Who's your favorite fatal femme?

[Lotta Little]

Not limited only to film noir fans, of course! In your opinion, which fictional female had knock 'em dead style? I grew up wanting to be Brenda Starr, Girl Reporter, but for favorite femme fatale, it's gotta be Gilda with her black satin gloves.

 

[dahliaoleander]

Good one!

I'd say her or Phyllis Dietrichson (Double Indemnity)...

Of course there are SEVERAL others...

Louise Brooks in "Pandoras Box". No question.

I'll have to go with Julie Newmar, in almost anything.

 

[LizzieMaine]

Margaret Livingston in "Sunrise"

 

[dhermann1]

Ellen Berendt Harland, as played by the magnificent Gene Tierney, in "Leave Her to Heaven", 1945. Very very fatal, not to mention deadly.

 

[imoldfashioned]

Number one is Cyd Charisse in the Broadway Rhythm ballet but I really like Jean Simmons in Angel Face too (great final scene).

She's not really fatal but I always loved Dorothy Malone in The Big Sleep.

My favourite?

 

[St.Ignatz]

Hedy Lamarr . Some women just transcend their acting ability.

 

[dhermann1]

Hedy

Ah, yes. Hedy Lamarr. Must see flick: "Algiers". Where ultimate chick flick meets great film noir, meets several other genres. And if you can find it, the original French version, "Pepe Le Moko", with Jean Gabin.
Oh, and if you can find it (getting back to Hedy), "Ecstasy".

Sarah Palin

Of speaking softly-

[Fletch]

Mary Astor

Always either the wrong woman or the woman wronged. With sad dark eyes and a delicate elegance, Mary was a Midwest river-town girl of German-Portuguese-Scots-Irish heritage, but she spoke and carried herself like the blue-chip society dame her name evoked. Yet she always betrayed something deeper. Something that could be passionate or desperate, loving or cruel. Something you wanted to protect, or savage, or both.
