Frank Buck spins a tale for Lou Costello, Clyde Beatty, and Bud Abbott, during the filming of AFRICA SCREAMS, 1949. The lead actress was Hillary Brooke, who later became a friend of mine by correspondence. She autographed a glamour shot for me just weeks before she passed. In her day, she co-starred with the top names, usually as a second female lead, or as "the other woman". Her blonde good looks kept her busy at the studios until she chose retirement and family life. She starred opposite Basil Rathbone's Sherlock Holmes portrayal in THE WOMAN IN GREEN. When Abbott & Costello had their TV series, Miss Brooke played Lou's comic girlfriend for the entire run.
