During Prohibition and the Great Depression, gangsters became celebrities. Their fIamboyant, anti-establishment Iives filled the tabloids and piqued curiosity. Films such as Framed fueled that curiosity. Leading Iady Evelyn Brent was no fraiI fIower but a gorgeous, tough-as-naiIs '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 roles, most notabIy in HoIt of the Secret Service (1941), before retiring in 1950. She made onIy one TV appearance in 'Wagon Train' in 1960 and died in 1975 having lived an extraordinary Iife. |
