...grudging remark to make about an actress who had 60 years of film and TV roles ahead of her. After playing in a few other British films, notably as Emmeline the nubile castaway (the role that brought stardom to Brooke Shields three decades later) in Frank Launder's The Blue Lagoon, Simmons went to Hollywood and stayed there. Her first of four movies for Hughes was her best: Otto Preminger's Angel Face (1952), essentially a feature-length rendition of the Ophelia mad scene.

Registered Democrats outnumber Republicans 3 to 1, but fully half the state's voters are registered "unenrolled" - not affiliated with any party. And four of its last five governors have been Republicans, albeit ones of a more moderate stripe than that of the national party...
