If I had to pick one girl from the golden era

[sweatyspaghetti]

yeh even though im not gay(im bi,its pretty damn close) i'd sooooo be with rita. such a gorgeous woman, and you could totally tell she was a doll!!

but yeh i wasn't born in the 1920's,nor will i ever be,but yeh RITA WAS SMOKIN!

 

[Smuterella]

ooh, well, Marilyn naturally. For the femme thing. but Marlene could be pretty butch - she might do it for me generally. hmmmm.

 

[vitanola]

the late ANITA PAGE would definitely be at the top of my list.

WHAT EYES! (And the rest of her wasn't chopped liver, either.0

She passed on in her sleep on the morning of September 7, 2008, aged 98 years.

Requiesat in Pace, my lovely!

Oh my God so Rita Hayworth,you know I smoke a pipe and the occasional cigar but can't stand the smell of cigarettes, but damn the way she looked in Gilda...WOW!!!Oh just an aside for the one or two people who doesn't know this she practically chain smoked in that movie.There was something kind of vulnerable and a girl next door(if the girl next door was smokin hot) quality to her in that movie mixed with the classic femme fatale that just cooks my giblets.

 

[Miss 1940's]

my dreamboats

James Stewart and Robert Young

QUOTE=The Wolf]The only reason my wife isn't jealous of Myrna Loy is because she's dead. The pictures posted show part of why. (Lauren, great picture. It's from back when Myrna Loy was playing "exotics" like Fu Manchu's daughter)
She had elegance, charm, humor and was the "whole enchilada" to use modern parlance.

P.S. Lauren and other ladies, what guys would you pick?[/QUOTE]

 

[Dudleydoright]

Two of my favourites.

GORGEOUS !!!!!

DDR

 

[BinkieBaumont]

My vote would have to go to Miss Joan Crawford, even though she was plagued by "Womens problems" throughout her life by that i mean co-ordinating shoes,gloves, handbag, hat, lipstick, and nail polish , and lap dog.

Ginger Rogers & Jimmy Stewart, 1941

I'm a big admirer of Ginger Rogers, and she looked so darned yum when she won her Oscar for 1940's Kitty Foyle. I've always loved this picture and would like to find any more that were taken of her that evening.

 

[WH1]

Dorothy Ford, what a woman, 6'2" 38-26-38.5", I had seen her many years before but didn't realize what a beauty she was until I saw her in Love Laughs at Andy Hardy, the other night.

 

[Fletch]

I have to say...

Love Affair (1939) is on TCM right now and a guy could have done a whole lot worse than the then-40-year-old Irene Dunne. What a sleek package she was - breeding, beauty, musicality. Still frame from the film:

"Believe me my dear, zere is nossing wrong wiz him zat a good woman could not make right." Hey, I resemble that remark.

 

[Lorena B]

Give me as a man Jimmy Steward and as a woman the fabulous Ava Gardner

 

[jasmynskyes]

It's hard to pick just one (or two ) but ever since Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, I've had a thing for Jane Russell.

 

[Lone_Ranger]

The trick is to pick just one...

Carole Landis, and the "pre-Lilly Munster, Yvonne De Carlo, are quite stunning. But, to pick one, I'd have to say, Ava Gardner.

Or better yet, Kate Beckinsale, as Ava Gardner, in The Aviator.

 

[Spitfire]

Most of the women in these 18 pages looked wonderful between their teenage years and their early thirties, but Audrey and, especially Sophia (born in 1934!) looked better into their 60s than most people do in their 40s. As spitfire posted more than a year ago, she was great yesterday, and she's still great today.

...and today!

 

[Akubra Man]

I have two that are very easy on the eyes: Greta Garbo and Jane Russell. So very different and so very special.

 

[mannySpaghetti]

Oh that's an easy one. MARTHA VICKERS!

She was "Carmen Sternwood" in the "Big Sleep" with Bogie and Lauren Bacall.
GA GA GA GOOEY!!!

 

[Levallois]

I'm always been partial to Olivia De Haviland.

John

 

[Subvet642]

I'd have to pick two: Myrna Loy and Norma Shearer. Ok, and one more, Doris Day in "Romance on the High Seas". She was all of about 26 then, wow!

 

[donCarlos]

I was deciding between Lauren Bacall, Rita Hayworth and Veronica Lake.

And the winner is... Veronica Lake (for now)

There is only thing she would need - a bit more height.

 

[Miss Golightly]

My choices are not all from the Golden Era but I couldn't not mention them!

Marilyn Monroe (two because she's incredible - I just love that whenever you see pictures of her with other people everyone is smiling - that's the effect she had on people)

Audrey Hepburn

Rita Hayworth

Grace Kelly

Ava Gardner

Louise Brooks

Gene Tierney

Tippi Hedren
