I was just going to say Bette Davis - one that sticks in the mind is the one where she was going blind and she asked the nurse what 'prognosis negative' meant....

Oh! forgot one called I think "The Naked City". It was like a documentary type crime film from the '40/'50's and was set in New York. It was filmed out on the streets instead of the studio and is brilliant.
