Tales of a Hollywood Housewife

A Memoir by the First Mrs. Lee Marvin

By: Betty Marvin

At sixteen, Betty runs away from the small river town she's always known, to live in Los Angeles with her father, an outrageous used car salesman and avid gambler. It is the first journey in what will be a remarkable life among remarkable people: Betty's first job out of college is as Joan Crawford's nanny, caring for the Crawford children at the height of the star's career. Hollywood is about to play an even larger role in Betty's life when she meets a young ambitious actor named Lee Marvin. After a whirlwind courtship and a trip to Las Vegas, Betty and Lee are married. In this unique memoir, both hilarious and touching, we follow Betty as she creates a family with Lee, and is by his side as he works with Marlon Brando, John Wayne and a host of other stars. She is the penultimate hostess and Hollywood Housewife. Nobody knew what was really going on at home - until, unable to take Lee's womanizing, drinking and abuse, Betty leaves him and strikes out on her own. What follows are adventures that could only be Betty Marvin's; from the building of her career as an artist. To a love affair with an Italian King, to dire straits as investment con artists leave Betty suddenly homeless. After years of the Hollywood life, Betty is left with only her car, her dog and her typewriter. Forced to employ all of her skills to survive, she comes out on top. This is the story of a woman who finds the real riches that come with learning the value of a joyful life.

The People of the First Light

By: Betty Raymond Gubler

Two families, the Michauds and the Gauvins, along with their Abenaki guides, leave Canada and settle in the English village of Compton, Maine. The Gauvins, eager to become more socially accepted, convert from Catholicism to Protestantism and begin to look down on the Michauds as well as the Abenakis who have been converted to Catholicism by Jesuit priests. When some of the rowdy settlers burn down the Gauvins home, the Gauvins go to live with the Abenakis. (Abenaki means "the people of the first light" or "the people first to see the sun rise.") The parents return to Canada, whereas their son Francois and his young wife, Maria-Claire Gauvin, continue to live with the Indians. Francois, a coureur de bois, becomes involved in a reckless life of drinking and carousing, causing Maria and the Abenakis to lose their respect for him. Agawam, a widow and spiritual leader of the tribe, teaches Maria the healing uses of herbs. He also saves the life of Francois when Francois is ill with pneumonia. Maria takes her young daughter Jennie to visit her relatives in Compton (a fictional name). Just before Maria dies in childbirth, she gives Jennie to her friend Wiyanna. When Jennie becomes a lovely young woman, her English relatives, with whom she spends the winters, want her to stay with them and plan for her to marry the widowed minister, Gideon Hughes, whom Jennie detests. Jennie is in love with Cognawescu, the chief's son, and wants to return to her Indian family. Nevertheless, making her feel unaccepted by her own people and fearing she will end up marrying an Indian, the Gauvins tell Jennie that she needs to accept the offer of the arrogant Gideon Hughes, who insists that she marry him in order for her to become a respectable White woman and that she must no longer visit her "heathen" Abenaki friends. Read the story to find out what happens to Jennie and to learn a lot about the relations between the Abenakis, the French, and the English during the 1700s.

The Master Showmen of King Ranch

The Story of Beto and Librado Maldonado

By: Betty Bailey Colley,Jane Clements Monday,Beto Maldonado

Winner, San Antonio Conservation Society Citation, 2011 Texas's King Ranch has become legendary for a long list of innovations, the most enduring of which is the development of the first official cattle breed in the Americas, the Santa Gertrudis. Among those who played a crucial role in the breed's success were Librado and Alberto "Beto" Maldonado, master showmen of the King Ranch. A true "bull whisperer," Librado Maldonado developed a method for gentling and training cattle that allowed him and his son Beto to show the Santa Gertrudis to their best advantage at venues ranging from the famous King Ranch auctions to a Chicago television studio to the Dallas–Fort Worth airport. They even boarded a plane with the cattle en route to the International Fair in Casablanca, Morocco, where they introduced the Santa Gertrudis to the African continent. In The Master Showmen of King Ranch, Beto Maldonado recalls an eventful life of training and showing King Ranch Santa Gertrudis. He engagingly describes the process of teaching two-thousand-pound bulls to behave "like gentlemen" in the show ring, as well as the significant logistical challenges of transporting them to various high-profile venues around the world. His reminiscences, which span more than seventy years of King Ranch history, combine with quotes from other Maldonado family members, co-workers, and ranch owners to shed light on many aspects of ranch life, including day-to-day work routines, family relations, women's roles, annual celebrations, and the enduring ties between King Ranch owners and the vaquero families who worked on the ranch through several generations.

Canadian Holy War

A Story of Clans, Tongs, Murder, and Bigotry

By: Ian Macdonald,Betty O'Keefe

Scottish nursemaid Janet Smith was the victim of a 1924 tragedy that ignited racial tension in a very young Vancouver. At the core of the issue were the mysterious circumstances surrounding Smith's death, particularly the fact that the only other adult in the house at the time was the Chinese houseboy. When Smith's death was followed by the assassination of Davie Lew, a well-known Chinese man, it only strengthened the European view that Vancouver's Asian community was a hotbed of violence and corruption. Newspaper editors and most of Vancouver's white community raised an outcry, charging the police with incompetence and demanding arrests, while Presbyterian indignation called for law and order as well as an end to Chinese immigration. Before the summer was over, the tongs of Chinatown and the clans of Canada's West Coast were set to defend their own, and one Scottish minister went so far as to declare it a time of "holy war.

Daisies & Thistles

Fellow Travelers on Life’s Journey

By: Betty Street

God may have placed someone in your life to guide you toward his purpose—a family member, friend, or acquaintance who inspired or connected you with someone who influenced your decisions. In moments of crisis, unseen angels may have surrounded and protected you. Betty’s biographical account describes those relationships as divine appointments. Remarkable stories are shared so that your interest may be piqued in the supernatural, recognizing the fact that we are not alone. God is always near, lovingly guiding us along life’s journey. Fleeting, temporary, and lifelong acquaintances cross our paths. Some encourage us onward by instilling wisdom and advice. Others inflict pain, trap us, and are in need of forgiveness. Choosing bitterness keeps us stuck on that path. Forgiveness offers freedom and moves us forward. Inviting Jesus to walk with us allows us to be forgiven and enables us to forgive others and ourselves. Ultimately, God places people on our path for a purpose. Do you recognize people on your own path who fit this criteria? If so, it is a definitive moment for you. Leave your troubles with God, and trust him completely. Celebrate the easy roads, and learn from rocky trails. Then give thanks to God and give him all the praise. This book is meant to encourage you to view your life from a new perspective. Since the Lord is our loving, forgiving, and protective God, Betty suggests that you observe every incident that you have with other people and determine God’s part in it. You may encounter a divine appointment.

Nerve Membranes

A Study of the Biological and Chemical Aspects of Neuron–Glia Relationships

By: Patricia V. Johnston,Betty I. Roots

Nerve Membranes: A Study of the Biological and Chemical Aspects of Neuron–Glia Relationships presents the various aspects of neuronal and glial structure and function. This book provides an interdisciplinary approach to the analysis of neuron–glia relationships and of membranes in the nervous system. Comprised of seven chapters, this book begins with an overview of the function of the biological membranes to improve, retard, and regulate the rate of cellular reactions. This text then determines the differences in the organization of the cells in the nervous system in the vertebrates and the invertebrates. Other chapters examine the role of certain intermolecular forces and of water in the organization of lipid–protein and lipid–lipid associations. This book reviews as well the theories of biological membrane structure and considers how these contribute towards understanding the methods by which membranes perform their role. This book is a valuable resource for neuroscientists, neurochemists, and researchers.

Christina's Ghost

By: Betty Ren Wright

When the ghostly figure of a small, sad boy appears in her uncle's old house, Christina must figure out what he's trying to tell her—and how to help him—in this classic horror novel for young readers. Ten-year-old Christina was looking forward to spending the summer on her grandmother's farm—not being stuck with her crabby uncle Ralph, in a dusty Victorian house that's "cozy as a tomb." But she's determined to stay busy, and stay out of her uncle's way. There's plenty she can do on her own—she just needs to find a project to focus on. But when the ghost of a little boy appears, Christina begins to suspect that the house is full of secrets. Though the young apparition seems friendly, there's also something in the attic . . . something terrifying . . . something getting stronger every day. Christina is strong-willed, clever, and independent—but that might not be enough to unravel the mysteries of this strange, creepy house, and the horrifying events that took place there. Can she win over Uncle Ralph and convince him there's really something supernatural going on? Or will the malevolent presence in the attic get them first? This classic ghost story, recipient of seven kids' choice state awards, including the Texas Bluebonnet Award, is back in print after many years with an updated jacket . . . and it's ready to chill a new generation of readers looking for an unforgettable mystery.

Personal Narratives of Teacher Knowledge

Crossing Cultures, Crossing Identities

By: Betty C. Eng

This book illustrates how the experiential histories of teachers shape and inform the knowledge of teachers as professionals. Situating personal experiences into the context of social, political, and economic events gives clarity to the intercultural dynamics of being Chinese and Western. What can we learn from each other to transform our teaching and learning? The book engages in a cross-cultural perspective that is highly relevant for teachers, teacher education, curriculum making and policy planning for a global community. The book is also an invitation to internationalize the classroom for teaching and learning in a diverse and global world, and to educators and policy makers to expand our understanding of cross-cultural complexities for an increasingly diversified and global community. By viewing the classroom through the multiple lens of different cultures, educators have an opportunity to cross over to see, experience, and understand how others live.

Pender Harbour Cowboy

The Many Lives of Bertrand Sinclair

By: Betty Keller

Cowboy, logger, fisherman, writer, social activist, and grand adventurer! Sinclair's fascinating life is set against the changing ranching, logging, fishing and mining industries that he wrote about and the publishing industry for which he wrote. His story takes the reader from the old west of Montana, life in California, on to Vancouver and the logging community of Harrison, until his final move to the B.C. Sunshine Coast. It is here he buys his beloved, 37-foot Hoo Hoo and begins his 60-year love affair with Pender Harbour. Although he was christened William Brown Sinclair, the literary world knew him as Bertrand Sinclair, a writer with 15 novels, dozens of novelettes, and hundreds of short stories to his credit. Four of his adventure/romance novels have been made into movies. But in the communities around Pender Harbour, he was just called Bill.
