I Found Stella Parish is a 1935 American melodrama film directed by Mervyn LeRoy and starring Kay Francis, Ian Hunter and Paul Lukas.
Determined not to submit to his blackmail, she books passage back to the U.S. on an ocean liner, traveling in disguise with her young daughter Gloria and her friend and confidante Nana.
Hotshot newspaper reporter Keith Lockridge befriends the trio on the sea voyage and renews his acquaintance with Stella, who seeks anonymity, when in New York.
On opening night, Stella refuses to take the stage, dreading her reception, but Keith appears backstage and draws her attention to Gloria and Nana, who are seated in the audience.
Miss Francis's unfortunate lisp continues to plague this corner: it makes even more unbelievable the notion that London could regard her Stella Parish as the Duse of the day.
