2. Go to, On the, At, In ______(fill in the blank)

4. Ah the legendary Marjorie Main
Edited on Sat May-10-08 01:04 AM by libnnc
Fascinating woman. Married to Dr. Stanley Krebs (died in 1935) she never remarried and never called him by his first name. Nominated for an Oscar. Later in life she and Spring Byington were companions. Byington is one of my favorite character actresses.




Spring Byington

Dr. Stanley LeFevre Krebs

Birth: Jan. 14, 1864
Death: Sep. 26, 1935


Husband of actress Marjorie Main. Beside him is a space reserved for Marjorie, etched with her real name, stage name and birth date. Dr. Krebs died before his wife became a famous character address in Hollywood films. She outlived him by 40 years and is buried in Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills, where he was later moved.
