   I've seen a few movies she did in the early 1930s, plus her better-known later   
   films, but somehow, I never thought of her as a strong female representative   
   of that permissive era. Especially compared to, say, Jean Harlow!

   Check out the gorgeous B&W photos. Plus the incredible one from "Spitfire" - a   
   movie I never got to see.   
      
   And the other articles at that site are bound to eat up a LOT of my time. (I   
   stumbled on it when I was searching for something regarding Quentin Crisp.)
