Claire Trevor: did she ever play a virtuous/good woman? (Possible spoilers)

I’ve seen Claire Trevor in several classic movies (Dead End, Stagecoach, Murder My Sweet, Key Largo, and probably others) and she always seemed to play a “bad” girl, sometimes hard-bitten and really evil, sometimes good-hearted and the victim of circumstances. Usually there’s a good girl in the story, to whom she was contrasted. These roles included prostitutes, gun molls, and a woman who married for money (and killed to keep it).

Did she ever play the good girl? Was she successful in those movies (good reviews, movies made money)?

Was this bad girl trend typecasting based on early success, or was it just (in your opinion) the kind of acting she was good at?

Her character in The High and the Mighty had been around the block a couple of times, but by no stretch a villain.

There oughta be a home for dames like me. Yup - we shoulda organized. You know, a house somewhere with no mirror in it, far away where we never have to look at a young girl. They have homes for unmarried mothers but everybody forgets about the girls who - who never quite managed to make things legal. I think I could start one! Yeah - I could call it the May Holst Home for Broken-Down Broads. I kind of like that, don’t you?

She got good reviews, but Jan Sterling, who played a character even more broken down, got the Academy Award nomination.
