Jean Arthur ()
Her distinctive asset, apart from her great beauty, was her husky, sexy and instantly identifiable voice. Director George Stevens called her "one of the greatest comediennes the screen has ever seen" while Frank Capra for whom she made two classic movies, described her as "my favorite actress".

Jean received one Academy Award nomination, for Best Actress in for her performance in 'The More the Merrier'.

Or will she exist only as a shadow on a facts file in a computer somewhere, accessed once every rare years by some bleary-eyed film trainee writing a master's thesis on Subtextual Transfiguration in th

So much was she part of it, so much was her star personality defined by it, that the screwball style itself seems almost unimaginable without her."[3] She has been called "the quintessential comedic principal lady".[4]
