My favorite pre-Code and noir performers:
Bette Davis: The baddest sister to ever don a dress.
Joan Crawford: one of pre-Code and film noir's most awesome divas!
Dangerous Dan Duryea

The lovely Carole Lombard
Robert Montgomery: Pre-Code Essential.
Lilyan Tashman and Kay Francis: Two awesome dames.
Don't mess with Robert Mitchum.
Stanwyck: Indescribable. Undefinable.
Joan Blondell: Cute as lace pants.
There's nobody like Sterling Hayden.
Lovely Leila Hyams
Warren William: Smooth, suave, and sophisticated.
Marlene Dietrich: Always marvelous
Oozing with talent: Mae Clarke
