I Was So Hoping Her First Name Would Be Ethel

When I read the caption for this photo in A Review of the Educational Motion Picture “The Way To A Man’s Heart”, my first thought was, “Oh, please, let her first name be Ethel!” because I completely fell in love with that name in On Golden Pond. (The fabulous Katharine Hepburn played the fabulously named Ethel Thayer.) But no. Sadly, Miss Thayer’s first name wasn’t Ethel; it was Phoebe.
