Classic Beauty: Lillian Bond
Born in London, but after a teenage stage career she moved to the U.S., where her Brit accent had no impact on her career because the movies were all silent. Then, when the talkies became all the thing, Lillian Bond‘s accent had, sadly, been submerged into Murkin.
None of that’s important, of course, because that’s not why we’re here. This is.

And now you’ll know who she is when her name appears in

Classic Beauty: Jane Greer
Doomed by her contract to stand forever in the shadow of Ava Gardner and Lana Turner (the studio’s favorites at the time), Jane Greer was once called “the greatest actress never to win an Oscar”. And it’s quite true: as the femme fatale in so much of the 1940s-era noir genre, she showed a sinister stillness about her roles that set her apart from the overacting of most of her female peers. I think I only ever saw her in Out Of The Past, in which she was every bit the equal of the brooding, brilliant Robert Mitchum.
So let’s have a look, shall we?
And out of costume:
Of course, no look at a noir actress would be complete without a gun:
Deadly.
