Lupe Vélez: Mexican Spitfire

She was considered what I like to call one of those too celebrities of the 1920s and 30s, even the 40s... too devilish, too wild, too violent, too loud, too sexual, too selfish, just too over the top.  She was, of course, also too much a product of her time.  Her  offscreen antics kept her from reaching the top of her game.

Janice Rule

She never made it to the top ranks of the acting profession and I suspect it annoyed the hell out of her.  It's not difficult to figure out where she went wrong.  I always sensed she had a lot of anger and bitterness which undoubtedly escalated as her film career lackadaisically progressed.  It's also not a stretch to see why she was so often cast as bitter, neurotic socialites.
