When Christina Rice checked out a VHS copy of <em><a href=\"http:\/\/astore.amazon.com\/bubble1-20\/detail\/B000YRY7VC\" target=\"_blank\">Three on a Match<\/a><\/em>&nbsp;from her local library in 1995, she just expected to enjoy Bette Davis and Humphrey Bogart in a snappy 1932 pre-Code film. Instead, she was blindsided by the raw performance of the little-known Ann Dvorak. This encounter would ultimately shape the course of Rice\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s adult life, culminating in the publication of the biography <em><a href=\"http:\/\/astore.amazon.com\/bubble1-20\/detail\/0813144264\" target=\"_blank\">Ann Dvorak: Hollywood\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Forgotten Rebel<\/a><\/em> from University Press of Kentucky (2013).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: normal; font-size: 12px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5;\">For more about the November Salon, click<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5;\">&nbsp;<\/span><a style=\"font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lavatransforms.local\/salon1113\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5;\">.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><object width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/fTsX9msm2WY?hl=en_US&amp;version=3\" \/><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/fTsX9msm2WY?hl=en_US&amp;version=3\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-1166\" data-postid=\"1166\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-1166 themify_builder\">\n    <\/div>\n<!-- \/themify_builder_content -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the last Sunday of each month , LAVA welcomes interested individuals to gather in downtown Los Angeles (noon-2pm), for a loosely structured conversational Salon featuring short presentations and opportunities to meet and connect with one another.
