Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
If her career tanks, she'd do well in Hallmark/Lifetime movies-of-the-week based on Lavyrle Spencer books (mostly set in the Depression, featuring dirt-poor but hardworking women looking for love).

Woe to the fucking wicked.
She could make a really nice Alexandra if they ever do another O! Pioneers.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
She's too raw-boned.
She's also quite a bit too skinny to be a proper 40s siren, no? Need something to fill out that bullet bra, and the idealized cheekbone did not have a hollow below it in those days.
I don't know a thing about her acting, but her looks are very distinctive, and not in any of the several "classic Hollywood" ways.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She looks like she's packing a C -- how big do you need to be for a siren? Given padding technology too?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Anyone watch Their Eyes Were Watching God last night?

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
The thing with Swank is, she's very good at the kind of role she does (downtrodden but strong-willed) but I don't think she has much of a range.
I'd tend to agree. In anything else, she's more wooden than a lumberyard.
She was great in Beverly Hills 90210. Where she, in fact, played a downtrodden-but-strong-willed single mom who managed to make a living on the Peach Pit's waitress salary.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
She's playing a period siren with Scarlett Johansson?
Oooh. If there's a catfight between those two, I'd totally watch. Johansson would try to scratch Swank's eyes out, then Swank could just scoff in derison and punch her face in.
I initially read the title as "Blue Dahlia" and thought they were remaking the Veronica Lake/Alan Ladd pic. Whew.
