Propaganda

Acquanetta (Arabian Nights, Jungle Woman, The Sword of Monte Cristo)—i just think naming yourself 'acquanetta' is a banger move

Jean Seberg (Breathless, Saint Joan)— Some of us watched À bout de souffle as a lil French undergrad and had the trajectory of our lives changed by Jean Seberg. She IS French new wave!! She is the moment!! She sadly had to work with a lot of shitty directors in her career but even so, she has this magnetic energy whenever she’s on screen. In her personal life, she was also very supportive of civil rights causes, and was even targeted/harassed by the FBI for financially supporting the Black Panther Party.

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.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]

Jean Seberg:

anyone who plays Joan of Arc is kind of hot by default tbh

she's gorgeous, she's cool, she has the original blond pixie cut

She donated a lot of her money to civil rights organizations such as the NAACP and the black panther party as well as Native American school groups, as a result of this the fbi ran a smear campaign against her and a surveillance campaign which is thought to have led to her suicide tragically.

idk if this is propaganda but the COINTELPRO and the FBI are widely blamed for her death. If the FBI was after her for supporting the Black Panther Party you know she was good

Dead Man's Eyes (1944)

"I wouldn't be surprised if this man were insane. He wouldn't be the first one who'd gone mad studying the processes of the mind."

"Precisely, Captain. I compliment you on your sagacity."

"You know, it's people like you that have caused me to steer clear of all this book psychology."

Universal's saddest lump of clay Lon Chaney‚ back doing what he does best (having a dreadful time) #he starts off in high spirits here; he's got it all‚ a career as an up and coming artist‚ a devoted model‚ a loving fiancee and her #moneybags patron father‚ and best of all he has a little shelf on which he keeps his big bottle of eyewash next to his identical big bottle #of acid. truly what more could a man ask for. but what's that... no Lon! surely not! whoever could have foreseen such a tragic incident.. #so yeah Lon loses his eyes‚ then gets new eyes but may have murdered to get them. cue classic did he didn't he shenanigans and the usual #absurdly dickish cop poking in his nose and basically bullying everyone. high melodrama nonsense but for the first time this film shows #some cracks around the edges; the cast are more variable than in the previous films‚ with Acquanetta stilted and monotone while Ed Fielding #goes too far the other way as a constantly shouting and gesticulating father figure. outside of Lon‚ Gomez is probably the best value #and seems to be having genuine fun as the asshole investigating the case. not quite as good as sanctums 1 and 2 and with a touch more #chauvinism to it (particularly in the way Acquanetta is consistently described as moody or difficult‚ or how all the male characters #discuss Parker's romantic future without her even being present let alone asked) but it still has fun nonsense to be found

Born on this day 101 years ago: the enigmatic b-movie actress known only as Acquanetta (aka Mildred Davenport, 17 July 1921 – 16 August 2004) who specialized in “jungle girl” roles. Inevitably described as “exotic”, Acquanetta’s origins and ethnicity were shrouded in mystery. As a starlet at Universal Studios in the forties, Acquanetta was publicized as the “Venezuelan Volcano.” Some accounts claimed she was native American. Today, Acquanetta is widely assumed to have been African American. Perhaps she fabricated her heritage to avoid being typecast as maids? Not that the alternative was much better. Acquanetta is best remembered for two kitschy horror films in which she portrays a savage ape transformed into human female form by a mad scientist (played by John Carradine, needless to say): Captive Wild Woman (1943) and Jungle Woman (1944). As tasteless, demeaning and racist as this synopsis sounds, the exquisite Acquanetta rises above the material to invest the role in Captive Wild Woman (the one I’ve seen) with a dignified and ethereal inscrutability. When Acquanetta died aged 83, she took her secrets to the grave.
