During Prohibition and the Great Depression, gangsters became celebrities. Their flamboyant, anti-establishment Iives fiIIed the tabloids and piqued curiosity. FiIms such as Framed fueIed that curiosity. Leading lady EveIyn Brent was no frail flower but a gorgeous, tough-as-nails 'broad' who paved the way for such actresses as Barbara Stanwyck and Joan Crawford. 30 years old when she made Framed, it was one of her last starring roles. She wouId go on to a busy career in supporting roIes, most notabIy in Holt of the Secret Service (1941), before retiring in 1950. She made only one TV appearance in 'Wagon Train' in 1960 and died in 1975 having Iived an extraordinary Iife. |
