Cute. (But also, per most accounts, one of the most haughty Prima Donnas in Hollywood!)

Definitely posed, or at the very least, awfully "camera-aware." I am a little surprised that the lovely (and diva-ish) Miriam Hopkins would allow herself to be photographed with so little makeup on.

Hm. "Posed" can be said of all photos, so I'll leave it open to interpretation.

Just read an article on "Greenbrier Picture Show" (http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20312347&postID=7557135074023015439 ) comparing film to digital. Buried in the article is the following: “…I know a collector, or rather an ...

Very subtle makeup by Jack Dawn and Charles Schram, giving him darker hair with a widow's peak hairline, fuller bridge of the nose (like Olivier's in Spartacus), dark, bushy and arched eyebrows, and larger teeth, but human- unlike March's simian-style...

Yes, more of a caveman/primitive man-type concept. More of a traditional "monster" than concepts like Tracy's or Palance's, were they were evil in character more than monstrous in appearance. I like the Tracy version. The makeup is much more subtle bu...

It's Frederic March's Hyde that won him the oscar. His Jekyll is a bit too silent-movie type melodramatic. But his Hyde is just so fun to watch. I always thought that Jack Palance's Hyde reminded me of Henry Brandon.

Finally watched this for the first time. Have to say I liked it, although at times March's performance as Hyde seems to anticipate Jerry Lewis. But otherwise an uncanny portrayal, and he was certainly the most athletic monster of the class of '31. I...
