...Twenty-two year old Teresa Wright, now appearing on Broadway in "Life With Father," says that as far as she's concerned, glamour-girl roles are OUT. "I'm an actress," she insists, "not a sweater girl." Miss Wright has a five year contract with Sam Goldwyn which allows time out for stage work, which remains her first love. She will soon be seen on screen "high up in the cast" with Bette Davis in "The Little Foxes."...
What does the original Sweater Girl think about Ms. Wright's comments:
Probably a good example of what you were talking about yesterday, Lizzie, as I bet the artwork here (very hazy) is impressive in its original form. As to story, we'll have to see how it develops, but it isn't going to sit well with current views.
No kidding, you can't always move them even with pliers and a lot of leverage and I doubt she had any WD-40 with her.
I feel the same way. I'm enjoying revenge-driven Kay, but, oy, why schlepp Irwin along?
I caught a snippet of a pre code Tarzan and Jane taking a swim, a quite revealing scene all the more surprising
for its innovative approach as much as Jane's nudity. A real swinger swim, still chaste yet.
Pretty famous scene filmed with a body double for Ms. O'Sullivan who claimed, later in life, that she had the body double, not for modestly, but because she felt "claustrophobic" in water. I don't know, maybe? She certainly didn't need a body double physically.
... Hey, Hill -- no cracks about "Group Theatre actors." I studied acting with one, and I can guarantee I never once saw her wearing shorts. Well, OK, once. And it was in the middle of the winter. A sense-memory exercise. And yeah, OK, I'll admit the rest of the class looked about like this. That's me in the back, telling that guy I'm not gonna play the scene with him if he doesn't stop blowing smoke in my face....
While we're on the subject of recycled stories, didn't we already have a Hill one on "City Slickers in the Country" some time ago?
Honor amongst thieves and all that. And talk about hanging a gun loudly, my God, nothing subtle about the doorbell gadget.
From what I read at the time (not holding myself out as an expert), panel six and seven explain what happened to JFK Jr. and his wife.
Also, what the heck, Mosley tossed in some gratuitous cheesecake in panel six.
Caniff is a master storyteller. He set this up perfectly for Sunday right down to the torpedos going toward the ship in the final panel.
