Subject: Favorite actress of the 20's-60's?

Written By: xSiouXBoIx on 09/18/07 at 7:30 am

Mine would be either Bette Davis or Joan Crawford. I used to dislike Joan because of the whole Mommie Dearest thing. But I started watching her movies, and I think she is a really good actress, who isn't as hammy as most from those years.

I also really like Anne Baxter, who I think is underappreciated. I also think Mira Sorvino is a dead ringer for her!

I also think Greta Garbo is fascinating, but I think she's a little wooden in her acting :-\\.

Loren Bacall-she was then as she still is today-ONE CLASSY CHICK!!!
Ingrid Bergman-just absolutely beautiful
Mae West-definitely a "Brassy Chick" ;)
Grace Kelly-another absolutely beautiful woman

I'm sure I will think of others later.

Marilyn Monroe was a great comedian and so gorgeous! Too bad she had such a tragic life though.

Yes...she was great in Some Like It Hot. :D

As for TV actresses of this period, Lucille Ball would be one of my faves. O0

She was good on TV, but to be honest, I think she's terrible in the movies I've seen of hers from the 40's.

Yeah I spent an entire UC quarter researching the film for a film majors seminar a few years back. I picked the film apart- broke it down and analyzed every aspect of it. I should be sick of it but I'm not. I still love it. ( the 1959 version...)

The Ladies from Imitation of Life.

Lucille Ball

Viviam Leigh. (Does she looks like Liz Taylor to you?)

Dang I can't believe I missed that you mentioned Imitation of Life. I read too fast for my own good sometime....

Karma for giving props to one of my first favs.

Pretty good choices. I had a huge crush on Natalie Wood. I would add Myrna Loy. She is great in "The Thin Man" and "The Best Years of Our Lives." If you've never seen these two movies, have yourself a Myrna Loy film festival and watch them. (Actually, I just checked and "Thin Man" is on Turner Classic Movies today!)
