About Scarlet Street- Joan's Oscar chances were severly compromised because her then-husband Walter Wanger (who produced the film) also happened to be the president of the Academy at the same time!  If she had been nominated, it would've been something of a scandal, like when Mary Pickford (an Academy cofounder, and then-wife of Academy president Douglas Fairbanks) won her Oscar in 1929.

Joan's voice was what was called a "Mid-Atlantic" accent.  Definitely a throwback to the days of Lynn Fontanne and Katherine Cornell.  Olivia deHavilland has used that voice to similar effect on and offscreen as well.  Here's a great story: during the filiming of The Sound of Music, it was decided that the children playing the vonTrapp kids needed to speak the same way because they came from different locales.  So, they came up with the young actors using the "Mid-Atlantic" accent.  Check it out next time you see the film.

It's a shame that daytime nowadays doesn't have actors who were brought up in the theatrical tradition as Joan was.  She set the standard for acting on DS, and where can you find actors like Jonathan, Grayson, Louis and Thayer now?
