Wicked Woman (1953)

This movie should be a camp classic!

If Richard Egan is attached, it has to be at least a B-movie.

One of Lily Tomlin's favorite movies!

Wasn't Beverly the mother of Tuesday Weld in 'Poison Ivy'? Loved that movie but too lazy to Google right now.

Michaels was one of six children of Denzil and Catherine Michaels.[18] Her father was a bus driver. She attended Cathedral City High School, where she played center on the girls' basketball team.[19]

In 1949, she married MGM executive Voldemar Vetluguin, producer of her first film East Side, West Side.[20] She was 21; he was in his 50s.[21][22] They divorced in 1952.

In 1957, she married Russell Rouse, director and screenwriter of Wicked Woman and many other films. They had two sons. One, film editor Christopher Rouse, won an Oscar in editing for The Bourne Ultimatum in 2007. Michaels was a Democrat who supported Adlai Stevenson during the 1952 presidential election.

In the 1980s, a cult following grew among fans of the "bad girl" 1950s melodrama genre. While this public interest centered mostly on Cleo Moore, Diana Dors and Mamie Van Doren, Michaels' contributions were duly noted, including a tribute to Wicked Woman written by Lily Tomlin in the short-lived magazine Movies. With the exception of an appearance at a film noir festival to honor her second husband, Michaels mostly avoided follow-up interviews from that publicity or attempts to lure her back into the spotlight, opting instead to maintain her privacy in retirement.

Watched an old movie few nights ago and noticed what I've always heard, the blondes in those days were the bad girls.

Tori Spelling should have gone in this direction, instead of marrying a 2nd husband and having ugly children.

R14, Tori will never be able to have attractive children.

That being said, I’d love to see this movie! Doing a YouTube search.

That phony no-talent bitch Beverly Michaels was no Cleo Moore.

Cleo's problem, r28, was that she always seemed to be good underneath. She died young. Real name: Cleouna Moore
