So far, I am finding out the overview of Ms. Dunne's life and mapping out a timeline. I am trying to get my hands on any in-depth biographies about her that I can pull specific scenes from. Other than that, I am whiling away time by watching videos of her singing in films or appearing on "What's My Line" on the very helpful YouTube. I am supposing these will help me write her character better.
Also, all this research (which I am hoping will be extensive by the end of my searches) will help me determine if the film should be about Irene Dunne the historical starlet figure, or merely a fictional character who goes through similar (but not mirror-image) instances.
Dunne inspires and intrigues me at the moment for her fame and her lack of infamy. I'm wondering how many Hollywood success stories are similar to this?
Looking forward to finding out more about her, and encourage you all to check her out in films and on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=irene+dunne&search_type=&aq=f)
Looks like you're getting some real work done missy! This isn't the most constructive comment, but I love the old pictures of Miss Dunne. :)
