I wanted to continue the Sister Aimee thing, and get it on another thread, so as not to hijack…does anyone have anything better than Faye Dunaway for Aimee info?
You probably could have found this yourself, but I’m in a giving mood today.

Sister Aimee also wrote her memoirs, called “In The Service Of The King.” This was given a scathing review by Dorothy Parker (which was reprinted in “The Portable Dorothy Parker.”
How about going right to the source of the church she founded??
Aimee Semple MacPherson ranks right up there with Joseph Smith, John Humphrey Noyes, Ann Lee and Mary Baker Eddy as true religious innovators, IMHO.

Sorry to sidetrack the thread, but any idea why is she mentioned in Johnny Mercer’s song “Hooray for Hollywood”?
Where anyone at all from Shirley Temple
to Aimee Semple
is equally understood.
WAG:
Hollywood equally understands the Personification of Curly-Haired, Dimpled Innocence (Temple) and a scheming, money-grubbing symbol of hypocrisy on an enormous scale (Macpherson)?
Also, it rhymes.
Oh…also, Shirl and Aimee both made their dough in Hollywood. The town was good to them.
