Drake went on to a variety of assignments at such second-rung studios as Republic, Monogram and PRC. Her most famous role was the other female lead in the cult classic Detour (1946); as Tom Neal's nightclub-singer girlfriend, Drake was permitted to warble "I Can't Believe That You're in Love With Me" before relinquishing Neal to top-billed Anne Savage. Claudia Drake's last film characterizations were Indian "squaws," a demeaning term even back in 1949: she played Turquoise in Indian Agent and Lucky Broken Arm in Cowboys and the Indians. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
