"Barney Sloane...That's my new name...My old one's a little more Italian."
Love Giuletta Masino in her work with Felini, my favorite Italian Director.
Also like Louise Brooks, wish I knew the problem that she had with the studios about the movie The Cannary Murder Case.
In many movies they have role more stronger than the leading actor.
As a femme fatalle: Ann Savage in Detour.
Not her best but I like to quote Claudette Coulbert's Imitation of a Life, seems that it was the first movie that a woman became very sucessful in her business without the help of a man.
There are 2 weird one.
Rebecca (by Hitchcock)although never seen or heard, Rebecca ruled the family.
In "A letter for 3 wives) not seen only heard: Addie Ross (Celeste Holm'a voice)every woman wanted to be like Addie Ross.

The Quick and the Dead w/Sharon Stone

"St. Joan" is one of my favorites. Jean Seberg was very good.
The two Elizabeth films with Cate the Great were also excellent.
Ditto "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie".
