Some classic actresses had a real flair for flippancy (Bette > Margo; Joan > Crystal; Rosalind > Sylvia). Not Ann Sheridan, even as her cult film character Lorraine Sheldon (The-Man-Who-Came-To-Dinner) would suggest otherwise. Ann was neither a sex symbol (nixed her Oomph tag) nor the girl next door, rather, she was swell, pretty as a picture, tough as they come and loved by men and women alike, her spirited, War-time speak more reactive than brassy, free of the harshness that often characterized the determined dame. In Juke-Girl she plays dime a dance table-setter, Lola Mears, WB's version of 20CF's film telling of Steinbeck's tale about Grapes & greed, a tomatoes of wrath, as it were, or lycopene for the soul. Ann is joined by a starry cast that includes future President Ron Reagan as pro-labor advocate Steve Talbot, this role long before his real persona flipped to the other side, management (v. PATCO 81) (3/4).
