Citizen's Top 62, 1930s Actors & Actresses
My #27 Favorite 30's Actress is
Ruth Chatterton
Filmography Biography
As far removed from little Shirley Temple as one could get in 1930s Hollywood is 'bad girl' Ruth Chatterton. Ruth often played unscrupulous women with loose values, in early pre-code 1930s films.
Her film career goes back to 1929 and lasted only nine years. Her last film was in 1938. At one time she was one of the biggest stars, but she was also older than the then current crop of leading ladies by about 15 years, which limited her time in Hollywood.
Some of my favorite 1930s films of hers are:
The Rich Are Always with Us (1932)
Frisco Jenny (1932)
Female (1933)
Dodsworth (1936)

Also not conversant with her - already have a viewing lined up for this evening so she'll have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest
I first seen her when I watched a bunch of Pre-Code films on the Forbidden Hollywood series of DVDs.

I think we should probably end this here
Purely from the title I'm guessing it involves bukkake?

Watched Ms. Chatterton's Sarah And Son and Anybody's Woman this morning (both directed by Dorothy Arzner btw for those considering films for the 'directed by women' countdown) and she was decent in both - the former is a touch melodramatic and stilted in places for my particular taste but the latter played much more to my preferences and have to say I absolutely loved the titular usage.

Those are two I've never seen. The last one sounds rather juicy.
I see how you are doing it. I thought I would see them listed as 62, 61, 60, et.c. I like the way you are doing it better, actually. I never would've thought to do that.
I really don't understand why, but I always got a kick out of the title of this book. I don't know why. I just did.
I've always really enjoyed him. And how I am hoping Holiday makes the countdown! I really can't stress enough how much I love that film.
Don't really listen to what I say - I could be wrong , but in my mind Alice Faye was the one that Tony Martin called when he was drunk from backstage when he was in town (I think it was at one of the theaters my mom's uncle managed). Everyone out front could hear him. I guess he was really mad about whatever it was, but I am pretty sure that is who it was.
You saw Arsenic and Old Lace, right? He is in that one.

Have no idea who this is - Edward Everett Horton. Have heard Holiday is excellent though so i'll get to him at some point.
