Early Portrait of Rosemarie de Salle, Youngstown. OH.
Rosemarie in NYC, 1937
The Czopur Archive is the result of three women who assembled, inherited, and maintained the photographs and other memorabilia from the lives of Block and Sully. The archive is Eva's history with Jessie, inherited by Rosemarie de Salle, and then passed on to Rosemarie's niece, Linda Czopur, who now maintains the collection. Rosemarie de Salle's work in production for the entertainment industry brought her in contact and friendship with many entertainers who were also friends with Block and Sully. Rosemarie worked for MCA (The Music Corporation of America) between 1946 and 1962. For 5 years during that time she was the assistant to Daniel H. Welkes, MCA's supervising producer of NBC's "Coke Time" starring Eddie Fisher.
