In Memoriam:

Barbara Bel Geddes

(Oct. 31st, 1922 - August 8th, 2005)

While Geddes made a name for herself on stage starring as Maggie in the original Broadway production of Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and even played the disgruntled housewife in "Lamb to the Slaughter" on Alfred Hitchcock Presents, she will always be Midge to me.

Double Take: Geddes as best gal pal of Scottie Ferguson (Jimmy Stewart) in Vertigo

"You know, it's wonderful how they've got it all taped now, John. They've got music for melancholiacs, and music for dipsomaniacs, and music for nymphomaniacs... I wonder what would happen if somebody mixed up their files?"
