Was the work(s) she is best known for primarily after 1950?

No.

Answers so far:
1. Real person
2. Deceased
3. Female
4. NOT unusually tall
5. NOT alive at any time in the 19th century
6. Involved in the entertainment industry
7. Work she is known for is NOT primarily after 1950

Wrong guess:
Marilyn Monroe

Judy Garland

Did she mostly appear in films?

If yes, would a majority of her films be in black-and-white?

Did she star alongside your friend and mine, Fred Flintstone, or indeed some other well known leading actor called Fred?

I do not believe that she starred alongside any leading actor named Fred.

Wrong guesses:
Marilyn Monroe (cdngooner)
Judy Garland (damo666)

Was she born in Europe?

Something is telling me we're talking about Nora Jean Baker?

So, I think it's *not* Katharine Hepburn or Bette Davis because their careers carried on well into the 1950s.

I was thinking it might be Greta Garbo, but she was 5ft 7in tall, which is significantly taller than the average height for a woman born in 1905 so question 4 rules her out.

So I'm going to go for my official guess:

Is it Vivien Leigh?

We've already been told that is the wrong answer. That was cdngooner's guess.
