Shemp is interesting. He's actually my favorite Stooge, and perhaps because he worked in films not related to the Three Stooges.

Always enjoyed Felix Bressart, noticed him in The Shop Around the Corner.

Mary Wickes was a great character actress (loved her in Now Voyager and other films).

Dame Gladys Cooper (also in Now Voyager) was a great actress. I saw her in The Song of Bernadette, The Bishop's Wife, etc.
