Beautiful pictures PT. Aggie's features remind me in a way of Aline MacMahon.

Going through your thread here, Professional Tourist. Wonderful. Gale Sondergaard and Anne Revere and Judith Anderson and your "Aggie" were quite a quartet in film history. To me they played this...sort of type that I'd describe as handsome, sternly beautiful; frustrated; evil; patrician; vulnerable chameleons. Ha! They were all sisters under the mink.

Loved the clip of "Dark Passage" one of my favorite films. The twist got me! I thought Moorhead was venomously sexy as Madge.

"Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte" will be coming on today on the Fox Movie Channel at 1:30pm.

Thanks for the heads up King R, I meant to tape the last showing, but fell asleep and forgot.

I have such greater affection for Agnes as I've discovered her pre-Bewitched work and, even looking at that show, she gains a greater appeal. That TWILIGHT ZONE episode has her bedraggled, unkempt, shot in such unflattering lighting, conditions, cramped, dirty-looking sets. And she is positively magnificent in it. From the first time I'd ever seen it (as a wee lad), I was cheering for her, then wonderfully stunned by the ending. But I still cheered for Agnes. I want to say something like sounds odd, but "she aged SO well."
