She may not quite beat out the others in a photo (that depends on taste), but once that picture is moving....

My two favorites, unfortunately for this thread, are from the 50s/60s.

Tierney was beautiful, no doubt. One omission on my part, which I will now rectify, is Dolores Del Rio. Absolute babe back in the 20s and 30s (and good-looking even after that).

I'd never heard of her......looks like she was a real doll. I haven't watched much from the silent period, just a couple of classics, and all the Harold Lloyd movies. Not many made the transition from silent to talkie

Did you see the thread on old things you'd like to see back? I mentioned a railcar diner in town.......it was originally owned and operated by Robert Mitchum's family, and is known as the Hollywood Diner. They owned 6 of them throughout the state, starting in 1955, but his grandparents operated the one in the state capital themselves. Robert was a frequent visitor when he was not in Hollywood. He and Dorothy had their first meal there apparently, after they were married in the capital.

REMEMBER, KIDS: The search function is your friend... (We've had threads on this subject since like 2004!)

I did search, but apparently not hard enough. It's hard when you realize just how many posts/threads there have been here. The size of this forum is immense.

Apologies for re-treading old ground

She was one of the first, if not the first, female directors

I love me some Ida Lupino, for many of the same reasons you cited, but she most definitely was not the first woman to direct movies, not by a long shot. Alice Guy-Blaché, Lois Weber, Dorothy Arzner and others preceded her by decades.
