A series of bad judgments and highly publicized bouts with illness led to Lila's swift decline. She made a few dismal comebacks on stage and in TV soaps in the 1950s but to little fanfare.

This terrific portrait, in which the air ace displays the three stars of a Lieutenant General, a rank to which he ascended in short order (1944), perhaps painted for a magazine cover, seems definitely to commemorate the event: one sees the island of Japan, and Mount Fuji, behind him, in flames.  It’s a very arresting, even shocking image.

Douglass Parshall grew up in New York and began receiving art instruction from his father at an early age. He continued his education at the Art Students League, and in 1917, moved west with his family to settle in Santa Barbara. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, he traveled with his family to China, North Africa, Italy, France and Mexico.

Some 25 to 30 local artists earned $77 a month to produce murals and other works of art for public buildings and schools. Parshall estimated that more than 60 schools were graced with art from this program. In 1939 he served as Santa Barbara chairman for the Golden Gate International Exposition in San Francisco and for the New York World’s Fair.In 1952, he became the first president of the Santa Barbara Art Association. The association was dedicated to promoting and encouraging the best of artistic talent and to expanding exhibition space to give these artists greater exposure to the public. In his own work, Parshall moved to a more impressionistic style, with an emphasis on a brighter palette.In addition to painting watercolors, Parshall produced oil paintings, limited edition lithographic prints and portraits. Occasionally, he instructed small groups of advanced art students and in 1947, was president of the California Water Color Society. As early as 1918 he exhibited at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art also in 1921; at the National Academy of Design in 1924 and 1927; the De Young Museum in 1935; the Crocker Art Gallery in Sacramento in 1942 and with the California Watercolor Society in 1958, 1962 and 1965.

Hearst promoted her heavily through his newspapers, and pressured studios to cast her in historical dramas to which she was not suited. For this reason, Davies is better remembered today as Hearst’s mistress and hostess at many lavish events for the Hollywood elite than for her acting. In particular, her name is linked with the 1924 scandal aboard Hearst’s yacht when one of his guests, film producer Thomas Ince, died. In the film \u003cem style=\"border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003eCitizen Kane\u003c\/em\u003e (1940), the title character’s wife – an untalented singer whom tries to promote – was widely assumed to be based on Davies.

She retired from the screen in 1937 choosing to devote herself to Hearst and charitable work. In Hearst’s declining years, Davies provided both emotional and financial support until his death in 1951. She married for the first time eleven weeks after his death.

He first began to use photography only as a medium for recording his paintings. After moving to Laguna Beach, California from Chicago, Illinois in 1925 he found that photography was a more reliable source of income than painting. His photography was encouraged by his friend aviatrix Pancho Barnes, who often posed for him. He eventually opened a photographic studio in Los Angeles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; margin: 0px 0px 0.8125em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; clear: both; color: #000000; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\"\u003eCareer In Hollywood\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 300; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #373737; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\"\u003eIn the late 1920s, Hurrell was introduced to the actor Ramon Novarro, by Pancho Barnes, and agreed to take a series of photographs of him. Novarro was impressed with the results and showed them to the actress Norma Shearer, who was attempting to mould her wholesome image into something more glamorous and sophisticated in an attempt to land the title role in the movie The Divorcee. She asked Hurrell to photograph her in poses more provocative than her fans had seen before. After she showed these photographs to her husband, MGM production chief Irving Thalberg, Thalberg was so impressed that he signed Hurrell to a contract with MGM Studios, making him head of the portrait photography department. But in 1932, Hurrell left MGM after differences with their publicity head, and from then on until 1938 ran his own studio at 8706 Sunset Boulevard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"border: 0px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 300; margin: 0px 0px 1.625em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #373737; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\"\u003eThroughout the decade, Hurrell photographed every star contracted to MGM, and his striking black-and-white images were used extensively in the marketing of these stars. Among the performers regularly photographed by him during these years were silent screen star Dorothy Jordan, as well as Myrna Loy, Robert Montgomery, Jean Harlow, Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, Rosalind Russell, Carole Lombard and Norma Shearer, who was said to have refused to allow herself to be photographed by anyone else.
