	Jane Greer, film noir temptress (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Los Angeles -- Jane Greer, 76, an actress whose beauty and girl-next-door demeanor were subverted to marvelously diabolical effect in suspense films of the 1940s and 1950s, died Friday of complications from cancer, her son said.
		Greer became so identified with bad-girl parts that the writers of "The Company She Keeps" (1950) changed her role to suit her film persona.
		As a teenager, Bettejane Greer was crowned the "Nation's Capital Glamour Girl of 1942." After she appeared in a photo spread featuring Women's Army Corps uniforms, crooner Rudy Vallee saw her and summoned the 19-year-old to Hollywood.

		But as portrayed by actress Jane Greer, Kathie is no cookie-cutter noir firebreather; instead, Greer defies genre expectations by rendering her character as an utterly convincing damsel in distress, a wounded victim of the evil Sterling.
		Born Bettejane Greer in Washington, D.C., in September 1924, she was thrust into show business at an early age by her mother, entering child talent shows and beauty pageants, modeling professionally at age 12, and then dropping out of high school in her senior year to sing in a pair of popular local big bands.
		Greer went on to illuminate a handful of other movies, notably director Don Siegel's tense 1949 The Big Steal (also with Mitchum) and 1950's soapy The Company She Keeps, before temporarily retiring in 1953 to raise a family with a new husband.

		Jane would eventually tell Craig that she knew Jack was going to marry Holly from the moment that she first saw them together.
		Jane says the food reminds her of The Border Café back in Harvard Square, but this is really just an excuse to remind Holly of the bond between the two of them.

	MMI Tribute: Jane Greer
		Jane Greer holds a special place in the hearts of film noir buffs because of the femme fatale she played in "Out of the Past" opposite Robert Mitchum and Kirk Douglas.
		As Kathie Moffat, she was a cool killer who looked like an angel, at least at first: large brown eyes, fluffy brown hair and shimmering with a soft radiance that made grown men melt, at least at first.
		Audiences were surprised to see that Jane Greer looked great at sixty in the update & the original was shown constantly on television and even colorised.

		Tradition holds that Thomas was born in Ireland on January 3, 1723, the son of Thomas Greer and Rachel Morton—but this is dubious.
		In the early 1760s, Thomas and Jane moved their family to Rowan Co, NC, where on January 4, 1765, they bought 326 acres from James Tennin for 70 pounds.
		Jane apparently predeceased Thomas because she was not among his heirs—indeed, she may even have died in the 1770s since she would have been rather old to have borne Thomas' last two children.

		But (and here the plot thickens intriguingly), the voice-over commentator (from the DVD's bonus features) tells us that Jane Greer was between 5'1" or 5'2" (which would make her still shorter than our hypothetical fictional Napoleon).
		Now perhaps he is simply mistaken, inhabiting a still more-fictional world in which Jane Greer is four inches shorter than she is, and Napoleon is still shorter, or else he's just very very confused.
		Greer is the kind of girl who would lie about her height.

		The first two thirds of her book is devoted to identifying and understanding gridlock as it commonly occurs in relationships, careers and other areas of life, while the last section covers the cure.
		While it is common for those in gridlock to rationalize their emotionally mired state and to blame others for their circumstances, the only sure way out is to take a proactive role in life.
		In spite of a flawed assessment tool (the "Gridlock Questionnaire") with ambiguous scoring instructions and a confusing interpretation, Greer's advice, based on her clinical experience, is sound.
