Jan. 26, 1944, Flo Ash

Jan. 26, 1944: “Flo Ash” is one of my favorite names from 1940s Los Angeles.  In 1940, she sued the Florentine Gardens and producer Nils T. Granlund over use of the nickname “Cutest Little Nudist.”

    According to the IMDb, she married the very same Pietro Gentile 2 1/2 weeks later, on February 14th.

    I can see other Cutie Nudies lining up at the courthouse contesting Miss Ash’s claims to be both cuter and nuder than they were. One has one’s professional and personal pride to uphold!

    I am the person who added the information about her marriage to Pietro Gentil on IMDb. I believe I had retrieved the information from newspaper archives. I also have another article on Flo Ash, which would narrow her approximate birth year if anything in the article is true. Although, I take anything printed in the article with a grain of salt. Plus another article in which she was arrested, though I would have to look for the article again.

    Let me know if you want any articles on her.
