Brassy blondes

By Greg Crosby

"In every era the movies have had their glamour girls. The 40's had the bouncy, gutsy types like Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwyck, and Joan Crawford; the 50's had the voluptuous types, Marilyn Monroe, Jane Russell, and Kim Novak; and today we have the "new woman," the super woman who is capable of anything whether it be fighting corruption, running a business, or saving the world. But there's another kind of movie girl that predates them all. She's the wisecracking, floozy, flirty movie girl that was popular about 75 years ago. Of course I'm referring to the brassy blondes of the 30's!"
