Vedic Horoscope for Blondell, Joan

American actress, the brassy but good-hearted heroine in dozens of comedies, musicals, films and stage productions. She was the daughter of old-time vaudevillians who put her on stage when she was three. She grew up traveling the world four times with their act. In 1930, she hit Hollywood, fresh from a Broadway hit. In her first 32 months at Warners, she made 27 pictures. Blondell was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in "The Blue Veil," 1951. She later played in two TV series, "Here Come the Brides," 1968-1970 and "Banyon," 1972. Date from her, time from an interview with her by Wynn, who gave 1909. Same in Sabian Symbols No.104, 1909. An article in TV Guide, 4/29/1969, quotes a conversation she had with Dick Powell. She said she was going to fill out her studio biography and he said, "Lie about your age, take off five years." She said, "It seemed silly, but I did it. Instead of putting down 1914, the year I was born, I took off five years and made it 1909. That was a big laugh for Dick." (She had deducted five years and it made her five years older!) In October 2005, Jim Gorham sent a copy of the online death record giving her birth year as 1906 (same month day and place) and giving her death as December 25, 1979 in Los Angeles.
