You know, it just occurred to me that the reason I'm not as crazy as the rest of you are about Jimmy Stewart is because his character was so cluelessly mean to Ruth Hussey's Elizabeth Imbrie  in The Philadelphia Story.  Yes, this is unfair, but she's just that good, I guess. Or he's really like that.

Today is Ruth Hussey's 100th Birthday, born in Providence, Rhode Island, October 30, 1911. I can count the number of pictures I've seen her in on one hand and a couple of toes, but she makes a big impression in all of them. Make it easy on yourself and watch the easiest to get: The Women (1939) or The Philadelphia Story (1940), which also grants you a double dose of Virginia Weidler.
 
Meanwhile, here she is in a strange episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents called "Mink" (1956).
