Edward G. Robinson- a brilliant, if slightly cranky, actor who stole every scene he was in, especially in Double Indemnity.

 

[ferretsnicker20]

All brilliant actresses but maybe not as well remembered as the big names as they were never leading ladies. Actually I think Agnes Moorehead will be remembered more than most, but because of "Bewitched" rather than her film work.

Franchot Tone, a great actor who never quite made it big.

Audie murphy.
Will hay.
Cedric Hardwicke.....all worth a mention.

 

[Paul_in_Steeltown]

I can't name anyone who I have forgotten but I feel obliged to mention Greta Garbo and Shirley Jones

Clint Walker

 

[<I LOVE YOU>]

I know she has already been mentioned but I just wanted to add my name to the Greer Garson fanclub

 

[Tania G]

Joan Crawford only seems to be remembered for "NO WIRE HANGERS EVER!!!", even though she was the real deal back in the day.

Clara Bow- my fav.... less known that Louise Brooks these days but a bigger star in her time and as a cultural icon had more affect on the 20's era...

Second Montgomery Clift- great actor!

 

[MixedMojo]

Van Heflin
Ida Lupino
Ginger Rogers

 

[ThePianistt]

Chester Morris (Boston Blackie)
Richard Dix (The Whistler)
