That was very interesting.

[@robertdoherty2001]

Strangely underrated; sure, those in the know are reverent of her work - deservedly so - but she doesn’t have the iconic status of Hepburn (both), Davis, Crawford or Taylor. She could hold her own with anyone, and had amazing range.

[@wendyqallab6906]

She could play any role so great. I remember Mama was one of my favorites.

[@belenheredia2024]

Well sadly many stars of classic Hollywood are not popular names today, I mean Marylin Monroe level.. making miniseries, movies, documental about her.. even Davis and Crawford are underrated. STANWYCK GARBO DİETRİCH Dunne Rosalind Russell Myrna Loy Jeannette Macdonald Shearer Miriam Hopkins Louise Brooks etc etc Sadly Marylin still iconic for the things she hated, being labeled as a product not an actress..
