What actress portrayed Brigid O'Shaughnessy in the famous film noir The Maltese Falcon, directed by John Huston?

Although Mary Astor had a lengthy career, she's perhaps most recognized for her portrayal of Brigid O'Shaughnessy in The Maltese Falcon. Astor started her lengthy film career as a teenager in the silent films of the early 1920s. When talkies became popular, her voice was at first deemed excessively masculine, and she was forced to take a year off. Her career was almost wrecked by a scandal in 1936, when she had an affair with writer George S. Kaufman and was labeled an unfaithful wife. John Huston's film helped change her public perception.
