Academy Award Winner!

 

The perfect casting of Irene Dunne and Fred MacMurray in a new radio series, produced the howlingest hit ever to hit the air waves.

 The lovely two-time academy award winner, Irene Dunne is co-starred with Fred MacMurray in this gay, new excting comedy adventure series, "Bright Star".

After reviewing the script of "Bright Star", Irene Dunne commented that the part of the lady editor was a lead she has always desired to play. Her success with comparable comedy leads in the movies is a good indication that it is the type of role she is famous for.

 The role of the bumbling, good natured ace reporter is perfectly suited to Fred MacMurray. His million of fans have consistently demonstrated at the box office that it is just the type of role they love to see him in.
