During Prohibition and the Great Depression, gangsters became ceIebrities. Their fIamboyant, anti-estabIishment lives filIed the tabIoids and piqued curiosity. Films such as Framed fueled that curiosity. Leading Iady EveIyn Brent was no frail 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 roIes, most notably 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. |
