"I love everything about show business, even the junk. You can't change the junk. People have tried. So, you might as well accept it along with the good. Acting is my life. The profession can break my heart. In fact, it already has several times. But I love it." Ruth Roman speaking to gossip columnist Hedda Hopper in 1949.

Born on this day: Ruth Roman (22 December 1922 – 9 September 1999). Despite working with major directors like Alfred Hitchcock (Strangers on a Train (1951)), Nicholas Ray and King Vidor and providing the romantic “love interest” for leading men including Gary Cooper, Errol Flynn, Kirk Douglas and James Stewart, Roman arguably never quite cracked the A-list. Nonetheless, the sensual, earthy actress with the distinctive nicotine-stained rasp elevated every film she appeared in. I’m painfully aware I haven’t yet seen Lightning Strikes Twice (1951) or Tomorrow Is Another Day (1951), widely considered Roman’s best films, but I love her performances in Blowing Wild (1953) and Love Has Many Faces (1965). (Interestingly, Roman almost played Stella in the 1951 film adaptation of A Streetcar Named Desire but director Elia Kazan insisted on Kim Hunter, who’d played the role on Broadway). Call me perverse, but I treasure Roman most as the crazed harridan mother in the bizarre 1973 exploitation film The Baby. Who else could growl lines like “Nothing happened? With your damn tit in his mouth and you call that nothing?” and “Tie her up and gag her!” with such butch, menacing authority? In the 1980s, Roman made sporadic appearances on TV in Knots Landing and Murder, She Wrote. According to Wikipedia: “Roman died at the age of 76 in her sleep of natural causes at her beachfront villa on Crescent Bay in Laguna Beach, California, on 9 September 1999.” There are worse ways to go.
