    I loved Gladys Cooper and she was a superb actress.

    Greater fame??? Underrated???? Edward G. and Stanwyck were two of the most famous and durable stars of their day, still remembered years afterwards for their talent as well as their fame: they both got honorary Oscars and Stany got an AFI achievement. Kay Francis I would agree is well included as a big star who was forgotten, but certainly not the former two I've mentioned.

    What an incredible video! It's so refreshing to see these underrated stars finally get the recognition they deserve-especially Glattus Cooper. Her work in Now, Voyager was truly unforgettable!

    FYO: Gladys Cooper was nominated three times. Barbara Stanwyck four times. Irene Dunne-five times. Cary Grant-twice. There are many more that sadly were not acknowledged.

    This video makes a fair point. It’s not that these stars were not famous, they were but they were overlooked when it came to winning Oscar’s and in some cases even being nominated. It should be said however that Kay Francis destroyed her own career, the others didn’t.

    Gladys Cooper was the British beauty of her day. Her affect on fashion was monumental - one night at a soiree she held her right evening glove in her left hand. The following day all ladies of fashion copied the act and a fashion was set. She was also very kind to fellow thespians. Rita Hayworth was quite nervous upon meeting the experienced theatrical cast of the film Separate Tables. Gladys spoke up in front of everyone after the first table read: "Rita, we have so little experience in film. Can you help us?" Hard to believe she was known for her kindness.
    Edward G Robinson wrote a biography All My Yesterdays which is masterful. He was also a much praised painter.

    All of these actors were stupendous. I enjoyed their performances in movies. I loved them. Maybe these actors were so important because they filled a niche that wasn't a "Hollywood Star" .

    Robert Montgomery❤ is a frightening vilain in Rage in Heaven opposite to George Sanders ❤ who is a good guy (it’s very rare) in love with Ingrid Bergman ❤.

    No matter who her co-star may have been, including Davis, Hopkins was never overshadowed by anyone, her gracious style, her presence, her voice and articulation of the language. She worked with Davis in two films. People must have waited impatiently for her to come on the screen to give them a break from Davis' overbearing mannerisms.

      Right!! Since the feed is about stars that have been rather left behind, which obviously happens with most...except Bette Davis, of course! My 17 yo coworker knew exactly who Bette was, which was really a surprise given her youth. I wonder how distant of a look I would have gotten by mentioning Miriam Hopkins?

      I think it hurt her that she looked so much like Lauren Bacall or (maybe vice-a-versa) . In any case , I think Bacall was the go-to star, but if they weren't able to get her they would turn to Lizabeth Scott....She was great...
