Vivian Duncan Marries Swedish Film Star Nils Asther
Vivian Duncan of the Duncan Sisters married Swedish film star Nils Asther in Reno Nevada. The couple’s three year romance culminated in a private ceremony despite attempts to keep it secret. The bride, still using the stage name Little Eva, and Asther were both single, over 21, and left for Lake Tahoe after the ceremony. The announcement follows a prolonged engagement and earlier publicity around Duncan’s hospital treatment and a separate incident involving Rex Lease.
