Betty Field
Her performance in this film is unique in that she was so versatile that one has to remember this is the same actress in "Kings Row", "The Shepherd of the Hills", Henry Aldrich's teenage girlfriend, and Kim Novak's mother in "Picnic"! She is hard boiled and haunting at the same time! Watch the montage as Richard Whorf teaches her "This Time the Dream's on Me", virtually making her over from a run of the mill floozie into a somewhat sexy and vibrant club singer. She is awesome!
