[Carlisle Blues]

ohhhhhhhhhhh i see!!!! lol lol

My Dearest Hadley

I am just being...well just being me. [huh]

 

[Hawkcigar]

Ah, the deadly female...so easy to love

The first two that came to my mind were:
Doris Dowling in The Blue Dahlia
Ida Lupino in They Drive By Night

Then I thought of what Hadley said...
Lizabeth Scott...that voice could make you do almost anything.
Marilyn Monroe in Niagra

 

[Mahagonny Bill]

Jan Sterling in Appointment with Danger. Not because she's bad and not because she's good, but because she's lazy. She always takes the easy way out, no matter who gets hurt in the process.

And don't forget that wink!

Of speaking softly-

It has to be Claire Trevor from "Born to Kill" - girl can't help it! She's just sick! Same deal in "Murder My Sweet". Have to love Claire!

Ruth Snyder.

When you say "fatal femme" you really mean FATAL, don't you, Miss Maine?

I'd go for Bebe Daniels in that string of homewrecker roles that she played for De Mille, with Gloria Swanson as the put-upon party. My favorite being, of course "Satan Synne, the wickedest woman in New York". Or perhaps not.

I don’t know about knock em dead style, or glamour. But the scariest one for me was Louise Fletcher as Nurse Ratchet in One Flew over the Cookoo’s nest.

Certainly scary! But was she of the era under discussion? I know that my definition starts earlier than some, but...

 

[Dennis Young]

And what era would that be? The 1[SUP]st[/SUP] post didn’t specify.
Actually she was talking about fictional females. So the post above about Mrs Robinson would be accurate. J
But as for film stars, my favorites of the type would have to be Hedy Lamar. I liked Claire Trevor in Murder My Sweet. Martha Vickers was a favorite in the Big Sleep. And Brigette Helm in a dual role in Fritz Lang’s wonderful Metropolis.
