Wildroot, you sure know how to dig up the photos. I thought I had seen all the cool old Ingrid pictures, but I have never seen that one. When I was a young actress, I always wanted to look like her.
Probably one of the reasons Casablanca is one of my favorite films: it's got Ingrid, and Bogie, and Claude Rains, a wonderful actor. And Sydney Greenstreet, and....
Then, there is Bette Davis. I used to watch her films to see when she would give The Look that only she could give ("Bette Davis eyes!"). Like in The Little Foxes, when you know she is going to let her husband struggle for his heart medicine and die; in Now Voyager when she and Heindred give lingering looks over cigarettes; in A Pocketful of Miracles when she looks in the mirror after her transformation; in Mr. Skeffington, when she realizes he is blind and cannot see that she has become old and ugly; in All About Eve when she sits in the audience while Eve thanks her for helping her get to the top -- and if looks could kill, Ann Baxter would have become a cornflake.
Oh, there were so many of them, then.
