Hawksian woman



In film theory, a "Hawksian woman" is a tough talking female character archetype popularized in movies by film director Howard Hawks using actresses such as Ann Dvorak, Rosalind Russell and Angie Dickinson. The best known Hawksian woman is probably Lauren Bacall, who played the type iconically opposite Humphrey Bogart in To Have and Have Not and The Big Sleep.
