She was a lovely thing - had red hair also.

I also felt that her smoking did her abb68solutely no favors. Especially those long teeth you mention, which became so discolored.

Wow I'd never seen her in her younger days. She was beautiful!
I thought she was an attractive older woman too (although her long teeth were a little intimidating haha), but she was a stunner.
I'd not seen any of her work prior to the '80s. Such as "Poltergeist II" & "The Golden Girls".
"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."

I agree that Geraldine was absolutely stunning, though -at least for me- Bette was stunning as well, just another kind of beauty, an unconventional one.

Watching "Dark Victory" for the first time, and though Bette Davis is pretty, Geraldine is absolutely stunning.

When you grow up, you won't be so shallow.

Youth is beautiful. She got old, she got ugly. But yeah, she was stunning back in the day.

She was just gorgeous, and one of the most underrated, forgotten beauties of the late '30s and '40s. Loved her in "Dark Victory" and "Wuthering Heights".

Definitely one of the most beautiful actresses ever to grace the screen. From some angles I see an amazing resemblance with Hedy Lamarr.

The "pretty" ran very deep. I cherish my wedding gift from her in 1962.

She was Irish, we're a pretty people.

I'm watching The Strange Affair Of Uncle Harry at the moment.
She was breath-taking. I love the shot in Wuthering Heights where she is in her bedroom gazing at her three reflections with her hair down.
A very sensuous voice also that was prominent in her early work.

She had a sexy voice, too.

No HST in Ontario2000.

I have come on this board as I just watched - The Strange Affair of Uncle Harry.
And you are right she is very beautiful.

She was quite pretty and had a unique presence, a twinkle in her eye like she was the only one in on a joke, in her earlier films. "Arthur" is the only later work of hers that I'm familiar with and was surprised she was only 67 or so when this was filmed. I assume she was made up to look older than she was - and told to act like that as well?

Don't forget "OSS"!!!! (AMC used to show this in the old days)

And talented, too. She was uncomfortably brilliant in "Wuthering Heights" and gave a tremendous performance in a little-known 40s film called "Three Strangers", which costarred Lorre and Greenstreet. That one's particularly well-worth seeking out; it's a bit of a lost classic, kinda noirish, very dark and haunting.
I always thought that Geraldine was THE actress who should have played Jane Eyre. She had such character and integrity and passion. Sigh.

Simply stunning!
I also only knew her from her later work, but the pictures of her in her younger daysshe was breathtakingly beautiful!
Love the picture of her and Bette Davis together from Dark Victory. Very glamorous!
Wish actresses today could be so glamorous! Today, it's all about how much skin you show.

Then, watch her alongside Bette Davis in Dark Victory, she was breathtakingly beautiful.
