During the 1930s Joan Blondell with her huge blue eyes, blond hair and wise cracking personality, soon became movie goers favorite. She performed in more Warner's films than any other actress and called herself the "Warner's workhorse."

Blondell was paired with James Cagney in the film, Sinners' Holiday (1930) and The Public Enemy (1931), and was one half of a gold-digging duo with Glenda Farrell in nine films. Her performance of "Remember My Forgotten Man" in the Busby Berkeley production of Gold Diggers of 1933, in which she co-starred with Dick Powell and Ginger Rogers.



Even though she was cast in many of the classic Warners musicals, she was not a singer, and in the Forgotten Man number, she mostly talked and acted her way through the song. In 1937, she performed opposite Errol Flynn in the film, The Perfect Specimen.

By the end of the decade, she had made nearly fifty films, leaving Warners in 1939.
