Propaganda
Jane Powell (Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Royal Wedding)— Pint-sized powerhouse of a performer! She's at her most appealing in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, where she ably handles seven himbo farmer brothers -- all as tall as church steeples. She also matches Fred Astaire so well in Royal Wedding! She's got this strength and presence to her as a performer that makes her very fun to watch!
June Allyson (Little Women, Good News)—the best Jo March—yes, I said it,, the BEST Jo March! I fall in love with her everytime I watch it and I’m going to mention her every single damn time anyone brings up Little Women. Funny and down to earth, with her little scratchy voice, and the best version of the "play" at the beginning. She brings a real spunk and zip to the role nobody else I think has nailed—her Jo has FUN, to her core, IS fun to her core. it makes the sadder scenes all the sadder and really conveys Jo's journey from top to bottom.
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.

June Allyson:
whatever problems Good News may have -- and there's a lot (I'm looking at you, Pass That Peace Pipe) -- June Allyson was NOT one of them. No one else can pull off allegedly 1920s (read: the most 1940s dresses I have ever seen) librarian clothing like her. Also she's my second-favorite Hot Vintage Librarian (Marian, my beloved, is first) and she can dance and sing! All-around talented!! She has her own paper dolls and they are gorgeous.

Jane Powell Dancing Propaganda it takes a while for the dancing to get going (like halfway through) but I love her in this with her little black bob and beret - this short queen deserves your votes
