If I had to pick one girl from the golden era

[Flivver]

My all time favorite would have to be the lovely Carole Lombard. But close runners up would include Barbara Stanwyck, Clara Bow and Colleen Moore. I guess it's wise cracking dames and flappers for me!

But then there are Harold Lloyd's leading ladies Jobyna Ralston and Mildred Davis...Too many to choose from!

1. Myrna Loy...What a lady, even Robert Mitchum behaved himself around her.
2. Mary Astor...I'd love to read her diary.
3. Jean Arthur. The kind of actress I fall for again and again.

Bogey knew what he was getting into

Lauren Bacall. Wow. Sultry, sexy and mysterious. Myrna Loy had a little less mystery but made up for it with vivaciousness.

Oh and Veronica Lake!

Veronica Lake, in "Bell, Book and Candle." I was bewitched from the moment I saw her. I'm a sucker for blonde enchantresses. Nice besoms too!

Sorry to burst your bubble, but that was Kim Novak in "Bell, Book and Candle"

My vote is for the very lovely Priscilla Lane.
The first time I ever saw her was many years ago in the movie "Arsenic And Old Lace" with Cary Grant.
A closeup, she smiled, and she looked so beautiful she made my stomach hurt!

Don't know if Mae Clarke has been included in this yet (20 pages and counting!), but if she's gonna be looking like this, then the grapefruit stays on the plate!

Ya put the finger on this boob!

Thanks for the correction. I got the right dame, just the wrong flick. I meant, Veronica Lake in "I Married a Witch" (1942) A sappy movie, but what a woman! She makes me dizzy.

Get dizzy

Thanks for the correction. I got the right dame, just the wrong flick. I meant, Veronica Lake in "I Married a Witch" (1942) A sappy movie, but what a woman! She makes me dizzy.

If you enjoyed that one you have not seen “Sullivan's Travels - Criterion Collection (1941)” She is really glorious and fun in that, come to think of it, I am STILL waiting for “ I Married a Witch” and “The Blue Dahlia” to come out in DVD, and not PAL format

 

[Haversack]

Veronica Lake is also displayed to good effect in the early-war propaganda/Paramount Studio satire, _Star Spangled Rhythm_. In her brief part, she plays herself and wears a slinky black catsuit. In the song she sings with Dorothy Lamour and Paulette Goddard, "A Sweater, a Sarong, and Peek-a-boo Bang", she ends up being played in drag by Sterling Holloway. (the voice of Disney's Winnie the Pooh).

Haversack.

Why pick a girl from the golden era when there are so many beautiful ones right here.

[Diamondback]

And you guys are just realizing this now? lol

Zig, you got a good reason, but Technonut shoulda noticed before... lol

Just giving you guys a bad time, that's all... A little good-natured ribbing, no actual offense meant.

I don't wander out of the Jacket Forum much.... [huh] Don't worry, I'm coming around...

This is true.... I don't mind a bit older or younger... But 80 would be an issue.

Hey Zig, how about someone that is the same age as you?
