My Take
What draws me to Ruth Hussey is intelligence on screen. As photographer Elizabeth Imbrie in The Philadelphia Story, she held her own beside Hepburn and Grant, playing a sharp, wry woman who never gets upstaged, and earning an Academy Award nomination for it. That backbone in a supporting part is exactly what I prize. A Walk of Fame star and a true classic-era talent, she is the kind of actress who makes old black-and-white films glow for me.
