Just saw this film on the big screen the other night and never noticed Beverly Aadland in the film as a highlighted extra. No author has ever mentioned it to my knowledge (except for her listing in IMDB) and her brief moment on screen is pointed and obvious. More than likely, Flynn, having just met her while shooting the film, had her added to the scene. When I get to my research on TMTS at the WB Archives I will certainly look for more official crediting of her involvement–and, for my Chronicles–the actual date in which she appeared.

Is it possible that she is also in “Roots of Heaven”? In the scene where Morel spoils the party at Orsini's house, there is a young lady in a white dress dancing who looks like Beverly, too.

Hi Robert!
Can't wait to see what you find out during your next trip to WB archives! I don't recall it being mentioned in any of the books I've read. I'll go back through them tonight to see if I find a reference for you.
Well done.

I just got my copy of the book “The Big Love” by Florence Aadland and on page 74 Florence states Beverly is in the scene at the press party for Diana Barrymore – Too Much Too Soon.
Further on she mentions on page 112 Beverly has a part in “Roots of Heaven” as a dancer.
I need to rewatch both films but I'm sure the blonde I remember Errol stopping and gazing at in Too Much Too Soon is Beverly.

Thanks, then I was right, too, in “Roots” she is a dancer in a white dress at the party that is spoilt by Morel.
