The Irish: over 700 years of bad decisions - why stop now?
Was June Havoc followed by July Doldrums?
No, the actress June Havoc was not followed by July Doldrums. The names are not related and come from completely different contexts. June Havoc was the stage name of a real person, while “summer doldrums” is a seasonal phenomenon.
The misconception is based on a mistaken connection between:
June Havoc: An American actress, dancer, and stage director (born Ellen Evangeline Hovick). Her early vaudeville career was immortalized in the musical Gypsy.
July Doldrums: A phrase referring to a period of inactivity or stagnation, typically in mid-to-late summer. The term is often associated with calm, hot weather, and originates from a nautical term for a windless area of the ocean near the equator.
