Anne Francis had an interesting career @Dragonpol. I know her mostly because of her roles in the SCI-FI classic FORBIDDEN PLANET (1956) and the noir adjacent film BAD BAY AT BLACK ROCK (1955). Of particular interest to we spy fans, she starred in the mid-1960s TV program “Honey West” over 30 episodes. Unfortunately, the program was cancelled after just one season, to make room for “The Avengers” (series 4, and the first with Diana Rigg) when they figured that doing that was cheaper.
Once ranked as one of the "50 Sexiest Stars of All Time" (number 18), for whatever reason her film career never really took off and she found her niche in appearing periodically in various TV roles (i.e., Colombo, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Dallas, Murder, She Wrote, etc..). She was, however, named checked in the theme to “The Rocky Picture Horror Show”, so she’ll always have that.
An absolute stunner IMO.
While certainly not the best actress of her era, she was one of the more notable "fem-fatales" of the classic film noir and Bogey once called her “Cinderella with a husky voice.” Those eyes and that voice …….. :x
FYI @ToTheRight: Apparently, I’m not the only person that has noticed the resemblance between Lizabeth Scott and actress Cara Delevingne.
Great choice, @Dwayne. You just helped me pick my film for tonight. I'm going with DEAD RECKONING, too. Good call on Cara Delevingne.

Gloria Graham rules! Kinda fell in love with her when I watched The Big Heat about 13 years ago, and fell even more when I watched In A Lonely Place a couple of years ago. ❤️
sorry for the double post

Did I have a school boy crush on her in my younger days? Of course. And I still do.

68? How is that even possible?
:D
It’s rare that a TV channel comes to play an important role in one’s life, but over the last eight years or so it has certainly been that for me. From Film Noir to Oscar winning classics to “off-the-wall” B-films, it has really been an education. And not just in film history.
To the extent that films reflect the concerns of society at large, it has provided a window into US history that I either was taught or have forgotten. For example, I was “unaware” of the political battles over the treatment of returning US servicemen in the aftermath of WWII. Yet, there it was; presented in a relatively minor film called VIOLENCE (1947) which centered on how groups attempted to take advantage of the economic concerns of veterans for ill noble aims. Very thought provoking.
And I’m not alone, last year when cutbacks at WB threatened the station, newspaper op-eds were written, viewers wrote letters and Hollywood heavy weights like Spielberg and Scorsese stepped in to protest.
To the current hosts (Ben Mankiewicz, Eddie Muller, Dave Karger, Alicia Malone and Jacqueline Stewart) a big shout out. And a big THANK YOU to Ted Turner and to the late Robert Osborne for helping to set this up.
