Seperated At Birth???????????????????????

                               There just aren't actresses around like  these, anymore, nor  with names like  these.   The one  on top  is  Rafaella  Ottiano, best known  for  the 1936 MGM horror film,  "The Devil  Doll," which also featured Lionel Barrymore and  Maureen  O'Sullivan.  The  one  underneath her is Frieda Inescourt, whom I recently saw give her  all, along with Beverly Garland,  in "The Alligator People" (1959), and who was in Metro's 1940  version of  "Pride And Prejudice" (which I  think  Maureen was also  in,  playing the beautiful Jane Bennett.)  Frieda's  signature film,  with her stern, clipped tones, and imperial  walk and  manner, were highlighted in 1943's "The Return  Of The Vampire,"  with Bela  Lugoisi, and, in her screen debut, Nina Foch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  She played--another great name--Lady  Jane Ainsley.  Again, you cannot  make  these names up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                   But such names!  They just roll  off  the  tongue. And they are just as exotic on screen  as suggested.  Pity there are  none such performers around  today as these,  but then  elegance, darlings, has gone  a bit of the  wayside,  hasn't it???????????????????????????????

                                     I just LOVE Rafaella  and  Frieda.   They could be sisters.   Too bad  they weren't cast as such.

                                       They have to be seen, to be  believed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
