Isabel Jewell (July 19, 1907 – April 5, 1972) was an American actress most active in the 1930s and early 1940s. Some of her most famous films were ''Ceiling Zero'', ''Marked Woman'', ''A Tale of Two Cities'', and ''Gone With the Wind''. ==Early life and career== Born in Shoshoni, Fremont County, Wyoming, Isabel was educated at St. Mary's Academy in Minnesota and at Hamilton College in Kentucky. After years in theater stock companies, including an 87-week stint in Lincoln, Nebraska, she hit the big time after getting a part on Broadway in "Up Pops the Devil" (1930). She received glowing critical reviews for''Blessed Event'' (1932) as well. She was brought to Hollywood by Warner Brothers for the film version of "Up Pops the Devil". Jewell went on to appear in a variety of supporting roles during the early 1930s. She played stereotypical gangster's women in such films as ''Manhattan Melodrama'' (1934) and ''Marked Woman'' (1937). She was well received playing against type, as the seamstress sentenced to death on the guillotine along with Sydney Carton (Ronald Colman in ''A Tale of Two Cities'' (1935). Her most significant role was as the prostitute Gloria Stone in ''Lost Horizon'' (1937). Jewell's films included ''Gone with the Wind'' (1939) (in the role of "that white trash, Emmy Slattery"), ''Northwest Passage'' (1940), ''High Sierra'' (1941), and the low-budget ''The Leopard Man'' (1943). In the mid to late 1930s, Jewell was seen at nightclubs with William Hopper (who appeared on ''Perry Mason'' and was the son of gossip columnist Hedda Hopper and stage star DeWolf Hopper). By the end of the 1940s, her roles had reduced in significance to the degree that her performances were often uncredited, e.g. ''The Snake Pit''. She performed in radio dramas in the 1950s, including ''This is Your FBI''. In 1972, she appeared opposite Edie Sedgwick in the film ''Ciao! Manhattan''. Her final film was the B movie ''Sweet Kill'' (1973), the directorial debut of future Academy Award winner Curtis Hanson. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Isabel Jewell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
