Propaganda
Kathleen Byron (Black Narcissus)— After Sister Ruth (her character) leaves the convent and encuntifies herself, she’s extremely hot in a very crazy, dangerous looking way. The director said she was cast because she had “a dreamy voice and great eyes like a lynx.” What more can you want
Francine Everett (Dirtie Girtie from Harlem U.S.A., Paradise in Harlem)— she wasn't known as 'the most beautiful women in harlem' for nothing. star of many an all-black film. not to mention one of her raised eyebrows eviscerates me
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.
[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]
Francine Everett propaganda:
Harlem beauty with charisma out the wazoo, never had as big of a Hollywood career as she should have because she refused to take demeaning or stereotyped roles.

thanks to Criterion Collection for the reminder to watch Kathleen Byron on her birthday in BLACK NARCISSUS (1947), a transcendent masterpiece that defies description. the Criterion Channel includes commentary by Michael Powell and Martin Scorsese that I have yet to listen to (!!)

propaganda for the Literal Angel Kathleen Byron because I can’t believe she’s losing!! She had an austere and authoritative screen presence that makes for such intriguing watching in each of her films as the walls around her characters inevitably crumble. In A Matter of Life and Death (1946) she plays an angel clerk of sorts, and each time she smiles you feel blessed by her relatively small role. She is iconic in Black Narcissus (1947) of course, controlling each part of Sister Ruth’s mental downfall with admirable precision, but before I saw her in that I watched The Small Back Room (1949) in which she supports David Farrar’s lead. Byron grounds the film and the relationship with such effortless grace and almost steals the more gritty film with her presence: simultaneously down-to-earth in attitude and otherworldly in beauty. I can’t wait to see more of her work from her younger period: The Scarlet Thread (1951) doesn’t quite do her justice.
Kathleen Byron vs Francine Everett
