NYC. Eartha Kitt & James Dean, early 1950s. Dean studied dance with Kitt in New York City. Eartha said:

“[James Dean] said to me, ‘I want to move like you, can you teach me how to move my body like you do on stage?’ And I told him where to meet me, here in New York and that’s where we met for dance classes. And that’s where Jamie and I always met downstairs from that studio to have coffee, to have our little tete-a-tete conversations.”

Sincerely, Dorothy Gish
“‘And So I Am a Comedienne’, an article published in Ladies Home Journal in July 1925, gave Dorothy a chance to recall her public persona: ‘And so I am a comedienne, though I, too, once wanted to do heroic and tragic things. Today my objection to playing comedy is that it is so often misunderstood by the audiences, both in the theater and in the picture houses. It is so often thought to be a lesser art and something which comes to one naturally, a haphazard talent like the amateur clowning of some cut-up who is so often thought to be ‘the life of the party’. In the eyes of so many persons comedy is not only the absence of studied effect and acting, but it is not considered an artt.” (via wiki
