Speaking Of March Being "Women's History Month," Did You Know That The Domed, Enclosed Leader, Of The "Invaders From Mars," Back In 1953, Was Played By A Woman????????????????

                                       Who could have  guessed, darlings?  I always thought the best part of the movie was this chrome dome thing, whom I thought looked kinda butch!  Especially with that chrome dome on its head.  But, with the knowledge, if closely looked in the eyes, one can now see is a woman!

                                          That woman was Luce Potter, who is uncredited, but billed on IMDB as "Martian Intelligence."  I am telling you, this, along with Virginia Leith in "The Brain That Wouldn't Die" are the screen's two greatest disembodied performances!

                                           If Luce was a midget, they must have just stuffed her inside the rectangular box, on which she rests, with her head poking out of the hole!  And the Martian claws sticking out at the sides!

                                             What design!  What effects!  You know who directed this movie? William Cameron Menzies!!!!!!!!!!!!!  That's right, girls!  The set designer of "Gone With The Wind,"

                                                Lupe's performance is all the more remarkable, because she does not speak a single word.  She just looks down at David MacLean (Jimmy Hunt) when he begins pounding on the dome!

                                                   How could an actor turn down such a part?  Lupe was right!

                                                   It is now her signature roles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                   Girls, if you have not seen it, you simply have to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
