Well now, Johnny-O. Was it a ghost? Was it fun?

If you have ever done the impromptu Vertigo tour of San Francisco, or the Hitchcock movie night, then you know how cool the character of Midge in Vertigo was. Apparently she was not in the original novel, but added for the film. She was a great stabilizer in that topsy-turvy movie. She was the girl that Jimmy Stewart should have been interested in. Alas, he was more infatuated by a dead woman created by Mr. Elster. We will miss you Barbara Bel Geddes.

I mean what's not to like? She's artistic...



and she drives a fun car.

  • I always had a crush on Midge, Ms. Bel Geddes did a GREAT job bringing that character to life. It's wonderful that she set her sights on Hollywood and reached her goal of working with some of the greatest directors. Farewell Marjorie!

  • Midge totally reminds me of the character Barbara Morton from Strangers On A Train, played by Hitch's own daughter, Patricia. I have a crush on her too. Sheesh! :)
