That beauty seemed so familiar! That look was very popular in the 40s-50s, so it was hard to figure. Finally discovered it was Gale Robbins.



Here's a gal who was in a jillion of them. This one shouldn't last very long:

That looks like a screen shot from the Kubrick's The Killing or maybe from The Narrow Margin, so my guess is Marie Windsor.

Right you are, CR. I didn't think that one would last long. What an icon she was.

I like her famous quote about her being the film noir queen: "I didn't know I was doing film noir, I thought they were detective stories with low lighting!"



Right you are, CR. That's Audrey Totter, and I believe that photo must be from Raymond Chandler's Lady in the Lake, starring Robert Montgomery. She was another great femme fatale.

I'm a fan of both those last two ladies.



I see Martha Vickers was in a western Four Fast Guns (1960), I might have to watch that one. I mainly know her from the one great film she did The Big Sleep.
