Maisie, the first in 1939, was from the book "Dark Dame" by the
writer Wilson Collison,who did decades of scripting for the silver screen along

Sothern to play Maisie. She began in Hollywood as an extra in 1927.
"Maisie and I were just together - I just understood her," Sothern,
born Harriette Arlene Lake, said after several of the films made her a star.
Throughout the 1930s and '40s, Ann Sothern and Lucille Ball, like many performers

radio. MGM Studios had created the

Dame" by the writer Wilson Collison, who did decades of scripting for the
