I messed up and pressed “Enter” before I had even started! lol

Patricia, congratulations on the wonderful article in the newspaper, and the completely adorable picture of current day Edna May. Such a nice interview and your blog posting was also terrific. So many people obviously are crazy about her — in the movies and in real life!

Nothing but love coming to her from all of us out here! Thanks, Patricia, for taking my blog posting so many steps further and giving a big public thank you and salute to Edna May, truly one of the most charming kids ever to make a movie.

Isn’t it so nice to know that her life has been so fulfilling and that she is beloved by so many? Just exactly what we would have wanted for Ann Newton!

Again, beautiful job, Patricia!

I happened on this blog last month while doing research for a blog on “Shadow of a Doubt.” I noticed Edna’s comment and thought I might try to contact her since there were some clues to her whereabouts, etc. I did reach Edna (a wonderful woman) and what came out of our emails and a lengthy telephone conversation was a two-part blog interview. She talked about how she was discovered by Hitchcock at a Santa Rosa bus stop, her screen test, being a local celebrity, working on “Shadow of a Doubt”(and, later, “The Bells of St. Mary’s”) and much more. Not only did the blogs get a lot of views and positive response, they also brought Edna great happiness. We posted the first blog on her 78th birthday and she became the focus of much attention from family, friends and film fans. If interested, check out “Happy Birthday, Edna May” at http://classic-film-tv.blogspot.com. Thanks for your blog, Medusa, it made the rest possible…

I read it this morning (on Superbowl Sunday), and since we won’t be watching the game, we had already planned to watch Shadow of a Doubt tonight! Edna certainly has a loyal friend in you, and many others there in Yuma! I am so impressed with the fact that she wanted to become a wife and mom, and as you said, that she had the sense to leave show business when she did. I was born in 1954, so SOAD was made 11 years before I was born, but it really was a treat to see it for the first time about 10 years ago. “Ann” is my favorite character in the movie, and certainly was a perfect fit!! :)

She is a spitting image of how she looked in “Shadow” and still short, to boot! We all in the Yuma, Az area just love her to pieces and we are glad to have known such a supurb and upcoming actress who had the sense to leave show business before it corrupted her. We here in Yuma LOVE her movies and feel she held a GREAT part in them, indeed! Thanks for the wonderful coverage of this special actress and her role as Ann in “Shadow!”

I have seen the movie numerous times, and I really feel that in many ways, Edna May “carries” the movie. Even though the lead players are professional and polished in their respective roles, it is Edna who makes the movie thoroughly enjoyable!! Her smile is adorable, and she lights up the screen! It is also nice to know that she is still alive, and that she has a wonderful family…

It was fun to see her in “The Bells of St. Mary’s” as well! I own the DVD and have watched it twice this weekend!! :)
