I refer to my post of 18 March.
I will get those movies added to the page. I have also given this page a serious website facelift. Thanks for the feedback.
I am currently doing an analysis of Dorothy’s career and this page has been most useful to me in my efforts. Her career at the top was sadly brief; but she was in many movies outside her peak years
that were reasonably-popular, but with some of which not everybody would immediately associate her – Martin and Lewis’ 1953 Scared Stiff for example
(I myself had forgotten she was in that one, Lizabeth Scott and Carmen Miranda being the top-billed females)!
Within that context this is a very comprehensive page that has done well to round up 36 of Dorothy’s films across the ages. I knew that she was in minor films such as Tension at Table Rock,
Pushover, Law and Order with Reagan, and Quantez but -would you believe it! –I didn’t notice her in the much later smash hit Basic Instinct. She was near 70 in that so either maybe I didn’t spot her as she had aged – or by 1992 my own eyes had aged!
Anyway, perhaps that was an appropriate movie to be her last one, given the subject matter of the movie, and that her own wayward nymphomaniac Marylee Hadley
in the classic Written on the Wind opposite Rock was probably her finest big screen performance – and a supporting Oscar-winning one at that.
Nevertheless there is a thread running through this matter that dictates that even an excellent statistical and wider-informative document that the page undoubtedly is,
can (from my perspective) be made even more valuable by the addition of The Nevadan starring Randolph Scott.
One of my own favourite actors is Cary Grant; and I learned just recently from a new Grant documentary that, whilst I always knew he and Randolph were friends,
what I didn’t know was that “Randy” was in fact “Archie” ‘s own favourite actor above all others (except maybe himself!).
Also Randy, along with Wayne, was my late father’s all time favourite and as a youth I loved watching Scott movies myself, and Wayne’s – very relaxing.
Thus (and now that I know that he was Archie’s top actor)I always like to see Scott get the available credit for his films, even on another star’s page.
A flick of the Cogerson computer keys/ buttons should do the trick as Dorothy is listed in the co-star link for The Nevadan on Randy’s own Cogerson page.
as indeed (fair play) she is for Tall Man Riding opposite Randy on both his page and this one as well. I always liked that movie though felt that maybe it was tailor-made for Alan Ladd!
The great performances Dorothy gave in the more-meaty Written on the Wind, Battle Cry and Too Much Too Soon as the self-destructive Diana Barrymore, with Flynn as famous dad John, shows how Dorothy
was for a large part of her career wasted in roles usually designed for starlets in those B westerns as merely the romantic interest for the cowboy heroes.
But then the great Woman’s Era in Hollywood was probably the thirties/forties and Dorothy’s career largely- developed in the 1950s when pretty young women such as she tended to be mere props for ageing major male stars like Gable, Cooper and of course Archie and Randy.
“Fully many a gem of purest ray serene
The dark unfathom’d caves of ocean bear
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen
And waste its sweetness on the desert air.” [Gray’s Elegy – 1751]
Hello Bruce,
I am sorry for miss Malone, i know her in one film The Big Sleep, but i never forget her,
Simply because she was terrific with her Glasses , in a book seller and i was young of course but i never forget when she take off her glasses, close the door, close the curtain and then came back to Bogart with that smile…. by the way it was on TV…..and befor midnight….
Of course i saw her in TV with Payton Place and in fact i have learn the new of she passed away by your site;
Have a nice day
Pierre
Hey Pierre….it was indeed sad news to hear of her passing. Well…the one movie you know….The Big Sleep is the highest rated movie on our page….so I think you have picked a good one to know.
Sorry UMR was the bearer of the bad news. I have seen added 4 more movies to the page….as I found some late 1940s movies since doing the first draft.
Appreciate the visit and the comment.
Hello Steve,
I saw your video about Crawford, Davis and Lombard, but i am not on facebook so every time i want to put a comment, i cant.
Like i said before, i really dont care about feud between Crawford and Davis like between Garbo and Dietrich, but it was really good to see your Lombard video because the music was a VALSE ( in french) and i think that for the queen of screwball comedies it is exactly what we want to hear simply because she was like Champagne, so WITTY, i hope it is correct in english and in french so PETILLANT.
I read your comment between Garbo and Crawford, i know that story but for Grand Hotel there is a lot of anecdotes;
I read several time that during the filming when she was in her loge Crawford on her record player listen Marlene Dietrich records and of course very load because Garbo was just the next loge;
And there is a photo with all the cast even Garbo BUT the legend say that she was not here the day of the take and it was a touch up ( i hope it is good ) and if you look that photo, the only one with all the cast , you will see Garbo in a different way that the others actors;
Anyway there is on you tube the filming of the premiere of Grand Hotel with all the stars of the films plus Harlow , Dietrich, shearer , Mayer etc but no Garbo
See you
Pierre
Hello Pierre, thanks for checking out my videos. Why do you need facebook to comment?
Interesting info on Garbo, so she wouldn’t even pose for a group photo for publicity? hmmm well I’m not a fan, never was. I’ve only seen her in two films – Grand Hotel and Ninotchka – and between you and me I don’t know what the fuss was all about.
Now Myrna Loy on the other hand… there’s a lady… attractive, hardworking and friendly too… everyone loves Myrna. 🙂
Hey Steve…..right there with you…..everyone loves Myrna……lol.
