Starring Linda Darnell

Propelled to stardom while still a teenager, Linda Darnell wielded a feisty tempestuousness that lent her performances an extra edge. Starring opposite Tyrone Power in splashy costume spectacles like The Mark of Zorro and Blood and Sand , she soon proved equally effective as a snarling femme fatale in the noir gems Fallen Angel and Hangover Square and as a caustic wit in the sophisticated comedies Unfaithfully Yours and A Letter to Three Wives . Though the turmoil of her offscreen life took a toll on her career—culminating in her devastating early death at age forty-one in a house fire—Darnell left behind one of the most distinguished filmographies of the 1940s, delivering performances both tender and hard-edged for some of the era’s top auteurs.
