Hi, Simon and Ann, She was amazing in African Queen. Unfortunately I never liked the movie that much, as one of my favourites, Humphrey Bogart was (I always thought) mis-cast in it.
Philadephia Story and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner are among my faves. Two things about her: She was beautiful, but it was an unconventional beauty. Not at all like the typical "Hollywood Starlets"; secondly, I can't think of another woman who aged as gracefully as she did. The chemistry between her and Spencer Tracey was truly unlike any other that I've witnessed on screen - that's why I enjoyed Guess Who's Coming to Dinner so much; they were so obviously in love and in synch with each other. Yup, another icon lost... regards, frank Simon King wrote: > Hi Ann, > Hear hear!
