Glad she is mentioned. I used to have the DVD of The Barefoot Contessa. Another fave is Greer Garson. Just to say her name makes me happy.
Agree. But I was primarily interested in the fact that someone who is associated with the likes of Howard Hughes, John Huston, Gone With The Wind, is still alive today. And from the sound of it, she is still quite spry as well. Amazing.
Czech-born Mexican actress Miroslava Šternová. She committed suicide at the age of 30, over an unrequited love, shortly after completing a film for Luis Buñuel.
I’m going to have to find it. I’ve had it since the mid 90s. It’s a close-up, and the detail is so clear you can see that one is her fingernails is chipped. Rita could have had any man she wanted, but she continued to pick the wrong one over and over.
She was great in her first starring role, the 1946 version of The Killers. She had an unbilled bit part as a carhop in 1942's Kid Glove Killer that leaps out at you (that film also stars the criminally underrated Marsha Hunt, btw).
I first came across her hearing a song called 'Torero'. Lead to me buying a cd. Here she is in a movie
