Said Cinemactress Tashman: "Someone should teach that girl some manners." If Margaret Sullavan lacks manners, it is not the fault of her upbringing. She was born in Norfolk, Va. in 1909, sent to Chatham Episcopal Institute where she played her first role in the commencement play, and to Sullins College. Her father gave her permission to study dancing for a year. She went to Boston, switched from dancing...
