I had only seen her before in Bewitched, where she was definately past her prime... but in this movie, not at first, but at her apt. right before she falls outa the window, there was some close ups of her face and I was thinking... man, she was kinda hot with an unusual, somewhat exotic look to her.

Check the IMDb profile for her, click the photos... there are about 15 from bewitched era, then a single solatary BW of her in her younger days... eee-yow!

Hell, I even liked her in Bewitched. I think the earliest moovie I saw her in was "The Big Street" - But she was also in Citizen Caine and The Magnificent Ambersons.

fubby, I never thought of her as a sex object, but I think Dark Nasal Passage was probly the closest she came.

Of course, she was one of the greatest Character Actresses who ever lived, so if she could be a homely old woman in one film and sexy nosy broad in this one, that just makes her all the more great.

A lot of people thought she was Gay, but actually she was VERY Catholic.

There are actually a couple of photos online of her from the '20s/early '30s that are proof positive that she was indeed a beautiful woman when she was young. She had amazing eyes (and knew how to use them depending on what the situation called for).

No blah, blah, blah!

Catherine Deneuve still pretty good stuff but sheer terror of a heart breaker.
How could other women live up to that! There may have been a few matches from
Europe like Bardot, and Loren but as fun as they are it's just equals.

And check poster for her first film. Pre sexual revolution French comedy with her real age of 14. Same director did the terrific Therese and Isabelle.

I see what you mean. Note that she was 47 when Dark Passage was filmed.

she kept her looks well into her fifties...and that's just the "I'd definitely hit that" way; frankly, she was still very beautiful in Bewitched
