rainingviolets21 Posted April 8, 2008 O'Brien, Margaret ~ child actress, considered a genius by some, stole the movie Meet Me In St' Louis with her stunning performance as Tootie, showing her morbid side by being fascinated by death ie; killing her dolls and giving them a proper buriel, her film credits include the child in Jane Eyre, (complete with french accent) and the creepy child in Unfinished Dance opening the trap door to allow a dancer to fall and injure herself ..she also played Amy in Little Women, her finest performance which gave her a superb death scene... .

rainingviolets21 Posted April 8, 2008 Quinn, Anthony - superb actor who excelled in every aspect of the great variety of roles given him watch him as the heavy in City for Conquest, then later in Zorba the Greek or as Paul Gaugan in Lust for Life what impresses most is his longivity and his versitility...and underscored in all his performances was a verile manliness that gave his acting extra punch...
