Her best role was in Rear Window. I agree that she was really pretty awful in High Society, but Bing Crosby wasn't very good either. You can't beat Celeste Holm, though ... now that's a lady with a way with a line.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-77965609886869517942007-10-13T23:20:00.000-07:002007-10-13T23:20:00.000-07:00I disagree...

Pop-up book cardboard cutouts would be my assessment.<BR/><BR/>Have a look at High Society where she stars opposite Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, and Louis Armstrong plus numerous fabulous B actors (the platinum blonde reporter is a hoot) in fabbo musical. Then take a look at the original Philadelhia Story movie where Kate Hepburn plays the same lead role and you'll see some real acting. <BR/><BR/>I know she's not meant to be kate, but for heavens sake... there is no compariosn. She may be a crush but never a really satisfying obsession... Pip, SydneyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
