I thought of Arlette Dover yesterday when I came across the 1953 version of "The War of the Worlds," George Pal production. I and a couple friends saw that at the Paramount Theater on Saturday morning when kids could see movies for six Pepsi bottle caps. As was often the case, my friends and I all had our baseball gloves with us. We spotted Arlette a few rows ahead and decided to scare her at some appropriate point in the movie. We did. And that was that.
I remember also that she lived right across the street from Nicholson Elementary school and that on one occasion I also saw her at the skating rink at (I think) North St at N. Foster Dr.skating with an adult I assumed was her father. I asked her for a skate dance (or whatever they were called), and my usual clumsy non-athletic self, I crashed and burned as she skated on without me.
Anyway I looked her up here and saw, sadly, that she was deceased. I looked also in the Class of '64 BRHS yearbook, but she wasn't there. That's all I know, except I found her obituary. She died in 1993 at age 46. Like I said...sad. If interested, here's a link:
