50th Anniversary! SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS March 6, 2011

50th Anniversary! SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS, 1961, Warner Bros., 124 min. Natalie Wood gives her greatest performance as an anguished teenager in love with high school beau Warren Beatty, in director Elia Kazan’s heart-wrenching portrait of 1920s America. Wood’s tormented cries of "I’m a good girl, mama" come from some haunted place few actresses ever reach - her work here earned Wood her second (of three) Oscar nominations as Best Actress.
