Fedya Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Actress who played Franchot Tone's love interest in 1935's Mutiny on the Bounty and later married Marlon Brando dies aged 98 She also sang the Carioca in Flying Down to Rio. Apparently she died last Thursday, but most of the obituaries are only from the past day or two. I didn't see an obituary post here. Movita with Brando and Debbie Reynolds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepiatone Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Was she CHRISTIAN BRANDO'S mother? She's certainly put up with MORE than her share of misery over the years. Too bad. RIP, finally, dear lady. Sepiatone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newclassicfilmfan1 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Anna Kashfi is the mother of Christian. Movita was the mother of Rebecca and Miko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeem Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 How strange that she co-starred in "Mutiny on the Bounty" (1935), and eventually lost Brando to Tarita, who co-starred in the 1962 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkblue Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Jeesh - Debbie Reynolds looks like one of Edgar Bergen's puppets in that photo. Least sexy actress since June Allyson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesJazGuitar Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Jeesh - Debbie Reynolds looks like one of Edgar Bergen's puppets in that photo. Least sexy actress since June Allyson. Saw parts of You Can't Run Away with It, a remake of It Happened One Night with Allyson and Jack Lemmon. What a stinker. Allyson was way too old for the part especially since she always looked about 10 years older than she actually was (which was 39 when the film was released in 1956). Lemmon and her had zero chemistry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arturo Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Jeesh - Debbie Reynolds looks like one of Edgar Bergen's puppets in that photo. Least sexy actress since June Allyson. I respectfully disagree. Debbie Reynold's is much sexier, and definitely much more beautiful and with a shapelier body, than June Allyson. Of course I refer to the adult Debbie, not the pert teen, say, after she lost Eddie Fisher. While no Liz Taylor in the fields I mentioned, she was a near knockout.in the early 60s.

I think this is the first time I take note of her last name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While no Liz Taylor in the fields I mentioned, she was a near knockout in the early 60s. I said "since", not "as". No leading lady ever was as un-sexy as Allyson. But Reynolds comes pretty close - never did anything for me, ever. That shiny, plastic-looking face with the pronounced eye-socket bones was just not "it". Daughter Carrie, now - she had some sex appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
