Beautiful and troubled actress Linda Darnell was born 100 years ago today, on 16-October-1923. She spent most of her career under contract with 20th Century-Fox, but Fox had trouble finding suitable roles for her.

Forever Amber should have been Darnell's big break, but the critics didn't like it. The book was considered smutty by some and the Legion of Decency condemned it. She fought with director Otto Preminger.
