> When she sings with Duke Ellington’s band in Belle of the Nineties That performance is chilling. No one can say she didn’t understand the blues. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CpS5aPlgWa8 It feels obvious to me that she and Groucho Marx, then Bob Hope a little later, had styles that presaged the much more naturalistic acting traditions that are thought to have begun with Marlon Brando and James Dean. Don’t know of any dramatic actors who figured it out that early. |
