My guess is Miss Lizabeth dropped an 'E' right by the time she became a 'lovely movie star'...

probably about the time she discovered her blonde roots, I would think.

She was never named "Elizabeth" at all. =)

And she had the most amazing speaking voice. She was the perfect noir queen.

You actually know her? I had never heard of her. I'll ask a friend of mine who's more into old movies.

Well, I know of her, yes! I watched a lot of old movies when I was a teenager. The Strange Love of Martha Ivers was my introduction to film noir. I caught it by accident on some movie channel (I admit it was the clothes that caught my eye at first) and got completely hooked on the genre. I don't much care to read the novels, but the movies...oh, oh! Wonderful.

She had a very deep voice, leading me to wonder as a kid whether she was really a man in drag.

certainly reminded me of...

She was in one of Elvis's better movies, "Loving You," and a good film noir called "Pitfall," with Dick Powell, among many others.
