Yet, for the life of me, I can't remember what Rutherford did in that film. I had to look up her character's name.<br /><br />I do remember her from the Andy Hardy movies, which I watched for the first time only a couple of years ago (though I've been aware of them all my life). I was quite impressed with her in those films, and wished MGM had found more for her to do in them, rather than have her disappear for a long stretches in the middle. I've seen her in other things as well, including some movies she made with Red Skelton, where he played a detective called The Fox. Since I'm not as fond of Skelton as I am other movie comedians of that era, I think she, along with a forgotten character actor by the name of Rags Ragland, is the best thing in those movies. I also recall seeing her in, of all things, an Errol Flynn movie. He played Don Juan, and she was one of the girls he loved and then discarded. Maybe if she had kissed Flynn like she did Mickey Rooney in that clip, he wouldn't have. She was a fine comic actress. She should have been a bigger star than she was.Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155991693956178030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635884225797829085.post-67695302092813521972012-06-13T15:48:39.761-07:002012-06-13T15:48:39.761-07:00When I saw she died, on the LA Times web page I ha...When I saw she died, on the LA Times web page I had to go look her up as she looked familiar. <br />Tell you the truth I don't remember her from GWTW but I am not a huge fan of the movie.<br />I do remember her from the Andy Hardy Movies although I can say I didn't remember her name but I remember the face. <br />I think she is very lovely.<br /><br />Was wondering if you would write a post on her.<br /><br />cheers, parsnipangryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.com
