Coverart image to be confirmed. Judy Holliday won the 1950 Best Actress Oscar for her brilliant and funny role as Billie Dawn, the dumb blonde girlfriend of Harry Brock (Broderick Crawford), a corrupt millionaire junk dealer. Brock, a man with social ambitions and a willingness to do anything to fulfill them, is embarassed by Billies crass behavior and lack of social sophistication. He arranges for her to take a crash course in culture from a handsome, young journalist (William Holden). Billie blossoms under his kind tutelage and becomes increasingly aware of her role as a pawn in Brocks crooked business deals. Brock is surprised and outraged when Billie suddenly refuses to cooperate any longer. This is classic comedy with an unforgettable performance. 1950 Academy Awards - Nominated for: Best Picture, Best Actress -Judy Holliday (WINNER), Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Costume Design
