Frank Lloyd Wright's granddaughter, Anne Baxter

 

Priscilla Lane

 

Fay Bainter - Won Best Supporting Actress for Jezebel with Bette Davis - She was quite classy

 

Thelma Ritter.



In SO many movies, some true classics, and almost always a scene-stealer.

 

Viola Richard

 

• Bessie Love

 

Gale Sondergaard and Bette Davis

 

Yes it is, predominantly true.

 

• Olive Thomas

 

I like people to guess the actress or to show sufficient interest to try and find them until I couldn't remember.

 

I consider The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter a classic film,
so...
Sondra Locke.

 

A lot of favorites already mentioned. A favorite of mine that I didn't see mentioned is Märta Torén.

Have to add the amazing Anna Magnani to whatever I posted upthread. Posting this because we watched "Rome, Open City" the other night and she owned every but of screen time she had. Brilliant.

 

Joan Fontaine owns me for 1940 (Rebecca) and 1941 (Suspicion). And very beautiful as well as @EdgardV illustrated above.

Elizabeth Patterson.

 

Once went all gooey eyed seeing Danielle De Metz in an episode of The Man From Uncle.
