A Star Is Born - Judy Garland
- Commentary: Under construction.
In case you're wondering why I included so many actors in the table below who were either uncredited in the movie or had such small roles you might not even notice their on screen presence, pay attention to those "minor" names. Many of them went on, after this film, to prolific careers in both movies and television. This was not only an important movie for the entertainment industry, it was an important movie for those who participated in its production, such as Nancy Kulp (The Beverly Hillbillies) and Strother Martin (important supporting character actor in many movies and TV series).
More later.
