Of course, there are others I would have mentioned (Nancy Olson), but you have to draw the line somewhere, right? Excellent article. Thanks!

And you did feature a picture of her (albeit uncredited) from "Song of the South". So thanks for that. Keep up the good work. Todd

Best actor of the whole film, even over the great Sean Connery, is definitely Jimmy O'Dea, who portrayed King Brian in the movie... he was just so great at playing a trickster who had quite a lot of heart, but just didn't want to show it. With that good of an acting that he showed in that movie, I'm quite surprised he wasn't in more movies. But, I do thank you for giving recognition to one of the other underestimated classics, Return to Oz. -Tim
