But it was Hollywood, so not really all that slutty if we're grading by cultural milieu standards.
I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Oh, yes. Dying of uremic failure looks like a thorougly unpleasant way to go.

She did a movie with William Powell, didn't she? But I think he ended up with Myrna Loy (naturally). I loved her in Bombshell and Red Dust.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Man, I don't know what a uremic is but I hope mine keeps on working.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I don't think Fred Pete has seen the 1950 Mexican melodrama Aventurera. But he should.
I'll check it out -- TCM has a salute to Mexican cinema next month.

At least a couple. Libeled Lady (with Spencer Tracy and Myrna Loy) comes to mind. But Clark Gable (Red Dust, Wife vs. Secretary) was the other half of her OTP.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Which, by '30s standards, is slutty.
But by Hollywood standards of the day was nothing very notable. She certainly wasn't in Clara Bow's class.

It is - in my opinion - the greatest melodrama of all time. It's in an interesting Mexican-only subgenre known as Cabaretnera - a sort of soap/noir/musical thingie. Great musical numbers, outrageous plot twists, and lots of shadowy atmosphere and criminal doings.
