There’s a scene in Alfred Hitchcock’s famous 1950 film Stage Fright where high society actress Charlotte (played by the legendary Marlene Dietrich) looks an aspiring young actress named Eve (played by Jane Wyman) up and down.
“Darling, whatever happened to that peculiar figure of yours?” Charlotte asks, her tone haughty and cold.
“It’s a new dress, Madame,” Eve responds.
“Keep it, dear. What it does for you is worth thousands.”
It wouldn’t be remiss to think…
