Sophia Loren apparently uses a sink full of icecubes and water in the morning to keep her skin fresh too. So does Goldie Hawn so i read somewhere.
Nice article Frenchy! thanks alot,
I also read somewhere that Jean Harlow also used to shave of her eyebrows and redraw them.
I remember (or mis-remember!) a film I saw when I was very young about Mae West where a drag artist was showing a young Mae how to contour her face and apply her make-up. I can't for the life of me remember what the film was now but it was responsible for most of what I went out looking like in the 80's!
Anyone else remember this film?
I've also heard that Dietrich removed her lower ribs. It's hard to know what's true though.
I heard it about Jane Fonda. I have a big lower ribcage as well, so I don't blame them.I've heard that about one of the Gabor sisters, but I can't remember which one.
Not sure how much of this is true, since it is the Daily Fail, but still interesting I thought.

From a logical standpoint, removing a rib couldn't do much for waist reduction unless one was already very, very, thin, so that their ribs were somehow the widest part of their mid-section. If that were the case, removing those lower ribs would leave vital organs even more unprotected. The easiest and cheapest way to get that hourglass figure was corsets, girdles, and not eating. Although it's interesting to me how women back then weren't starving themselves on low-fat diets.
