Super sweet Ruby Keeler isn't nearly as remembered as some of her musical contemporaries (Ginger Rogers, Eleanor Powell), but she could do a mean tap dance. Any of her WB musicals are worth seeing.

Former child star Madge Evans caught my attention in BEAUTY FOR SALE (1933), but never achieved great stardom. She and Una Merkel clicked very well in a couple pre-Code pictures they shared.

Although never a major star, Margaret Lindsay was still a fabulous support for actresses such as Barbara Stanwyck. She is mentioned in William J. Mann's "Behind the Screen...."

Kay Francis fell in love with William Powell in 1932's "Jewel Robbery", played a doctor in '33 & '34, and did a ton of other impressive films. Even her fashions were always gorgeous.

Only one of Marceline Day's talkies is available on Amazon, but just watch her with Buster Keaton and you'll see how sweet she was. She was heartbreaking in "Forgotten Women" (1931).

Poor Mae Clarke was hit in the face with a grapefruit in "The Public Enemy" and has since been forgotten. Definitely was the best thing about FAST WORKERS ('33); nevermind John Gilbert,it was her show

Warners regular Helen Vinson with her lovely eyes. I liked her in a sympathetic role in "Two Against the World" ('32) with Constance Bennett.

Lilyan Tashman died at an early age from Cancer, just before the Code enforcement. This one is an ok example, worth seeing for her (obviously) and Nancy Carroll.

I can't resist Sally O'Neil and her adorable, sqeaky voice. "On With the Show" (1929) was fabulous; I admire it terribly to this day.

One of my heroines for life, Miss Constance Bennett. Everyone should see at least one movie with her to realize how beautiful and charming she really was. She lights up every role, small or large.

(The young Una Merkel): She's blonde! She's quirky! She has a cute Kentucky accent! You need more reasons than that?

Mary Carlisle made films at MGM, including Bing Crosby's DR. RHYTHM ('38). She had a very modern type of look for being a 30's actress, which makes her different (albeit not in the best way, but cute
