Yes, not the usual obnoxiously cutie child actress. I loved her in The Curse of the Cat People. So believable as a regular kid.

It was the only Val Lewton horror I hadn't watched, so I corrected that right before Halloween. Great film! I'm intentionally watching lighter things so far this month… other than Frankenstein of course
