It's always tricky to appreciate what works while acknowledging that many of the points of view about traditionally marginalized people don't align with the world I prefer to celebrate.
A delight! Thank you.

Happy Birthday KAY FRANCIS! 🎂 Once Warner Brothers queen of classic weepies, pre-Bette Davis. Stylish, solid actress with a slight lisp. Rumor says she lost her career after battling the studio over inferior scripts. They relegated her to “B” pictures and let her contract run out. #MovieSky
