lithe like a leopard, sharp-looking but with so much warmth and humor in those eyes.

she was in a movie called "the big sleep" which i watched as a kid but i don't remember the storyline. after that i never  watched a movie of hers, i only remember bogart and her in the movie and there was a lot of sexual tension between the two.  looking back i see that she was very young when she shot that movie.
commendable that she held her own working with bogart. you know, she was middle-class jewish girl from the bronx (in the movie business, of all things), i don't think she had much choice but to act confident and succeed.

when you think about it though, i'm not sure that she made that many movies. looks like marriage to bogart killed her career.
 
anyhow, i miss those days, in those black-and-white movie days, people took their time to say the lines, even if, say there were police sirens in the background, the characters looked at each other and spoke to one another. we don't see much of that now. as an adult that is what i want to see, not movies that look like video games in slow motion... maybe it's time to make that trip to new york and watch a play.
