"They had to do a life mask with the cast in advance. After we were done filming, Ida Lupino told us we could keep the masks because they would not be needed. I used to have my mask for many years, but I don't recall what happened to it."

Remembering Betty Field, born on today's date in 1913 (or 1916). She was a superb actress, memorable no matter the size of the role. Some of my favorite Field performances were in Kings Row, Of Mice and Men, The Southerner, Picnic, and Peyton Place. She died in 1973.
