Jean Porter in Cry Danger (1951).

Kay Francis, born Katherine Gibbs
(January 13, 1905 – August 26, 1968)
"I have never kidded myself about Art for Art's sake. I went into this business because I thought I could make more money in it than any other."
Marlene Dietrich, born Marie Magdalene Dietrich
(December 27, 1901 – May 6, 1992)

(Her own explanation of her surname from A.B.C.)
Wishing you all a very classic Hollywood Christmas season!
