| Biography (TMDB): | From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Isabel Jewell (July 19, 1907 – April 5, 1972) was an American actress most active in the 1930s and early 1940s. Some of her most famous films were Ceiling Zero, Marked Woman, A Tale of Two Cities, and Gone With the Wind. After years in theater stock companies, including an 87-week stint in Lincoln, Nebraska, she hit the big time after getting a part on Broadway in Up Pops the Devil (1930). She received glowing critical reviews for Blessed Event (1932) as well. Jewell's film debut came in Blessed Event (1932). She had been brought to Hollywood by Warner Brothers for the film version of Up Pops the Devil. Jewell gained other supporting roles, appearing in a variety of films in the early 1930s. She played stereotypical gangsters' women in such films as Manhattan Melodrama (1934) and Marked Woman (1937). She was well received playing against type, as the seamstress sentenced to death on the guillotine along with Sydney Carton (Ronald Colman in A Tale of Two Cities (1935). Her most significant role was as the prostitute Gloria Stone in Lost Horizon (1937). Jewell's films included Gone with the Wind (1939) (in the role of "that white trash, Emmy Slattery"), Northwest Passage (1940), High Sierra (1941), and the low-budget The Leopard Man (1943). By the end of the 1940s, her roles had reduced in significance to the degree that her performances were often uncredited, e.g. The Snake Pit. She performed in radio dramas in the 1950s, including This is Your FBI. In 1972, Jewell appeared opposite Edie Sedgwick in the film Ciao! Manhattan. Her final film was the B movie Sweet Kill (1973), the directorial debut of Curtis Hanson, a future Academy Award winner.

Saw the movie years ago but I remember great non-filter smoking by Jewell. Great Lighting and close-ups. |
The Leopard Man

Jewell smokes unfiltered in three scenes: one walking (brief); second scene, constantly smoking as a gypsy and with dangling/long drags/deep inhales/ nose and mouth exhales with great lighting (Photography); third scene, walking with Margo's character and smoking. Margo has two scenes, unfiltered: one drag inhale/exhale and tosses it away; second scene, two great french inhales. Jean Brooks has two scenes as well: first, long drag and inhale so deep viewer can barely see the nose exhale; second, nice lighting scene (cigarette) open mouth inhale with exhale. Lastly, in one scene, a woman smoking with a holder edited into Margo's second scene. One of the best smoking movies I have ever seen for variety of women and styles. A good story, too. |
