Gladys George

She is perhaps best known to modern audiences as the wife of Miles Archer in The Maltese Falcon. She also has a book called "Marathon 33." She still acts from time to time and lives on a farm in Stamford, Connecticut. She also appeared in Madame X in 1937, The Roaring Twenties in 1939, The Way of All Flesh in 1946 and The Best Years of Our Lives in 1951. June, however, to set the record straight, wrote two more mealistically based books of memoirs, titled Early Havoc and More Havoc. In 1936 she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for Valiant Is the Word for Carrie. The play and the subsequent movie deal assured Gypsy steady income. Born Gladys Anna Clare in Patten, Maine, she starred on the stage in the 1920s, although she had made several films in the early part of that decade. But it wasn't until 1934 that she started becoming noticed for her film work. June did not like the way she was portrayed in the piece, but was eventually persuaded not to oppose it, for her sister's sake.

Gladys George (September 13, 1900 - December 8, 1954) was an American actress. Gypsy's memoirs, titled Gypsy, were published in 1957, and were taken as inspirational material for the Jule Styne, Stephen Sondheim and Arthur Laurents musical Gypsy: A Musical Fable. Rose died in 1954 of colon cancer: the sisters now felt free to write about her without risking a lawsuit. Rose shot and killed one of her guests, (according to Erik Preminger, Gypsy's son, Rose killed her own lover, who had made a pass at Gypsy): this incident was kept quiet: Rose was not prosecuted. June and Gypsy continued to get demands for money from their mother, who had opened a lesbian boardinghouse in a ten-room apartment on West End Avenue, in New York City, the property rented for her by Gypsy, and a farm in Highland Mills, New York.

She married thirdly, in 1949, William "Bill" Spier. Gibbs. She married secondly, in 1935, Donald S. June, adopting the name June Havoc, got her first acting break in Rodgers and Hart's Pal Joey, and moved on to Hollywood roles in such movies as Gentleman's Agreement.

Louise gravitated to burlesque, taking the name Gypsy Rose Lee. June left the act. She pulled the trigger, but the safety was on and Bobby was freed. Rose had Bobby arrested and he was met at the police station by Rose, carrying a hidden gun.

June at the age of 13, in 1929, married a boy in the act, named Bobby Reed. Her two daughters earned the family's money by appearing in vaudeville, where June's talent shone, while Louise stood in the background. Their mother, Rose, had married John Hovick, a newspaperman, at the age of fifteen, and was the classic example of a smothering stage mother, though the more horrid details were whitewashed in Gypsy's memoirs. June Havoc (born November 8, 1916) is an actress, and younger sister of Gypsy Rose Lee. She was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and given the name Ellen Evangeline Hovick.
