Which raises the question: is movie star quality a finite resource, like oil, and did Hollywood spend it all in the days of the Duke, the King (Clark Gable) and other charismatic royalty like Humphrey Bogart, Bette Davis, Audrey Hepburn, Burt Lancaster, dozens, hundreds of others...
Napolitano does not dress like a cowboy. She is diminutive and feisty.

In 12 years as a star at the lion of studios, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and for decades afterward, June Allyson purred sweet reason to the prime men of her era: Jimmy Stewart (in three movies), Humphrey Bogart (in Battle Circus), William Holden (Executive Suite) and her husband, Dick Powell. Other women might get the showy parts, and the Oscars. Allyson, in her movies, got the wedding ring. And from her fans, she received the Photoplay Magazine citation as 1954's Most Popular Female Star...
