Born in Fort Worth, TX, in 1907, Adrienne Ames hit Hollywood in the latter part of the 1920s. While her career lasted just 10 years, her entire life was full of high-profile marriages and divorces. Her popularity as a glamour queen and clothes horse far outweighed her fame as an actress. She was married Bruce Cabot in 1933 after she had left her second husband, a New York City stockbroker. However, their relationship lasted only four years. The court heard in the divorce proceedings that she quit Cabot due to him being an uncontrollable, violent drunk. In 1938, the pair were in front of a US Tax Appeals Board to explain why she wrote off more than $9000 in wardrobe and jewelry on her tax form, which she claimed was necessary for "professional motives" (as was the case with her maid). Her "daily expenses" were flowers, taxis beauty treatments, taxis, and massages. You're Telling me is likely her most well-known movie. (1934) With W.C. Fields. After her film career ended she became a radio commentator
