Rosalind Russell
A supremely talented actress, Rosalind Russell is probably best known for fast-talking, strong-willed characters such as Hildy Johnson in His Girl Friday, Mame Dennis in Auntie Mame, and Sylvia Folwer in The Women. She was born into an Irish-Catholic family in the predominantly Irish-Catholic city of Waterbury, Connecticut, and made her way to Los Angeles in the 1930s, determined to become a movie star. Along with her film successes, Russell was a hit on stage, winning a Tony Award for her performance in Wonderful Town in 1953, and starring in the stage version of Auntie Mame - without a doubt her most famous role.
