Very odd to see the leads of Wuthering Heights in a goofy rom-com. Fun, though!

Binnie Barnes (1501 Vine Street) had a 50 year run on screen. She had dozens of roles, but don’t expect any of those parts to be a frail and fainting weakling. She once said “One picture is just like another to me, as long as I don’t have to be a sweet woman.” Good for her!

Today’s poster is from a movie about a different lady.
