Celebrating Acting
SCREENING: Marked Woman (1937), featuring actress Mayo Methot.
Marked Woman
In Marked Woman, Mayo Methot plays a prostitute, a supporting role to Bette Davis and Humphrey Bogart. Methot married Bogart soon after this production. Both stars had come to Hollywood via the Broadway stage, where George M. Cohan had dubbed Methot "the Portland Rosebud."
Mayo Methot
Mayo Methot grew up in Portland. She began her acting career with Baker Stock Company, a company owned and operated by George Baker, a former stagehand who went on to serve as one of Portland’s most popular and influential mayors (1917-1933). It was Baker who changed the name of Portland’s Seventh Avenue to Broadway.
Marked Woman will be shown in 16mm.
IN PERSON: Marne Lucas is a Portland-based visual and installation artist who has worked in the fields of photography, film and video, performance and curation. In February 2009, her large-scale installation Warlord Sun King, created with Bruce Conkle, was on display at The Art Gym at Marylhurst as part of an ongoing project that explores their "eco-baroque" style of portraying the natural world.
