Movie Legends - Ann Sheridan

[MrDan6670]

what a beauty!!!......look at those eyes!

[ashcarl116]

what's amazing about her is: after her death, it took 37 years (1967-2004) before her cremains were finally placed somewhere perminate for viewing.

My parents always told me that Ann Sheridan was a 3rd couson to me on my Dad's side in Texas. I'm 52 now but never met her. But from watching her old movies? She was a great actress.

@Godzie1 Miss Sheridan was a great TEXAS gal. My father, who passed away two weeks ago at 93, was a Major in the Army Air Corps in WWII. Miss Sheridan came to his camp overseas, along with Joe E. Brown, Pat O'Brien, and Paulette Goddard. (USO tour) They all killed a bottle of Scotch one evening. My father had nothing but great things to say about Miss Sheridan. She's always been one of my favorites -- love her as "Randy" in Kings Row,

[Godzie1]

@tallpaul521 Thank you for that info! My father (who grew up in Brownwood Texas) died in 97 at 72 so I really don't know much about her? All I know she is a cousin of mine. My father (quote as my Grandmother would say it.) married a yankee from Chicago..That's where I was born & raised but does that make me a yankee too? lol

[tallpaul521]

@Godzie1 My father was born in Queens, NYC but came to Texas A&M - class of 41. My mother was from Farmersville, TX -- knew Audie Murphy growing up. Sheridan's real name was Clara Lou Sheridan McKay.

My mother, from a farm in Texas, married by father, from NYC..I was born in TEXAS but I love NYC --but TEXAS is my home.

@tallpaul521 Wow I guess our generation broke that civil war issue. lol But it is amazing to think you are related to someone famous? My great great father signed the declaration of independence too. William Hooper. (That was also my father's name & grandfathers name also) But according to my Dad, my grandfather said "quote" He was a bum that hung around the right people" (go figure?)

A nice to tribute to Ann Sheridan, my favorite 40's actress, so beautiful

[Devoraak]

......thank you Robert Osborne @ TCM

[alamay134]

You had to fall in love with her after Angels with Dirty Faces w/ Cagney

[mcmorrison]

@alamay134

Copy that. What a great movie too.

[gugenheim84]

Drama? That was easy, comedy was the hard part and Miss Sheridan had impeccable timing for both. Like so many other stars of that era the studios underestimated them, overlooked them or misrepresented them for a fast buck.

[hlaltimus]

Another stellar beauty, typically with a more serious look on her lovely face.

[zodiolestes]

FYI, the Last Hollywood Tribute to Glamour Girl Redheads, Olde school style was Uma Thurmans *Poison Ivy in Batman and Robin, with George Clooney,1997. Her sleazy dangerous caricature of the Oomph Girl and Love Goddess was a sample what it was like to be Miss Hayworths or Miss Sheridans shoes in 1941!

[zodiolestes]

*Ur right @denzo30, how could ANYONE forget Ann Sheridans arch rival, Rita Hayworth?! The Oomph Girl and The Love Goddess RULED the 1940s!! I also forgot carrot topped Greer Garson, Maureen OHara, and Kay Kendall! SHOOT ME!!!

[randrall]

This tribute receives the stamp of approval from the Ann Sheridan Fan Club. :)

[zodiolestes]

Heres to all the sexy,unsung Hollywood redheads,proving that you dont have to be blonde to be beautiful,from Clara Bow, Nancy Carroll, Jeanette Mc Donald, James Cagney, Susan Hayward, Arlene Dahl, Rhonda Fleming,and Cameron Mitchell,to Tina Louise, Jill St. John, Linda Kaye, Allan Kayser and Marsha Cross and ofcourse lets not forget the Queen* Miss Ann Sheridan!

[denzo30]

U forgot the biggest redhead of all time. Rita Hayworth! She and Ann were the biggest "Redheads"of the forties!!!!

[MrMickufo]

shes beautifull

[GeminiNightOwl]

I love Ann Sheridan! Talented, sexy and one of a kind. Loved her in They Drive by Night and also in Angels with Dirty Faces. She would have made a great couple with Cagney and Raft too. Thanks for the beautiful pictures...

[stickitupyourasteric]

one of the nicest chests and ass in the movies ever legs to and smile to well a plus in manny areas worf wolf

[drwinkle101]

Ann Sheridan was a talented comic, as we see in I Was a Male War Bride. She was not given enough good roles in her career. Pity she didn't go into TV sitcom in the 1950s, like Lucille Ball did.

[LoneConformist]

Intense. She is like Rita Hayworth with a deceptively cute girl-next-door quality. That makes her even more lethal.

[niceguy63073]

"Oomph" is right! This woman was always beautiful in my opinion. She never received any recognition. I love her in "I Was A Male War Bride" w/ Cary Grant.

[MOGGS1942]

Just like Ben,I too fell in love with Ann Sheridan, but I'm not sure if it was "Angels...",or

They Drive By Night",that proved my undoing.

She was a classy lady,and a much underrated

actress,but not by me,I hasten to add.

[BENJ1969]

One of my all time favorite female movie stars ever. From the first time Isaw her on "Angles With Dirty Faces," I was in love with her. Simply gorgeous. Today's starlets have to go way out on a limb to portray the simple elegance that Sheridan did, as is evidenced throughout this video portrayal. What I wouldn't have done to have met her and Rita Hayworth. At times I'm sure I'm an anachronism, becuz todays coquettish types don't do it for me. Underrated?? No, no, no!! She was "the oomph girl!"

[jimijuwea]

Found her to be very sexy. Love her movies. Underrated beauty

[annie6075]

my maiden name is anne sheridan, wish i looked even a litte bit like her, she was very beautiful

[miguelalvesmantero]

hollywood royalty!!!she is great and the video to!!

[gv416]

What a BEAUTIFUL woman!!!!! And so FEISTY!!! Who else could slap James Cagney and get away with it???

[Viktoria3]

I adore Ann! My uncle always told me I look like her alot! these pics are so amazing!!! I loved this. I think my favorites will be filled with your vids!! :) Beautiful music as always! I love the "What is a youth" song too!!! I'm blown away by your class!

[costaj74]

Most of the images are B/W but there is somthing very beutiful about the intelligence and directness you see in her eyes in each photo. She was certainly beutiful but you sense an approachabilty and vulnerabilty in her look.

Thank You

[globehunter2]

One would say that a womans beauty is like the soft

fragrance of a Rose` could it be the scent of her

Soul, steming from her heart` Ann Sheridan was all

these things in my view. A warmth of womanly radiance

caught on film for generations to admire.

And captured again by the skill of Baz*

Thankyou

[dafnevirgi]

[whispperson]
