[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 135536, member: 33"] Maybe not a forgotten star but Irene Dunn never gets the recognition these days that she deserves. When there are any programmes on Hollywood's golden age they always feature names such as Bette Davis, Lauren Becall, Barbara Stanwyck and Joan Crawford but Irene Dunne never seems to get a mention. When she died in 1990, I remember she got a small paragraph buried away on an inside page of the newspaper I read that day which in no way reflected her stature as one of the greats of Hollywood. She made her first film in 1930 ([I]Leathernecking[/I]) and her final film in 1952 ([I]It Grows On Trees[/I]). Her most famous roles were as Anna Leonowens in [I]Anna and The King of Siam[/I] (1946) and starring as "Mama" in the 1948 film [I]I Remember Mama[/I] in which Barbara Bel Geddes had a supporting role. She was nominated for 5 Oscars but never won and is widely considered to be one of the greatest actresses never to have won the award. [IMG]http://www.meredy.com/dunne2.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
