[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 380799, member: 7"] She was touted the "Queen of the B-movies" for many years, just like Fay Wray and Lucille Ball before her. I think a lot of Windsor's movies are free to view on YouTube, but I could be wrong. I've seen nothing of Sidney's work outside of WKRP and BEETLEJUICE. She was labeled "box office poison" in 1949 after a few years of flops damaged her popularity. Interviews she gave late in life have changed my opinion on Allyson. She seems to have been a pleasant and genuinely nice woman. While her movies may not have been top-tier, I am curious to see at least a few of them -- one day anyway. I wouldn't mind seeing Henie's SUN VALLEY SERENADE or WINTERTIME, two of her final films before retirement. Overall, though, I don't think she'd be terribly intriguing. Her reviews are pretty bad, and the general consensus is she was a bad actress -- which hasn't stopped me from liking other actresses. I think Williams is a beautiful woman and the majority of her movies are beautifully photographed. Like Betty Grable at Fox, Williams' fluffier musical romances paid the bills as MGM and allowed the studio to gush larger amounts of money into their more "prestigious" pictures. Williams eventually got fed up with the studio and walked in 1956. [/QUOTE]
