Angela was awfully cute, wasn't she?

I noticed you posted Peggie Castle a page back. I love her, she was such a bombshell in I, The Jury.

Two cuties! We have similar taste, you and I. ;0 I think I saw you also like Anne Francis? I'm just about to start watching the 'Honey West' tv series. Similar to The Avengers; hope it's good!

I'm a bit confused - are we only supposed to be posting about people we find intellectually stimulating or who otherwise contribute to society? Or can we post the "I just think she's pretty" or "She has really nice hair" movie stars, too?

You can post whomever you choose, but if you've looked back through these pages, literally a handful of the same people have been mentioned over, and over, and over....zzzzzz. I know you ladies have more diversity

I think whoever floats your boat, physically, intellectually, spiritually, metaphysically, well... that's what i assumed anyway...

That's it!

Ruth Harkness

A real-life combination of Myrna Loy and Indiana Jones. Born in 1900, she was a martini-swilling, chain-smoking Manhattan dress designer/socialite married to a globe-trotting explorer -- who died mysteriously in 1934 while on an expedition to the wilderness of western China seeking to capture the first live giant panda to be brought to the West. Ruth decided that if he couldn't accomplish this goal, she would -- so she formed an expedition of her own and led it deep into the mountains near the Tibetan border, where after braving gangs of bandits and marauding warlord armies, she discovered an infant panda abandoned by its mother in the trunk of a hollow tree. She brought the cub back to America in December 1936 and instantly she and "Su Lin," the animal she considered her baby, became global celebrities. She later returned to China to bring back a mate for Su Lin, and returned in 1938 with "Mei Mei," helping to bring global attention to the need to conserve rare species, not shoot them for trophies.

Amazing lady! thank you for posting!



Funny that you mention Myrna Loy, I was about to post pictures of Mina Loy! :eeek: "......not the actress, the poet. Not Myrna Loy, Mina Loy (1882-1966). It is one of the best-kept secrets of Hollywood that the marquis name of the screen star who played Nora Charles in The Thin Man (1934) was inspired by the poet Mina Loy, who had a brief acting career at the Provincetown Playhouse in the 1910s. Mina Loy was the one of the most beautiful of a beautiful generation of poets"

But most important for me (my favorite topic ever is Paris in the 1920s) she was a member of that crowd!
In this incredible photo here we have la creme of la creme of who was who back then in Paris!
Group portrait of American and European artists and performers in Paris--Man Ray, Mina Loy, Tristan Tzara, Jean Cocteau, Ezra Pound, Jane Heap, Kiki, ...... omg!!!! Mina Loy is sitting and looking at Man Ray with his camera.

I've always wanted to look like Lauren Bacall:

Lauren Bacall has always been my crush ever since "To Have and Have Not".

 

[CocoBettie]

I have so many, but here are a few:
Dorothy Lamour

Esther Williams

Rita Hayworth

Dorothy Dandridge

Bettie Page

 

[deadpandiva]

Violette Szabo. The move "Carve Her Name With Pride" made me cry, and cry and cry.

 

[lolly_loisides]

Nancy Wake. Journalist, Resistance fighter, spy & Nazi hater (putting it mildly). She lived an extraordinary life.

 

[Amy Jeanne]

I have a thing for "ugly" women. And I'm crushing hard on Chelsea Peretti right now:

The French have a delightful expression for people who are attractive but not conventionally pretty - "jolie laide" (as usual everything that could sound harsh in English sounds lovely in French!).

 

[Miss sofia]

Like my major crush Anjelica Huston who is the most jolie-laide of them all!

 

[Miss Golightly]

Diane Von Furstenberg - she just oozes confidence and a real relaxed sexy attitude:

I'm having a serious girl crush at the moment on Florinda Bolkan - those cheekbones, that nose, that hair! Seriously underrated actress (at least outside of Italy, from what I've read).

 

[Miss sofia]

Stunning as a young starlet and well she just gives good glamour and is a game old bird. I adore her.

 

[renaissancemedici]

Monica

Ingrid

 

[Mrs Chaddsley_Corbett]

I just think she is very SHY, but very STRONG, I honestly don't have a problem with that!

[Miss sofia]

Me neither. I would love to look like her when i'm a grown up! She is my serious hair crush. Although i did read that she has a chap come round every morning at 5am to give her a blowdry.

Nigella Lawson. I can't help myself. I just adore her.

My flame has been reignited recently with the preparation for Christmas. I swear by Nigella's Christmas cookbook. I find myself laughing out loud at her little stories intermingled with the recipes and know that if I ever met her, I'd just gaze at her adoringly and nod in agreement with everything she said.

Making Nigella's Christmas pudding tonight so get to spend some glorious time reading her words and gazing at her lovely face.

Sigh.
