I think Barbara Stanwick is a household name......Double Indemnity and Titanic were two of her most memorable. In double Indemnity she showed how bad she was by wearing an anklet...a sure sign of a loose woman in those days. In Titanic her co-star was Clifton Webb and her performance was wonderful. particularly when she realizes her son was left on the ship. She actually cried real tears as she thought of the sadness of it all....What an actress! I also love Richard Widmark for his body of work, Sidney Poitier....the first black man to win an academy award, and I loved Alec Guiness for his choice of black comedy roles.

This has got to be my all time favorate John Wayne movie. Although I have not appreciated the John Wayne style movies when I was younger, I have in recent years become a fan. I saw this movie first on TV in the late 1960's early 70's and love it then, but apprcieate it so much more now. Maureen O'Hara was so stunning in this technicolor classic, and the supporting cast was superb.

She was such a gutsy actress.....she was so good that she made you hate her. She was a true artist and a great loss to us all. Thank goodness we have her on film to remind us of her range and her right on target on the good, the bad and the clueless...she was one of the great ones.
