Absolutely fabulous. Love "The Letter." Love her. My all-time favorite Occidental Oriental stereotype!
Agree with everything said above. The scene where the letter is exchanged is about as chilling as it gets.
The cast, the atmosphere, even the somewhat overbearing score (by today's standards) are terrific.
One of my absolute favorites!!!
I know she spent a lot of time playing pseudo-Asian people, and those parts are fine (and racist), but my favorite performance of hers is in Anthony Adverse. I love the way she spits out "that girl used to wash. my. clothes." She's incredible.
That character and Ona Munson's "Madame Gin Sling" are incredible - even Myrna Loy played "Occidentals" early on (accidentals?)
Once again, remember her name, Or bitch will cut you.......with her dress.
What a mysterious lady. Was she spiderwoman in a Sherlock episode? She was always so sinister and fascinating. I will never forget her. Johnny
She was originally cast to play The Wicked Witch of the West" in "The Wizard of Oz" but got replaced in one of the myriad re-writes/re-vamps.

There's a great makeup test shot of her as glamorously evil; Wicked Witch. Loved her in "The Blue Bird” where she played the glamorously evil Tylette
Bitch killed Bette Davis... She is not to be trifled with. Evah!
If you are interested in the background of the play, "The Letter," I suggested doing a little research. It is quite interesting.
There is also a some interesting bit a film trivia about he original film version, in which Herbert Marshall plays the slain lover rather than the lovesick obvilious husband.
