Paulette Goddard (Modern Times, The Women)—One of the few Glamazons of the era who I feel like also walked the line of just being A Weird Little Fella. She balanced out Charlie Chaplin's The Tramp by being The Gamin (or as I think of her, The Gremlin). If you don't believe me please watch her stealing bananas.

Thomas Mitchell (It's a Wonderful Life, Stagecoach, Only Angels Have Wings)—One of those job'bing character actors who turn up in a lot of movies in bit parts. He is a very good actor, with a lot of pathos—you probably know him as the uncle from It's a Wonderful Life, or Jean Arthur's newspaper friend from Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. A salt of the earth type who brings gravitas and pathos to every part. He scrungles gorgeously.

Who is the scrungliest little guy?

Paulette Goddard

Thomas Mitchell
