I loved Bea as Mrs Meers in Thoroughly Modern Millie, my friends and I went around quoting her lines like "sad to be all alone in the world", so I tracked down her silent movie Exit Smiling in 1926, and On Approval in 1943, she also pops up in a Bing Crosby vehicle Dr Rhythm. Via Bea !
AtStirred, Straight Up, with a Twist, it helps to remember that it is permanently 1962 (give or take a decade); and that the problems of the real world can be solved with a touch of glamour and a dash of style.
Thanks for visiting, have fun, and please feel free to add your wit and sparkle to the proceedings!

Every other inch a dyke.
"Exit Smiling" is a favorite. Bea AND Franklin Pangborn in one picture!
