25 Days of Actress, Part three!
Inspired by Be Kind Rewind’s video series for the month of December, here are the first movies I recommend you check out, if you haven’t already. These are all movies that are pre-2000, and feature a performance by an actress that I enjoy (and the actress did not win Best Actress or Best Supporting Actress for the role).
These are in no particular order!
17. Allison Janney in Drop Dead Gorgeous
I love this movie so much. It is an incredibly underrated cult comedy from the late 90′s, and I may even consider it to be my favorite comedy (made after 1960, at least). This movie is a mockumentary about a beauty pageant in small town MN, and they follow around contestants and discover the “ugly side of beauty”. It’s just...so great. And Allison Janney plays the friend of Kirsten Dunst’s mom....she’s basically the cool aunt. Loretta is caring, protective, flirtatious, and absolutely hilarious. Janney absolutely nails the comedy in this film, and Loretta gets some of the best lines.
18. Hayley Mills in The Trouble with Angels
So, the reason why I didn’t talk about Hayley Mills in The Parent Trap in part two was because I wanted to talk about her performance in this movie! Mills plays Mary, a young girl sent to live in a all-girls Catholic boarding school (run by Rosalind Russell!), and the film follows the hijinks of Mary’s “scathingly brilliant ideas” along with her best friend, Rachel. Mary is the rebel of the two friends. She comes from an unhappy home, and really has no one who cares about her, outside of the school. She’s quick-witted and sharp, but also vulnerable and lonely...she knows how to have fun, but seems to understand when to back off. The movie follows the characters over three years of school, and it’s interesting to see how Mary changes...you almost don’t notice until you watch it again, and you see the layers in Mills’ performance.
19. Madeline Kahn in Clue
What can I say about this performance that hasn’t already been said?! Madeline Kahn as Mrs. White gives one of the most hilarious comedic performances I have ever seen. Mrs. White is cunning and ruthless, but she barely lets any of that show underneath her cold and aloof exterior. But as the night goes on, she starts to “let loose” a bit. There have been plenty of times when I’ve gone back to re-watch scenes, just so I can watch her in the background. She has some of the most interesting bits of physical comedy...sometimes only shown in a tiny gesture or a double-take. But it is genuinely brilliant.
20. Susanna Foster in Phantom of the Opera
My favorite Phantom adaptation and my favorite Christine! As a kid, I just watched the movie and enjoyed it...but now, as an adult, I am in awe at how good her performance is. Foster’s Christine is kind, sweet and caring, with a wonderful vulnerability....you just want to take care of her! I was amazed at the fact that in the final lair, she is legit trembling! That is not easy to do and make it look real...but I also love her Christine’s intelligence (like when she tries to convince Claudin to take her to the foyer so she can sing for him), and her ambition. She may be in a love triangle, but her career is important to her and she makes that known. She’s just great.
21. June Allyson in Little Women
And now we’re into my favorite Little Women adaptation and my favorite Jo March! I just watched this movie again the other day, and it just gives me a warm, safe feeling. June Allyson inhabits the character of Jo March so well, that in this particular film, I could not imagine another actress playing the role. She really shows the fiery side of Jo...you can tell that she is someone who just says whatever pops into her head, and there are some nice comedic moments as a result. And it’s nice to see how she matures by the end of the film. You can feel Jo’s passion for her writing, whether it’s by instructing Amy on how to act a scene or making herself cry at how wonderful her latest story is. And she has wonderful chemistry with everyone onscreen, especially Margaret O’Brien, who plays Beth. During that final scene between the two, you really feel how difficult this is for Jo, and you want to cry right along with her.
22. Margaret O’Brien in Meet Me in St. Louis
Speaking of Margaret O’Brien, let’s talk about one of the best child performances ever given. I’m kind of cheating a bit, as O’Brien was actually awarded an Oscar for her work in this film, but this was back when the academy gave out Juvenile awards...little mini Oscars for actors under 18. But Tootie is a precocious child living with her large family in St. Louis...she is definitely an interesting kid. The kind who decides that her dolls occasionally succumb to illness and need to be buried in the yard. But she’s not creepy, I promise! One thing Margaret O’Brien was known for was being a great crier (along with June Allyson), and there is a scene in this movie that absolutely rips my heart out. She doesn’t do the cute “child actor” cry, with it’s just a few fat tears falling down while they stick out their lip. No. She cries like a real kid. So much so, that I can’t help but weep when she does. I saw this in the theater last year (remember theaters?!) and had to be very careful not to make too much noise!
23. Megan Cavanagh in A League of Their Own
Another move with a great acting ensemble...particularly for actresses! And I started thinking, which performance and character do I like the best? It was no question: Marla. Marla is a wonderful character played beautifully by Megan Cavanagh. She’s one of the best players on the baseball team, but she’s shy and awkward...someone who probably hasn’t been in a lot of social situations...and it’s so heartwarming to see her blossom. I just wish we had more of her in the movie!!
24. Bette Davis in Now, Voyager
I think this may be my favorite Bette Davis performance. Charlotte Vale is a shy, put upon young woman, living under the thumb of a domineering mother. It’s clear she suffers from severe anxiety and she ends up spending some time in an institution. But her life changes for the better when she begins therapy and goes off on a trip where she finds love, unexpectedly. As always, Davis gives such a wonderful and nuanced performance, saying so much while doing very little.
25. Marilyn Monroe in How to Marry a Millionaire
Another movie that I saw for the first time very recently! Before watching this movie, I had only seen Monroe in The Misfits and All About Eve...I hadn’t watched any of her light comedies that she was so well known for. And when I discovered this at the library, I decided to give it a shot! After watching it, I want to watch more of her movies! Monroe plays Pola, a half-blind model who is trying to find a rich husband. She is absolutely charming in this role! I loved watching the scenes where she tries to get along without her glasses; as she thinks she won’t get a husband if she wears them. The scenes really showed her flair for comedy and I still believe that she’s a better actress then most people ever gave her credit for.
Thanks for reading! I hope folks will check out some of these movies!
Here’s part one:

A League of Their Own (1992)
Dot: Mule!
Kit: Nag!
Rosie O’Donnell’s accent in this film just makes me ridiculously happy.
“Girls are playing baseball!? THE WAR IS LEADING TO SEXUAL CONFUSION!” Yes. Of course. Sounds right.
I love that woman for helping Shirley Baker.
I just cannot at all imagine Tom Hanks being anything like he is in this movie. I’m sure he’s not, but he’s such an obnoxious piece of crap in the beginning of this film.
I really hate that they’re giving this drunk asshat Jimmy the credit for the work Dottie does.
Poor Marla. I always want to hug her. They’re so mean to her, and she’s not even ugly. Assholes.
I want to kill this demon child. How can she not keep track of him and stop his mini-terrorist activity on a goddamn bus?
“Start using your head. That's the lump that's three feet above your ass.”
“You think there are men in this country that ain’t seen your bosoms?”
“Hi, my name's Mae, and that's more than a name, that's an attitude.”
Helen Haley: Has anybody seen my new red hat?
Dottie Hinson: Oh piss on your hat.
Helen Haley: That was uncalled for.
This messenger is an asshole. He tells the entire team that one of their husbands is dead. I hope he gets punched in the face. I know he’s fictional. I don’t care. Punch him in the face!
Awww, Bill Paxton saying “Hiya Cutie” just makes my heart happy.
“Avoid the clap. Jimmy Dugan.”
Lori Petty’s face is so excellently expressive. I love her.
I love the Racine Belles’ bus. “Racine Belles, dirt in the skirt”
I absolutely love this movie. The end always makes me so emotional. I’m so happy for them.
Fun fact? Lori Petty was the only girl on a boys' team growing up.
Another fun fact: Some of the extras in the stands and most of the women in the final scenes of them playing baseball as older women? Are the women from the actual A.A.G.P.B.L.
ESE: 107/100
50
+5 for “Mule”, “Nag” insults
+5 for young Lori Petty
-10 for crappy recruiter who kicks at chickens and insults everyone
+10 for a really good father
-10 for spitting chew on the guy’s shoe
+20 for Mae’s dancing
+3 for Marla’s “It Had to Be You”
+5 for “No crying in baseball”
+2 for split catch
-5 for that shitty messenger
+10 for Jimmy shoving him out the door
+5 for Stilwell deserving the glove to the face and his mother knowing it
+5 for the crowd cheering for Kit
+2 for sweet sister moment
+10 for the women singing “The All-American Baseball League” at the end
