Girl Crushes!

[Miss Golightly]

Marilyn Monroe

Audrey Hepburn

Grace Kelly

Tippi Hedren

Toni Halliday from Curve

Dorothy Kilgallen. She may have looked like a white-gloved chipmunk, but she was a hardboiled newspaperwoman who took no guff from anyone. My role model.

There are many worthy candidates here, but I have to confess, although I had never heard of her before, Isla Fisher on page 3, is simply stunning. What a beauty, and my thanks for bringing her to my attention.

 

[Amy Jeanne]

I have a big, fat girl crush on Fleur de Guerre:

Not only is she stunning, but she really is just a big dork. I love her for that.

 

[Miss Golightly]

I neglected to mention the lovely Dolly Parton - she's so warm, witty and gutsy - I could listen to talking her for hours:

Jean Arthur gets my number one vote - the face, the voice, wow! The fact that she would move mountains to help a defenseless animal pushes it up to Number One Plus!

I definitely have a crush on Myrna Loy, of whom I've never seen a duff photo, and Norma Shearer, especially when you catch her in a rare cross-eyed moment. Oh, heck, let's add Louise Brooks whilst we're at it!

 

[Lady Day]

[Snowdrop]

^^ Aww, Betty White!! Love her.

I can't believe I forgot this one.

I wanted to be Samantha Stevens so badly when I was a kid. I was crushed when I realised that you couldn't actually grow up and become a witch. (Well, not the nose twitching, glamorous kind, anyway lol)

I love this about Norma. Maybe there's hope for a lazy eyed gal like me.

I admire and am amazed by Patti Smith and I am sure I always will be.

 

[lolly_loisides]

Jessica Mitford, she was smart, funny & definitely one of my heroines.

 

[Lady Day]

Phylicia Rashad

I remember so many kids in my neighborhood wanting her to be their mom. I wasn't that delusional, but I always loved the dimension, humor and whimsy she brought to Claire Huxtable.

Ditto! She is amazing. My mom had dinner with her once; one of my favorite family stories!

God, I don't know how I forgot my musician girl crushes!! Music tends to inspire me most of all.

Poison Ivy:

Loretta:

Loretta has been my idol since I was 16; I just love her!

Miss Golightly, that was one of the most beautiful pics of Grace Kelly I saw so far (I must admit though that I'm no Kelly expert), she looks so fresh and pure, adorable.

Dame Julie Andrews

This pic is from the - in my opinion totally underrated - musical movie "Modern Millie".

I think Queen Latifah is so damn hot! Although I neither like her music too much nor do I think she usually makes good picks with her roles, I always stay on the channel when I see her. Rrrrrr!

 

[Drappa]

Oh, ditto to Dolly Parton, Isla Fisher and Phylicia Rashad. The Cosby Show will alsways be one of my favourite shows to watch.

Adding Alicia Keys, she's just so, so beautiful I think.

Natalie Wood

And ever since the Notebook Rachel McAdams

 

[Miss Golightly]

Wahine - thank you - that's one of my favourite pics of Grace!

I have to agree with you on Queen Latifah - I haven't seen too many of her movies but I just love her attitude.

My favourite other Audrey - the beautiful Ms. Tautou:

The gorgeous Juiette Binoche (I thought she was particularly beautiful in Chocolat!):

My favourite other Audrey - the beautiful Ms. Tautou:

Love her!

I'm starting to think I have a lot more girl crushes than man crushes...

 

[Miss Golightly]

Deborah Harry

 

[Lady Day]

Excellent choice!

[W-D Forties]

I have loved Sophia Loren since I was tiny, she is the most beautiful woman in the world. If I wasn't tiny, blonde and from German stock I would love to look like her!

Also Lauren Bacall - the sassiest woman in the world.
