What is the Moviediva (Not So) Bad Girls film series all about? Those of you who know me from my twenty years as Film Curator at the North Carolina Museum of Art, or from my previous WUNC Radio appearances on The State of Things with Frank Stasio and Marsha Gordon, have an inkling of my taste, already. I like films with strong female characters; no victims, no doormats, no namby pambys. Women who have adventures and take charge. This series spotlights woman who are judged, for being a barroom floozie, a fake evangelist, an outspoken actress of a certain age, a romantic adventurer, a jewel thief, a mob wife. The way other people see you is not necessarily who you are. Society may call these women “bad” but they would disagree.
