You have a magical time machine…
You are casting an actress to play an investigative reporter in a 1920s film noir set in Hollywood. She’s sassy, intelligent, attractive, courageous and confident.
You have a shortlist of the following actresses, all in their prime. Who would you select to play the role?
@HannahHowe sounds like Glenda Farrell as Torchy Blane, exchanging 1930s for 1920s.
@pmbryant Glenda Farrell is someone I thought of for the shortlist. She is certainly one to consider for the part.
@HannahHowe Barbara Stanwyck would be my first choice; Ida Lupino second.
@MikeyMcFilms She’s the one I’m picturing in the role.
@HannahHowe Myrna Loy?
@Jean She was on my list, but I had to limit it to four.
