R.I.P.: Ann Savage

Ann Savage, who earned a cult following as a femme fatale in 1940s pulp-fiction movies has died at 87.
The actress died in her sleep at a nursing home on Christmas Day from complications following a series of strokes.
Starting with her 1943 debut, Savage made more than 30 films through the 1950s, including Westerns ("Saddles and Sagebrush," "Satan's Cradle"), musicals ("Dancing in Manhattan," "Ever Since Venus") and wartime tales ("Passport to Suez," "Two-Man Submarine").
Savage was best-known for director Edgar G. Ulmer's 1945 B-movie "Detour," in which she played a woman ruthlessly blackmailing a stranger.
