When I was a kid and watched her in movies such as They Drive By Night (as the wisecracking waitress) and Angels With Dirty Faces (in which she smacks James Cagney in the face and gets away with it), I wished I could grow up to be like her characters--wise, tough, and beautiful (none of those wishes came true). She and Ida Lupino didn't get the respect they deserved, while all the accolades were lavished on such charmless pieces of lumber as Hepburn and Crawford.
