| Betty was hugely popular in her time; she was the Blonde Bombshell, full of energy. Bob Hope once called her "a vitamin pill with legs". Of course, she wasn't to everyone's taste; someone I knew said that when he saw her films in the movies as a kid, he used to start to cry! I think she's fabulous, but she is giving off a whole lot of energy that maybe some aren't used to or just not to their taste. She could pull it back and be quite effective just singing a ballad though, and still hilariously funny while directed judiciously to hold back a bit by writer/director Preston Sturges in his fantastic, how-it-ever-got-by the-censors, "Miracle of Morgan's Creek" |
