In the noir classic, I WAKE UP SCREAMING, Landis "plain" sister is played by... Betty Grable! Imagine outshining "the woman who won World War II". But Landis did it via a combination of personality and a face and body that would cost a fortune to buy today. In addition to Grable, Landis steals SCREAMING from a cast that includes Victor Mature, creepy Laird Cregar and Elisha Cook, Jr . . .

and here's a little Carole Landis TRIVIA:
born ~ Frances Lillian Mary Ridste
* She chose the name Carole after Carole Lombard, her favorite actress. The Landis came from baseball commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis.
* The character of Jennifer North in Jacqueline Susann's 1966 novel Valley Of The Dolls was based on Carole.
* Carole was a trained pilot. She started taking flying lessons in 1940 with her second husband, Willis Hunt Jr.
* Before she started work on I WAKE UP SCREAMING, Carole's dentist accidentally spilled silver nitrate on her lips. They were blue for the first three weeks of filming!
