For me? It's Barbara Stanwyck in "The Lady Eve"
Jean > Eve
I want Gene Tierney to scatter my ashes likeshe does in 'Leave Her to Heaven'.

>>217839566She was also good in "Ball of Fire"
>>217839566Great film. My favorite Stanwyck performance and favorite Sturges film too. Ever noticed new things about films you've seen many times? Check out how soon Stanwyck enters the shot in this scene - she's "way, way back" as Fonda says to both Jean and Eve in the film.
>>217839630Can't believe JFK chose Jackie over her
>>217840927>Can't believe JFK chose Jackie over herAgreed. Insanity.
>When Gene Fowler Jr., my editor on the picture, heard that Stanwyck was going to do the falling-off-the-horse scene, he confronted me in the cutting room.>"You're out of your mind, Sammy!" he said.>"Why?">"What if something happens? The horse could step on her face. The picture isn't nearly finished. You've still got a lot of days to go with her. She's a big star.">"Well, nothing's going to happen. Barbara said she wanted to do it, and that's that," I said, ending the discussion.>Not only did Stanwyck do the stunt, she did it over and over. Because of technical problems, we had to reshoot the damned scene three times. You couldn't believe the dust storm we concocted. It was ferocious. We brought in an extra wind machine and threw in bags of stuff called Fuller's Earth, a brand of cement. I liked the wild effect it created. But the crap didn't feel too good in your mouth and your eyes, especially when they whipped it up to about eighty miles an hour. Barbara was a little bruised at the end of that day, but she never murmured a word of complaint. What a trooper!
>>217839566For me it's her in Double Indemnity
>>217839566For me? It’s Ball of Fire
>>217839566I don't get how the guy didn't realize it was woman he fell in love with later in the film . I guess a few years may have passed but they don't really make it clearIt just seems like she shows up a few months later and he's totally fooledanyways I like the movie. Screwball Comedy might be the pinnacle of Americana >inb4 westernsmeh
>>217843593One of the conceits of Hollywood is that all you need is a wardrobe change and different hair and you become unrecognizable
>Barbara was a little bruised at the end of that day, but she never murmured a word of complaint. What a trooper!My kind of woman.
>>217840927Jackie was a good wife though. Never marry an actress.

>>217842406One of the best ever. Funny, neardy, naughty.

>>217844999for me it's Night Nurse (1931)
>>217844999I like how they show her sleeping her way to the top via the camera outside the office moving to higher and higher floorshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMrwZjPEVi4>>217846410Throwing in Nietzsche like that was a weird sort of scene. Maybe they needed to come up with a reason to explain her actions later.
