#Geraldine Fitzgerald

Hah, I'm done watching Arsenic and Old Lace. So I drew these.I like this movie very much. It's a great nonsense comedy. I really laughed many times.

P1：Jonathan and Dr. Einstein painted very interesting. I must say they are moldy baguettes and gin barrels ...

They gave me a special feeling, so I decorated them with some fluorescent colors.And while painting Jonathan, I was thinking that I should go and see the movie Frankenstein.（Jonathan is really like Boris Karloff.I tried to distinguish them when I painted them.）

I have searched many places and still don't know the full name of Einstein, but since everyone calls him Herman Einstein, that's it.

P2：I put Karl and Einstein together when I was practicing realistic painting style, so let them talk, although I feel that they will dislike each other.

P3、P4、P5：Einstein really reminds me of Johnny West（Three Strangers）. They are all reckless drunkards but totally different ... So let's work together!Or, swap settings in each other's movies.

The span of these two films may be a little big, but I really think Johnny and Einstein may be able to exchange their jobs ...Why not? Anyway, they all seem to have studied and love to drink.

I want to draw more fanart about this movie.I think Peter Lorre in this movie is the first poor little meow meow have ever come into contact with.Well, I finally understand where some strange impressions of him mainly come from.

Peter Lorre's voice in this movie is also very different. It sounds more morbid and delicate, and his breathing is heavier.

I think Peter Lorre is very talented in dubbing. He will adjust his way of speaking and voice according to different roles.

Propaganda

Geraldine Fitzgerald (Three Strangers)—A good girl who played the sexiest bad girls.

Lena Horne (Cabin in the Sky, Stormy Weather)— Incredibly talented biracial actress, singer, dancer, and activist (she did so much work towards integrating audiences). Because of the racism of the era, she rarely got to be the lead actress but filmmakers loved her so much that they would often create stand alone segments within a film to highlight her beautiful singing, knowing that these segments would ultimately be cut from the film by censors in areas that forbid films with Black performers. Also, she's just so wonderful in Cabin in the Sky as a gold-digger villain who is not the least bit subtle about her intentions. I would highly recommend checking out her work.

This is round 1 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

Geraldine Fitzgerald:

Lena Horne:

Black American powerhouse singer and actor who faced all the usual bullshit that any BIPOC faced in vintage Hollywood and achieved legendary status anyway. Also a Civil Rights movement icon.

She was a gem

She was so beautiful and those dimples are amazing! Truly depressing how badly Hollywood treated her because she was black. I would love to have seen what she really could have been if they didn’t cast her in so many yikes roles. She’s got gorgeous eyes and that body! Her joyful smile makes happiness sexy!

Civil rights actress, singer, dancer, actress, she's got the whole package

Lena Horne was a wonderful singer and actress who largely starred in black cast musicals. While she had a lot of main stream success, she ultimately lost the lead role in showboat (a role she had played on the stage) to a white actress due to hollywood's prejudices. She was also blacklisted during the HUAC hearings, but she still managed to be hot be hot as fuck and have a career spanning decades, working with more well-known stars like Judy Garland in musicals, and working on stage and releasing albums when her hollywood career began to suffer.

Miss Horne became famous during a period of time when Hollywood had very few meaningful roles for people of color. Although she is more so known as a performer, she starred in two successful all black productions (Cabin in the Sky & Stormy Weather). If that wasn't enough, she also guest starred on the Muppets (Season 1, Episode 11)

The show, as they say, must go on. Orson Welles injured both his ankles while directing and starring in a production of King Lear at the City Center. So, on January 14, 1956, he wheeled himself onto the stage and went on with the play. Above, he gives some last-minute notes to his fellow actors. In the front row are Sylvia Short (Regan), Roy Dean (behind Welles, Kent), John Colicos (in dark hood, Edmund), Geraldine Fitzgerald (Goneril), and Viveca Lindfors (Cordelia).

I finished watching Three Strangers and was deeply shocked by the ending. I like the film very much.

I like western movies with oriental mystery, so I drew a poster with mixed styles.

I use China ink painting style to draw characters and color them.It looks like a picture book in China.Also, the facial colors of the characters are inspired by Beijing opera. Let me explain.

Sydney Greenstreet:Jing,It means an old man with steady manners and high status.

Geraldine Fitzgerald:Dan,It means a fiery young woman.

Peter Lorre:Chou,He means a humorous and cunning man.

And I switched the positions of the protagonists and the Bodhisattva, and let them stand on the altar. I refer to the Chinese paper-cut art for the design style of Shentai.

This whole painting gives me a sense of calm madness.
