Pictures of Priscilla

*****COVER GIRL CARDS *****************Publicity Shot from Waikiki Beach ****************Heroine of "Hero of the Hills"

GIRLOF THE GOLDEN WEST

In this film, as with "Flash Gordon", Priscilla plays the woman in love with the hero, but alas, he loves another. She plays Nina Martinez who is in love with Ramerez. As a boy, he was adopted by Mexican bandits and becomes their leader with a Robin Hood mystique. The hero is played by none other than Nelson Eddy and, of course, his love interest is Jeanette MacDonald. When Nina discovers she has been jilted, she plots to betray the hero to the local sheriff, played by a suave Walter Pidgeon. Her plan is to collect the reward money and prevent anyone from having the man she loves.

In the first picture, Priscilla is introduced as the vibrant Nina thrilled to see her hero return safely from another raid. The next picture is from her only romantic scene with Nelson ending with him singing a song. Unfortunately, she doesn't realize he is dreaming of the unknown girl who he first heard sing the song. In the third picture, we see her reaction to being told that there is another woman in Ramerez's life. Lastly, as she eyes the reward poster, she begins to form her betrayal plot which, in the best Hollywood tradition, fails miserably.

EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE BIT PARTS, SHE STOLE THE SCENE FROM SOME VERY GOOD ACTORS
