  1. Also, let's not forget Peggy Ann Garner's superb performance as Jane Eyre (1943), when she was a liitle girl (later grew up to be Joan Fontaine)...Liz Taylor (then 10 or 11 years old), played her friend at the poor reformatory/boarding school to which her wicked aunt (Jane's) sent her...

  2. Jackie Coogan in "The Kid" is unforgettable...such a lovely child & face....it's hard to think he grew up to be Uncle Fester in "The Addams Family" sitcom of the sixties, not that he isn't enjoyable, he's a great comedian....but you couldn't possibly tell he's the same person who as a child acted in that marvelous Chaplin film.

  3. I agree with MJoe in what he says about Norma Shearer...

     

    Well Marie Dressler, ZaSu Pitts, Mary Boland, Patsy Kelly, Marjorie Main, Charlotte Greenwood, Agnes Moorehead, Judith Anderson, were all tremendously "attractive" in their own special ways

     

    Attractive but not beautiful could also apply to Bette Davis, and well to Joan Crawford from the late 1940's onwards...strong appeal.

     

    Barbra Streisand also has "sth"..especially in the way she looked from the mid '60s to the early '70s...Fannie Brice too was appealing....

     

    On the other hand one actress who's really beautiful, and hasn't been praised enough for it, was lovable & lovely Ann Sothern...

     

  4. You're so right...Bed Of Roses is an "unknown" gem, and Pert Kelton really steals the show....although Connie Bennett is in great form too...and has excellent chemistry with leading man Joel McCrea. Wonderful pre-code.

     

    The same happened in "The Mystery of the Wax Museum" (1933), although Fay Wray is the star...Glenda Farrell steals the movie from her

  5. I have a copy of Theodora (VHS) it's great!!!! And Tovarich is a very funny movie too...Colbert's such a fine comedienne...The Palm Beach Story, Without Reservations, Midnight, superb!!

     

    Well Irene's great too in The Awful Truth and My Favorite Wife (which will be released on dvd for the first time, on June 1st, in a Cary Grant Warner Home Video Package, that will include too: Night and Day, Destination Tokyo, The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer and Mr. Blandings builds his dreamhouse)....I've already pre-ordered it!!!

  6. Definitively Hedy Lamarr (at the time of I Take this Woman), Gene Tierney (at the time of Leave Her To Heaven), Grace Kelly (at the time of The Swan), Vivien Leigh (at the time of Lady Hamilton) and Elizbeth Taylor (at the time of A Place in the Sun), in that order.
