Strom, Robert: Virginia O'Brien: MGM's Deadpan Diva
(Category: Books and articles by and about colleagues and contemporaries of the Marx Brothers)
Cover text: "Virginia O'Brien was one of the more unique talents under contract to Metro Goldwyn Mayer. The California native was discovered by MGM's mogul, Louis B. Mayer when he attended a performance of the musical revue Meet the People. It was here that Virginia stopped the show with the deadpan delivery of her solo number. Her appearances in more than a dozen of MGM's musicals were always a highlight. While one can't 'stop' a film, Virginia's singular performances are etched in the memory of the fans of MGM's lavish musicals. This is the story of the comedic actress-singer who was fondly known as 'Miss Frozen Face.'"
