I was thrilled to receive this email recently from David Green, the first husband of movie actress Joan Rice (1930-1997).
It simply said:
"I am alive and well and live in Las Vegas. Joan and my son Michael died over 10 years ago in the South of France. His 2 daughters live in Holland.
David Green."
David Green and Joan Rice
A week later David Green's wife sent me this lovely picture of Joan and David at their engagement in London. This must have been taken during the beginning of 1953 and quite possibly at The Kiss Korner club, which was owned by his father, the comic Harry Green. The Kiss Korner club encouraged the celebrities of the time to sign their autographs on the walls; if you look carefully in the top right hand corner some signatures can be seen.

How great that is to get that email and I can imagine your excitement. It now might just be possible to fill in some of the gaps - things that we have pondered over for years. David Green must be 81 years old now because I think he may have been 2 years younger than Joan. Thye had two grandchildren - I wonder if Joan knew them - I expect she would have done. Again more questions than answers but none the less an astonishing 'out of the blue' contact
