JackFavell Posted September 5, 2009 I was trying to find a place to post some photos of my favorite underrated brunette, *Ruth Hussey*, but couldn't decide where it would be appropriate to do so. Blondes and Redheads have had their day here at TCM City, so I think it's time for Our Favorite Brunettes (thank you, MissGoddess for the title). Please feel free to post your thoughts on and photos of your favorite dark beauties.......the vixens or those smart gals that a man takes home after he has come to his senses.

MissGoddess Posted September 5, 2009 Alright, Jackieeeee! Those are some of the most gorgeous pictures of Ruth Hussey I've ever seen---I never realized how lovely her eyes were....and just look how adorable she is in that one pictures where she seems to be about sixteen years old...

JackFavell Posted September 5, 2009 I love that youthful photo of her - there are so few where she is really smiling and I think she is so charming when she does so. She reminds me a bit of Maureen O'Sullivan in that photo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JackFavell Posted September 5, 2009 Oh, she is breathtakingly young... I love Maureen. She is so good, whether she is playing a silly waif like Dora Spenlow or Henrietta Barrett, or a modern girl like Pauline in Hide-Out or Jane in the Tarzan movies.

She's a favorite of mine, too, for all the movies you name, and the original Thin Man and A Yank at Oxford (though I admit another saucy little brunette minx stole that one from Maureen And no, I don't mean Robert Taylor! ). Here's a nice color picture of Miss Hussey: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HollywoodGolightly Posted September 5, 2009 She looks truly stunning in color. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackFavell Posted September 5, 2009 I love that color picture, MissG! She looks so friendly. My mom had eyes like that, very straight on the bottom of the eye, with crinkly corners. Very comforting and warm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CineMaven Posted September 5, 2009 ...the vixens or those smart gals that a man takes home after he has come to his senses. :-) Nicely said. I can't post any pix (and too embarassed to ask for the umpteenth time). To paraphrase what Bob Cummings said on his tv show: I think I'm going to like this thread.

My mom had eyes like that, very straight on the bottom of the eye, with crinkly corners. Very comforting and warm. Your way with descriptions is so spot on! "Comforting and warm" is very true of Ruth. I just remembered another movie I saw her in, one of her last ones I believe: The Facts of Life. She plays Bob Hope's wife. I found this MovieMorlock's article on the actress: http://moviemorlocks.com/2006/10/30/remembering-ruth-hussey/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
