It's a happy birthday to '30s-era B-movie babe Joan Blondell, who would have been 102 today had she not passed away on Christmas Day, 1979. Blondell perhaps most memorably paired with James Cagney in two 1931 features, The Public Enemy and Blonde Crazy (below).



Other work of note includes Three and a Match and William Wellman's Night Nurses, with Barbara Stanwyck, which is a (somewhat unintentional) hoot.
