Pretty, but hard

There is a class of actresses who are beautiful, but whose countenances have a hard look about them, as if there were some deep-seated meanness about them. Obviously, how they look may have nothing at all to do with their actual personalities, but they do look that way. One example is Dorothy Green, who was a familiar Hollywood face in her day. There was just something about her face that made her look as if she were about to do battle.
