BORN YESTERDAY
starstarstarstar
A sheer delight. The irrepressible Judy Holliday — the greatest "dumb blonde" ever to grace the silver screen — recreates the role she made famous on Broadway: the wife of a shady scrap-metal tycoon (Broderick Crawford) who's put in charge of his empire so he can cover his tracks. Embarrassed by his wife's lack of "cultcha," he hires William Holden to give her lessons. Don't miss it. Read the complete review for Born Yesterday

Question: What ever became of the youngest sister from the original Little Women movie?


Answer: Actress Jean Parker, who died on Nov. 30, 2005, at the age of 90, played the youngest March sister, Beth, in Little Women (1933).
