Eve Arden began her film career in 1929 but perhaps her most beloved role is as the School Principal in Grease.

Moira Shearer was primarily a dancer it was of course Powell and Pressberger's Red Shoes that brought her fame.
Back to vintage postcards. Peter Ustinov is one of those actors that just make you smile. Anytime he's in a film he just lights it up. Watched him in the Sundowners recently, every scene he cracked me up.
As to James Dean who knows what he could have achieved his three major films are all standouts.
Dumbledore, Daredevil and that guy out of the Fast Show in this quartet.
