Publicity still for Dee Hartford in A Girl in Every Port (1952). Dee was Howard Hawks’ third wife. They were married 1953 to 1960. By coincidence, Howard Hawks has an unrelated film called A Girl in Every Port (1928). It was a silent film with Victor McLaglen and Louise Brooks. Dee’s A Girl in Every Port is a weak Groucho Marx comedy made without his brothers.

Producer Samuel Goldwyn visits Howard Hawks and Barbara Stanwyck on the set of Ball of Fire (1942). One can tell that Howard does not enjoy having producers on his set while he’s at work. Most of Howard’s films were produced by Hawks himself.

Howard Hawks at a screening of Hearts in Exile (1929), directed by Michael Curtiz at Warner Brothers, where Hawks would make many of his most popular films. None of the other men are recognizable. It is likely one of the men is Curtiz. In 1929, Hawks had yet to make a sound film, but still he was front and center by himself.

Nancy Gross, many years after her divorce from Howard Hawks, at a gala event. After her divorce, it was she, and not Howard, who kept up friendships with Ernest Hemingway, Bogart and Bacall. She was a socialite and would be an interesting biographical subject. It was Nancy, nicknamed Slim, who first brought Lauren Bacall’s magazine cover to the attention of her husband Howard, who spoke with Lauren, still known as Betty Jane Persky, and he soon brought her to Hollywood for a screen test.
