So soon after Robin Williams' passing, another star has left us. The headline on the news blog that announced it referred to her as an "iconic starlet", which pissed me off. She was every bit the star that her contemporaries were and a prolific and longtime actress. In her own way, she was as much of an icon as Williams, but from a different era. Who can forget her line to Bogie in "To Have and Have Not": "You know how to whistle, don't you? Just put your lips together and blow..."
RIP Betty (real name Betty Joan Perske). Say hello to Bogie for us... |
