I can't add much to what everyone else has said about Ms. Sheridan, but I do think she was one of the best things ever to come out on a silver screen. You can take your Rita Haworths, Hedy Lamarrs, and Greta Garbos and put them in a bag and let them float away in a balloon because none of them had the sparkle that Ann had. She didn't like the nickname of oomph girl but she couldn't help living up to it. She was just the best!!!

mrsl - I know what you mean - Ann has a very sparkling personality that's many stars of her days and today do not have. I know what you mean about Rita Hayworth, Hedy Lamarrs, and Greta Garbos - because they different kind of appeal. They are all gorgeous, glamorous, and quite frankly have powerful sex appeal. But, Ann is also a favorite of mine; because she has definite charm of her own mrsl; and her charm is her personality, charisma, she commands presence, and have the smile that melts your heart. That's why I said in my earlier posts - that actress like Ann do command a sense of COMMAND PRESENCE - That's is what ANN SHERIDAN has - that my dear Rita, Hedy, and Greta lacks. I find her alluring and she holds her own. That picture that I shared (the bikini one) shows how pretty she really is ... and she shows a different kind of sex appeal. That's why she is called the OOMPH GIRL for nothing. I know that she didn't like the nickname - but you are right, but she couldn't help living up to it.
Back in those days, MEN were MEN and WOMEN were WOMEN ... In the Male War Bride with Cary Grant - my heart was beating when she wore that sexy nightgown - all the women, including her has beauty, charm, dynamite personality (she is the BEST there were), and frankly when she wore that nightgown - she is so lovely to look at.
I love all actresses back in those wonderous days of Hollywood - I often go to Movie Maiden web-site to remind myself of all the beautiful actresses, stars like Betty Grable, Gene Tierney, Elisabeth Taylor, and list goes on, and on, and on, that WOMEN of those days kept their appearances up ... my beloved Rita - spends a good hour a day making sure she doesn't go out in public in proper fashion.
Ann Sheridan did the same ... I remember one time that she always bring a pair of nylon stockings (after WWII) with her in case she has a run in her nylons. Many females stars do the same ... because THEY all care about their appearances.
Ann Sheridan is one of those ACTRESS - that cared about it all the time ...
That's why I admired her for that.
She simply is one dazzling dame with a sparkling personality that is SECOND to NONE.
