A Fabulous Discovery

"You'll never guess what I found out today," Jessica cried, bouncing up and down on her toes. "I found out who Mrs. Harrington really is!"
Mrs. Wakefield and Elizabeth stared at Jessica. "Who?" they cried in unsion.
Jessica pointed to the television set. "There she is. There's Mrs. HArrington!"
Elizabeth stared at the old black-and-white movie that was flickering on the screen. The face of the movie star that stared at her wasn't the thin, lined face of an old woman. It was the face of a beautiful young woman with high cheekbones and a dazzling smile.
Mrs. Wakefield gasped. "So that's where I've seen her!" she exclaimed.
"Thats right!" Jessica crowed triumphantly. "Old Mrs. Harrison is really Dolores Dufay, glamourous stage and screen star!"
