BACK STORY:

Born Theodore O'Bannion, young "Teddy" was quite the little neighborhood Romeo, stealing kisses from beneath the playground Pollyannas' pipe curls. He also always had a flair for the dramatic, prodding his playmates into staging elaborate pirate adventures on the bounding waters of the ponds in Philly's most prestigious parks - much to the chagrin of the local police force! 

After graduating from high school, he longed for adventure, even working as a truck driver to escape the city limits. But soon he discovered the local theater groups, where he was quickly spotted by a casting director for the Theatre Guild and whisked off to The Great White Way. His refined good looks, coupled with a certain aura of reckless abandon, brought him role upon role - and the attentions and intentions of an army of beautiful young actresses and debutantes.

After playing the gamut of juvenile roles on Broadway, Teddy, now known as Trent Osborn to the New York theater goers, was brought to Hollywood in 1935. A mainstay at Monolithic, he appeared in scores of films, and his most frequent leading ladies included such glamorous stars as Gene Marshall and Madra Lord.

 

As flamboyant a figure in Hollywood nightlife as he was on the screen, Trent Osborn broke countless hearts. But when he turned on those bedroom eyes, everyone from starlet to seasoned veteran melted at a glance.

In these times when Hollywood is brimming with starry-eyed hopefuls, a girl needs to be as multi-talented as possible to succeed in show business.

 

All those ballroom dance lessons paid off for Gene when she accepted the lead role in the sizzling romantic film Tango. In this cinematic masterpiece, Gene plays the daughter of a U.S. diplomat in exotic Buenos Aires, Argentina. As lively as she is lovely, she is the toast of the capital during the glittering Peron years. She first meets the fiery, dark-eyed artist who would change her life at an embassy ball. They dance the tango--the first of three such dances during the film.

 

It is without a doubt the second dance that heated movie houses. Slipping from the embassy during Carnival, Gene dances with her lover--he the vital male, she the irresistible temptress. They glide as one, sinuous body, suddenly parting to strike a pose electric with smoldering drama. Their eyes are locked with scorching intensity, and their simmering passion leaves audiences breathless...and thrilled.

 

In Tango, Gene wears the ultimate dancer's dress, suggesting sensuous movement even when perfectly still. It is tailored of multi-layered coral chiffon with exotic beaded accents at the bosom, and a dramatic attached stole. Golden hoop earrings and bracelet add the finishing Latin touch to this beloved Hollywood film that becomes the date movie of the year.
