There is almost nothing about May Moniz on the web. There are some outstanding reasons why May Moniz, who is only 17 years old, has already become one of the most photographed lovelies on Oahu — as any fool can plainly see. Her talents include dancing in various USO shows which have toured the island, as well as sitting around swimming pools occupying black silk bathing suits like this.
The photo is by our incredible Cpl Harold Klee, who spent two long years out here photographing Oahu beauties as a hobby. He is now Down Under, where his opportunities are slightly more curtailed. Who was May? Which one is our May I have no idea. One lived with her widowed mother, younger sister and lodgers, the other with her aunt and uncle and younger sister.
Unfortunately, all mentions of May afterwards are nonexistent. May L. The family moved to California several years after her birth and lived there at least from Maurice and Fannie divorced in the mid s, and Sylvia stayed with her mother. The two lived in Beverly Hills , with Sylvia working as a dancer since high school.
She danced ballet originally, and by was a part of the Ada Broadbent Ballet troupe. Various newspaper articles claimed she studied music and composition in France and Switzerland.
While this could be true, it means that she lived in the US and commuted to France and Switzerland during the s. Sylvia spoke flawless French, and this later helped her land movie roles.
