Page made it into a few mainstream movies too, didn’t she?
No. She went all religious again (like her conservative upbringing) and denounced her movies and that phase of her life. Have some of her movies on a DVD, really hard to get and all the good ones were destroyed by the producers. McCarthyism & conservatism pushed them into a corner!
