I have the same problem with Lida. She is not my favourite actress, I don't know why, but I don't like her... she is somehow cold in her movies

What a great thread! Thanks all for the great pictures. Some are really great finds.
The only quibble that I personally have is that 3 of the first Katharine hepburn pictures in this thread (the ones with jimmy Stewart) are from THE PHILADELPHIA sSTORY which is technically 1940
