Day 2 has dawned on The Third 'Favorite Stars in B Movies' Blogathon!

A new day has dawned, and another set of talented bloggers has labored through the night (okay, maybe not last night, but sometime fairly recently) to bring you accounts of actors and actresses who lent some extra class and charisma to the B movies in which they starred.

Day 1 featured a choice set of performances: Joan Crawford managing a circus with a serial killer on the loose; Oliver Reed negotiating with a crazed hostage taker; Roddy McDowall morphing from a precocious child actor into an intellectual chimpanzee; Carol Lynley dealing with Oliver Reed and something else equally strange in an old, haunted mill; Ray Milland battling wartime spies while looking absolutely stellar; and Rod Taylor breaking his nose at the end of William Smith's fist.

Day 2 promises to be equally wild and crazy, so, on with the show!
