This week in Hollywood Goes Fishing we get a great photo ca. 1950 of screen legend Gloria Swanson holding a pair of fish (11 pound King Mack and a Bonita), with an Ocean City surf reel in the background. It was taken at the Flamingo at Miami Beach, Florida. Swanson (1899-1983) is best remembered for her iconic role in Sunset Boulevard, but she was also nominated two additional times for Academy Awards. A tremendously gifted actress, she was truly a legend of the screen.
This blog deals with our outdoor heritage. It concentrates in particular on the history of fishing and fishing tackle, and seeks to provide interesting, informative, and important materials for anyone who wants to help preserve our nation's (and the world's) fishing. ©2007-2018 Dr. Todd Larson.
