Joan Blondell (Kathy Bates)
Blondell was known as a wise-cracking blonde on screen, most famous for her film work in the 1930s — she starred in more than 50 movies in that 10-year span. But her greatest acclaim came for the 1951 movie The Blue Veil and the 1965 film The Cincinnati Kid. Modern audiences best know her as Vi, the malt shop waitress in Grease.
