She played the woman Rochester threw over for Jane. Ah, bliss. :)<br /><br />You've very welcome, Dorian.

Nigel Bruce and Hilary Brooke made sense, having been in a SHERLOCK HOLMES thriller or two, as well as Robert Armstrong. I was sorry to hear that Alice Pearce, BEWITCHED's first Gladys Kravitz, died young of ovarian cancer. Perhaps she'd still be alive and stealing scenes today if they'd had better cancer treatment back in the 1960s. In any case, thanks for sharing the backgrounds of these memorable actors!DorianTBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357778472575080022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-38200318575309920532012-03-10T10:44:24.112-05:002012-03-10T10:44:24.112-05:00If you see him on film, Lauren, you could never gu...If you see him on film, Lauren, you could never guess he was from Oklahoma.

I read a fascinating article in Esquire years ago by a photographer who had done shots of many celebrities. He said that of all the stars he'd photographed, only Marilyn Monroe and Robert Redford had skin that actually seemed to glow under the lights.Mark D.
