NOTE


Although I haven't seen so many of her movies, I'm always impressed with her marvelous eyes. They are so mysterious as to make me think if she had appeared in more of such movies that require mysterious personalities, she might have been known by the audience better than she actually was. As a proof of this, she was very effective in the movie "Ice Palace"(1960) where she played a woman who was torn between Richard Burton and Robert Ryan, or rather tore them with her eyes always implying something but never actually showing what it is. Also, she was in that famous Monroe's movie "The Seven Year Itch"(1955). Though she appeared in a very brief scene as a nurse seducing Tom Ewell in Ewell's reverie, I think she was already revealing her talent even in that brief moment. Unfortunately, she died of cancer in 1983.
