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. Very much agree, Marianne. So true about her and Lupino not getting the respect they deserved. Both held their own with everyone they ever worked with, from Cagney, Bogart, Bette Davis, whomever. And you've mentioned two more favorites (there are so many): Angels with Dirty Faces (1938) _01.jpg)  They Drive By Night (1940)  |
