i thought i read that ONA was continually typecast after GWTW, which ultimately led to her suicide. i DID NOT know she did musicals!

No, you're thinking of George Reeves who was buried in a Belle Watling dress. Ona Munson leapt out of a window dressed as Superman.

I so enjoy her in GWTW - that movie is one of the few that makes me enjoy being southern!

wildcat, here is proof that it was GEORGE who wore the superman costume he killed himself immediately after cause he was so humilated by accidentally showing up in tights and a cape instead of his tarleton suit.

I am so amused by that- I choked on a poptart. I think i'm too old for poptarts.

He would have been stunning in the dress, too.

"she killed her husband, same as if she shot him."

"please, you musn't say unkind things about my sister-in-law."

"oh, please don't freeze me, ms. wilkes. i forgot how you liked her. but she just ain't in the same category with you, and i can't help it if i think so. she's a mighty proud woman, prancin' around atlanta like she owned it."

To paraphrase Thomas Meehan's classic "Yma Dream" monologue:

"Ona - Una. Una - Ona."

Helluva lot funnier than Letterman's ripped-off "Uma - Oprah" bit.

Although I'm sure Mr. Meehan was tickled pink at the casting of the "Producers" film...

"Uma - Ulla. Ulla - Uma!"

I'm partial to Una myself, my favorite being 42nd Street with Ginger Rogers. Hilarious!
