Janet is way too dowdy a name to be a stage name for a star, even one from the 1930s.
I agree. But then, I always wondered why Frances Gumm had to become Judy Garland. I mean, Judy? Talk about dowdy. I like Frances better.
You know, I adore Eve Dallas. The woman herself absolutely cracks me up. Her very dry sense of humor suits me. When I first began reading the series, I was struck by her soft heart and vulnerability. That said, Strangers in Death was the first time I got really annoyed with Eve. I felt sorry for Suzanne Custer. She was a weak woman, dominated by an abusive husband and used by an evil Ava. Yes, she killed an innocent man. But Eve knows what it's like to be abused, knows the corners a person can be pushed into. I think she could have been a little more fair-minded where Suzanne was concerned.
As for the open-marriage thing...I can see Free-Ager Peabody being open about it. But Eve? No way. Despite it all, she's a bit of a prude.
