Linda Darnell.

Linda. :love:

ALL the great beauties to choose from
BUT
The ONE who always sets my heart a pounding & my blood racing has always been.

The darling Veronica Lake

 

[Taz-man]

I would have to say Veronica Lake, Ginger Rogers, or Jean Harlow. I am torn between them!!

 

[C-dot]

Veronica Lake is so popular in this thread! Is it because of her hair, or the fact that she's so darn sultry?

 

[Taz-man]

Both but I am really partial to Jean Harlow

Who isn't? I think she was so cute toward the end of her life, when she changed her hair colour and adopted a more demure style. Knowing, too, that she was more comfortable in this look because it better reflected her personality, you can see how much more she shines.

 

[Taz-man]

I wish the actresses nowadays would be as classy as she was. I am trying to base a character in my novel on her physically.

 

[Gregg Axley]

I'd have to say Myrna Loy.
But if I'm out to have a great time, it's gotta be Thelma Todd.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

I think it's that head of hair! It may not be my favorite color, but it sure it nice!

Veronica Lake...yeah it's the hair, but then it's the entire package.
She's petite, shapely, and has a sultry sizzle to her.
Hard to explain other than that.
Plus her quote "I wasn't a sex symbol, I was a sex zombie" just furthers an interest in her.

Yes.

Completely crushed between Rita Hayworth and Ingrid Bergman.

Runners up include Barbara Stanwyck, Katherine Hepburn, Lauren Bacall, and Maureen O'Hara.

For me it's always the dark beauties, rather than the sweet and beautiful Ingrid Bergman or Grace Kelly types (though that shot when the latter leans down to kiss Stewart in Rear Window makes ones' heart race!)

Here are my gals (can't pick one!):

Talking of Lousie Brooks. I just love her in this tom-boyish get up

It's probably a mix of the two...but what really makes it for me is that she lends an intelligent cynicism to her roles, much like Bacall did. I like a woman who is smart, impertinent (in a good way) and doesn't take any crap.

 

[Tomasso]

Bacall has been off my pretty list ever since I witnessed her throw a full blown hissy fit in the lobby of the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.

 

[davidraphael]

haha. My wife has a similar issue with Doris Day after seeing her throw a hissy fit in a Santa Barbara restaurant...

 

[C-dot]

Thanks for the input on La Lake gentleman!

All I have to say to that is...
