ann Sothern said that was a fact! Virginia certainly was a beauty! I think she got a bad rap! I watched her for the first time in "Downstairs" and I really enjoyed her!

  I don't understand why Virginia never hit the 'A' list of actresses, but she is without a doubt my favorite actress of the thirties. Her beauty and charisma sweep me away in an avalanche of desire. The sound of her melodic voice sends pearls of delight down my spine and engulfs me in a hypnotic rapture. She's magnificent and I absolutely adore her.

  Virginia Bruce was a truly remarkable actress of 1930s & 40s films. She truly was a rising star as well as an individual who A.M.P.A.S, never acknowledged for her acting abilities. To those workes of TCM.com who review this I've sent some biogrophical info to you in hopes of your putting them in. I hope you find. If not I'll be sending them over and over again until its put in. Ms. Bruce is a star who must never fade.
