Propaganda

Ann Sothern (A Letter to 3 Wives, The Blue Gardenia)_ Another unsung comedienne of the 30s and 40s, not enough people know about Ann Sothern. She was, along with her bestie Lucille Ball, originally a Goldwyn gal, but was soon a featured star in pictures. She even headlined a series of films, the Maisie movies. And though she was known for her comedies, but I fell in love with her after her dramatic role in A Letter to 3 Wives. I also absolutely love her in the noir murder mystery The Blue Gardenia. She was absolutely stunning, and I am always excited to find a movie of hers to watch. She's high on my list of "Why don't more people talk about her?" actresses

Ruth Hussey (The Philadelphia Story)— I would ditch Cary Grant, James Stewart AND Katherine Hepburn to marry Liz in the Philadelphia Story

This is round 1 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.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut]

Ann Sothern:

She was so beautiful and had great comedic timing!

Ruth Hussey:

okay! i have an announcement!

i don’t know how many of you in the tgg fandom outside of the gatsbin know this film exists, but there was a version made in 1949, starring alan ladd (jay), macdonald carey (nick), barry sullivan (tom), betty field (daisy), and ruth hussey (jordan)

it’s certainly interesting, and not super accurate to the book (dialogue tags scott, dialogue tags, PLEASE DEAR GOD scott you’re confusing people). this movie went through a lot of screening because of the hayes code, and a lot of stuff was taken out. it was also made more of a gangster/film noir type film—alan ladd, had, to that point, made mostly film noirs, and was starting to get into westerns, so that doesn’t help with accuracy.

BUT.

i can’t find a copy of any sort of script for it online. my goal, over christmas break, is to create a script of at least the dialogue, the setting and maybe some of the mood the music gives. perhaps some important actions if there’s no dialogue ( ex. jay punching a guy, the first flashback giving historical context etc)

so! my christmas break is the 23rd to the 8th, and my hope is that i can have this out before i go back to school. i’m not sure where i’m going to put it, but it will be posted on this account, and perhaps ao3 if i can figure out how to post a script sort of thing there.

Julie doing “stuff” with famous people (17th post)

Behind the scenes of BODY AND SOUL, director Robert Rossen rushes behind Julie. Rossen was a screenwriter for three of Julie’s earlier films: DUST BE MY DESTINY, THE SEA WOLF, and OUT OF THE FOG.

Before a scene is filmed for HE RAN ALL THE WAY, a camera crew member test tones on Julie and Shelly Winters with a light meter.

Julie, Jennifer Jones and director, John Huston get a kick out of a visitor to the set of WE WERE STRANGERS.

Richard Conte and Ruth Hussey take in an event with Julie as spectators. Not sure what the event was but they seem to be enjoying their conversation.

Julie with Ramon Novarro on the set of WE WERE STRANGERS.

In the first Hollywood Players radio program, Rex Harrison, Julie and Gregory Peck present flowers to Bette Davis after her performance of a one-act play based on Charles Dickens' "The Old Curiosity Shop” in 1946.

Julie and Gregory Peck in a still from GENTLEMAN’S AGREEMENT.

AND…Julie and Oscar Levant in a still from HUMORESQUE.

A publicity shot featuring Julie and Cary Grant makes use of a DESTINATION TOKYO still to tout war bonds, the movie and the stars.

David Niven visits Julie and Lily Palmer on the set of BODY AND SOUL.

by my count eleven actresses who appeared in the women are competing in this tournament: norma shearer, joan crawford, rosalind russell, paulette goddard, joan fontaine, marjorie main, ruth hussey, theresa harris, lilian bond, betty blythe, and of course, terry

Yes!

If you'd like to watch The Women for yourself, you can currently stream it on Tubi for free. I recommend this movie in a general sense, as it's a fun time if you like watching very rich, bad white women be rich and bad—think a Kardashians or Real Housewives situation but with a bunch of 1930s dames who want to chew the scenery. But I need to add the warning that this film has a very problematic relationship with the WOC in it, including hot lady contestant Theresa Harris (who plays a maid). The only Black women depicted are servants, most of them are not in speaking roles, and the few that have lines are depicted as racist caricatures (also, one is talked about in a racist manner by a few white characters in one scene). These scenes and interactions don't take up a lot of the running time, but they're still there, and I won't fault anyone for not wanting to watch it because of that.
