Propaganda

Rosalind Russell (His Girl Friday, Auntie Mame, The Women)—Hugely influential in her role as Hildy in His Girl Friday, Russell is perhaps the greatest influence on the character of Lois Lane. Catty, hilarious and charming, Russell is the blueprint for every sharp tongued transatlantic diva. In The Women she wears a series of incredible fits including a wonderful Schiaparelli dress covered in eyes. Later in her career she was the incredible Queer Icon Mame, a model of bohemian life that still resonates today

Nina Mae McKinney (Hallelujah, Pie Pie Blackbird, The Devil’s Daughter)—One of the first black movie stars, Nina worked with Bill ‘Bojangles’ Robinson, King Vidor, and Paul Robeson. She was the first Black Actress to be signed to one of the major studios, MGM, but her career was stalled by a lack of roles.

This is round 2 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

Rosalind Russell:

She's funny! She's glamorous! She stood up for herself! She took her own initiative to make sure her role in His Girl Friday was funny enough to stand up to Cary Grant!

Funny, fast talking, witty, triple threat, so charming that her husband of 35 years watched her in a movie and decided he needed to meet her and he was going to marry her, and got Cary Grant to arrange a meeting. Grant was best man at their wedding. Was a big supporter and funder of arthritis research and was honoured by Congress for her work in that field.

She’s just so fucking funny. She gave another woman a permanent scar from biting her leg in a scene and this is a story she herself told in interviews. This maybe true maybe not piece of IMDB trivia is never far from my mind: At the wrap party, Rosalind Russell was dancing with George Cukor, when Ernst Lubitsch passed her and said, "If you want more close-ups in the picture, never mind dancing with your director, you'd better dance with Norma Shearer!" Without missing a beat, Russell took Shearer's hand with a wink and danced her across the floor.

Nina Mae McKinney:

Hollywood's first Black vamp, and have you seen her dance? 👀

She has such delicate features and such a delightfully impish smile

Rosalind Russell propaganda like Roz is gorgeous, funny, quick, she doesn't take herself too seriously and she exudes this friendly fun energy that is like if you hung out it would be the best time like laughing the whole night away just living it up and I love that

Feeding and dancing with James Stewart

The duality of woman going from pilot fit to an evening gown

Eating ice cream in a parka, cutting a cake and that face at the stove

Does she not look like she would also have the best gossip

Beautiful Roz

Rosalind Russell in 'The Women' (1939).

George Cukor told Rosalind Russell to play the part of Sylvia very broad. 'Because in this picture Sylvia's breaking up a family, and there's a child involved, and if you're a heavy', Cukor told her, 'audiences will hate you. Don't play it like a heavy, just be ridiculous.' Of this advice Russell said, 'He was a hundred-percent right. I was frightened to death, but from then on, I did what he said, and everything that came to me from 'The Women' - namely, my reputation as a comedienne - I owe to George.. He was marvelous to work for, he could think of a hundred bits of business for every moment.'
