I was able to locate an address with a New York agency, but I wonder if that is current. I was hoping to find a home address, actually. Anyway, I am trying to find out if she ever auditioned for the part of Sarah Jane in *Imitation of Life.* Holly wrote a very interesting letter to the NYT in 1968 lamenting the fact that she could not find work in Hollywood because she was too light skinned. *Imitation of Life* jumps to mind, immediately, considering that she made her first film in 1959.
