The Sheik

Continuing my investigation of Gretchen Michaela Young (January 6, 1913 – August 12, 2000
On film stands out in regards to the title and year.  First of all you need to be aware that my daughter is living in Abu Dhabi, working as an Interior Designer ... for Sheiks.  At the moment they are working on a Theme Park that has over 30 restaurants, each of which follows a movie theme... like Cassablanca... or maybe THE SHEIK.  As well, she was born on January 21st.   So now with the information just provided, note this excerpt from Young's wiki page under Filmography:

1921

The Sheik

Arab child

So from here I go to the list of cast and peruse through looking for one in particular that stands out:

• Polly Ann Young (uncredited)

It's her surname, the same as Gretchen... maybe related?!  It doesn't matter, she's an addition to the recently formed "Young" pattern-cluster.  Now then note from her wiki page:

•  (October 25, 1908 – January 21, 1997)

 She died on my daughters birthday!! As well, her birthday is significant given that 3 of my partners family members were born on October 25, during different years.

So here are the other cast and info:

• Rudolph Valentino as Sheik Ahmed Ben Hassan (May 6, 1895 – August 23, 1926),
• Agnes Ayres as Lady Diana Mayo (April 4, 1898 – December 25, 1940

• Frank Butler as Sir Aubrey Mayo (December 28, 1890 — June 10, 1967) 
• Charles Brinley as Mustapha Ali

• Adolphe Menjou as Raoul de Saint Hubert
