 One Flower Under A L.A. Freeway

geisha
Gloria Swanson (Late movie screen star of 30's & 40's)


Gloria, Gloria

 A petite dry beauty sizzling on the silent screen that never had to speak

Her come hither got her beholden to William

She was too hot a red pepper on the President's Daddy's wealthy platter

Hiss.......

Such a sexy little dish that took all she could handle
Still slithers in spirit spiraling down Sunset Boulevard to re-capture her moment that was then.**



**Gloria was Joe Kennedy's other "girl" for many years which led to scandal. Her most famous talking movie role (still shown on Turner Classics) was "Sunset Boulevard" with actor William Holden.
