Propaganda

Betty Garrett (On The Town, Take Me Out to the Ballgame)— She’s so unhinged in On the Town and Take Me Out to the Ball Game, chasing little twink Frank Sinatra around and just casually throwing him over her shoulder. Just an icon.

Teresa Wright (The Little Foxes, Mrs. Miniver, Shadow of a Doubt)— She wrote this into her contract herself: "Miss Wright shall not be required to pose for photographs in a bathing suit unless she is in water. Neither may she be photographed running on the beach with her hair flying in the wind. Nor may she pose in any of the following situations: in shorts; playing with a cocker spaniel; digging in a garden; whipping up a meal; attired in firecrackers and holding skyrockets for the fourth of July; looking insinuatingly at the turkey for Thanksgiving; wearing a bunny cap with long ears for Easter; twinkling on prop snow in a skiing outfit while a fan blows her scarf.”

This is round 1 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

Teresa Wright:

One of the best Hitchcock leading lady performances!!

Warm, lovely, vivacious, intelligent!! imo Teresa Wright is way too underrated and deserves much more credit! I truly can’t think of another actress with the same vibe as her and she deserves more appreciation!!

Betty Garrett:

Garrett's comments on that scene (TCM - Word of Mouth):

[editor's note: the above commentary is so delightful OP is making a rare exception to the no-post-1970-propaganda rule to enjoy discussion of Frank Sinatra being flung around like a bag of beans)

Helen Rose crafted this captivating pink and white gown with sheer sleeves for the 1949 film Take Me Out to the Ballgame, where it was worn by Betty Garrett, who breathed life into the character Shirley Delwyn.

The gown reemerged from the garment racks in the following year for the 1950 musical Annie Get Your Gun, where an extra wore it in a crowd scene filled with reused costumes from Take Me Out to the Ballgame and The Harvey Girls. Can you spot them?
