Oscar-winner Celeste Holm didn't think highly of Hollywood. The actress, who died at the age of 95 on Sunday, preferred to be known for her stage and television career, which lasted more than 60 years. Although her movie career had a short peak of only about 10 years (1947-57), during that time, she made an indelible mark on the big screen. In fact, she remained an intelligent, acerbic big-screen presence throughout her life. Latter-day audiences will remember her as Ted Danson's no-nonsense mother in "Three Men and a Baby" (1987), and even at the end of her life, she'd completed roles in two yet-to-be-released comedies, "College Debts" and "Driving Me Crazy." Still, she'll be best remembered for the work she did in "Gentleman's Agreement," "All About Eve," "High Society," and other landmark films of the 1940s and '50s. Here's a list of her 10 essential movie roles.

1313 Haunted Frat Legendary schlock master David DeCoteau (Voodoo Academy, The Brotherhood) strikes again with yet another entry in his ultra campy horror series - 1313. Of course, a David DeCoteau film wouldn't be complete without a bunch of tasty hunks running around in their tightie whities, and it appears that "1313: Haunted Frat" certainly delivers on that promise. However, this time around it seems like DeCoteau is capitalizing on the recent trend of nerd chic, by featuring a hot nerd as his leading man.
Starring an assortment of twinks including David Flannery, Luke Allen, Derek North (College Debts, 1313 Giant Killer Bees) and Jake Madden, 1313: Haunted Frat takes place during Spring Break. With most of the frat members out partying, the few remaining pledges are haunted by a sinister visitor. Turns out the fraternity was built atop the burned ruins of an insane asylum.

Derek North Up and coming actor Derek North, through his classic looks, comes across as a cross between legendary actor Montgomery Clift (A Place in the Sun) and JFK Jr. The young actor got his start in comedy with College Debts co-starring Celeste Holm, but it's his work in the horror entertainment field, for B-movie master David DeCoteau (The Brotherhood), in such efforts as 1313: Giant Killer Bees! & 1313: Haunted Palace that is sure to get him noticed. Will he be able to prove his uniqueness, talent and distinctiveness in future films? Only time will tell on that, but part of me suspects he might just have the drive to make it in the business after taking on an ambitious effort of having already directed and produced his first short film, a bio on none other then Monty himself, simply entitled Monty. David DeCoteau has had a wide array of...

While following the professor's orders, Redwood inadvertently unleashed a global biological disaster in the form of giant, zombie, killer bees...
