I said last week that I'd be looking at movies year by year but really, I'll mostly be looking at the Academy Awards. That's how I roll.
1940: from Alfred Hitchcock's *Rebecca*:
Diva: Mrs Danvers
Mensch: the second Mrs de Winter
The Joan Fontaine character is such a severe mensch, she doesn't even have a NAME. And Judith Anderson as Mrs Danvers - - one of the greatest performances in the history of the movies.
