Zasu Pitts.
twinkeee, it's not Ann Southern.
Here's another of her. She's sixteen:

I envy you. No, I hate you.
OK, you recognize this lady? It looks nothing like I'm used to seeing her:

You got it. Didyou know the photo?

On Apple computers, there is a program, called Preview, which can copy all or part of what is on the screen and save it as a PNG, JPEG, or other file. You can sellect what you want to save. I'm sure there is something in Windows that has a similar capability. Then you can go to the site tinypic.com and upload it and get an address for the file to paste into this thread in the plain text mode.
Here's what the homepage for tinypic looks like:
/post.gif]Choose a file on your computer, the file type (in this case, image), and resize it as you want. Click Upload Now, and enter the confirmation code provided. After you upload your image, you will see this:
/post.gif]Copy the IMG code for Forums and Message Boards between the
s. Then on this thread in the plain text mode, paste that where the dots are below:
(exclamation point). . . . . . /post.gif(exclamation point)
I can't type the exclamation points, otherwise the site will think I'm referencing a real address.
You can click on the preview tab to see if it worked.

That may be something you have to contact your cable (or other) provider about.

A lot of people believed George W. Bush would cut spending, also. Funny, huh?

One name forgotten here is Theda Bara, the original vamp.

There aren't any. I can think of one that comes close. It's the Zatoichi movies and TV series with Katsu Shintaro about a blind, itinerant, masseur/gambler/yakuza in samurai-era Japan. No great monument of filmmaking, but they are generally well directed, especially the early ones, and the stories are more than just an excuse for flashing swords.

Well, might as well name him, and move on to others.

I made this from a reording I made. Not the best quality, but it conveys the meaning:

If there were only a way to convey the roll of her eyes. . . .

McDonald's is popular, demonstrating the public's willingness to buy and consume inedible food. The Bond franchise is popular, demonstrating the public's willingness to pay for and sit through unwatchable films.

It certainly was. The unstated judgement of rape victims at that time was that they asked for it. If they had been acting like good girls, they wouldn't have invited the attack. Sadly, a viewpoint which still exists to a large extent around the world today, and even in the United States. One hardly needs to reference recent events.

There is nothing patronizing about my statement. The practice is a well recognized policy of the time. As was the racsim.

Films had to be shown all through the country. That means they had to be acceptable to southern white populations. While northern audiences would tolerate and pay to see movies with depictions of blacks amenable to slavery, southern audiences would boycott movies that showed the evils of slavery and slaves yearning for freedom, or fighting the plantation system. Thus, along with the expression of racism within the movie-making community, you get the message sent that slavery wasn't all that bad, and the slaves weren't all that unhappy with it. The corollaries are that the Union army, and particularly soldiers, are shown in a negative light (remember when Scarlet shoots the rouge soldier in Gone With the Wind), and in post-bellum movies, the former Confederate officer is the hero.

Last time I looked, no one was strapping you to your recliner and fixing the cable box on TCM.

Which demonstrates what a poor idea movie series are.

This may not be it, but give it a try:

It is eminently appropriate. A second rate TV show honoring a second rate movie series. Both of which go on too long.
Oh, that face, that fabulous face. Whose is it?

Blonde wasn't the color you know her by. She was a top actress in the forties. Here's another pic:
