Stardom is a loose word, but Lee Bryant is a clear case of a star actress with the kind of reach that turns a role into a reference point. Whatever else turns up, drama runs through the filmography. 18 titles is a lot of work for the level of visibility involved. 'Airplane!' is the work that made the name travel, with Mrs. Hammen. 'The Good Shepherd' is the other title with comparable reach.
