MANNISH ACTRESSES and possibly or possibly NOT REAL WOMEN

[Marc Chevalier]

.
An equal opportunity thread. Depending on your point of view, it's as offensive or inoffensive as the "SISSY ACTORS and possibly or possibly NOT REAL MEN" topic.


Two Golden Era actresses who were mannish from time to time:

-- Barbara Stanwyck

-- Katherine Hepburn

Not to forget the NOT SISSY ACTORS but REAL MEN thread ...

Not that you would have seen the post Marc--considering it was in the *powder room* 'n' all (cough)--in a longago thread on purses someone posted an magazine article on "purses of the stars", one of the purses being Barb's, and the article made a great deal of her "sporty and tomboyish" (I'm paraphrasing) purse contents (i.e. compass, golf tee, and such-like).

I was watching "Funny Face" the other night and am positive Kay Thompson (who plays the Diana Vreeland-ish character) is really a man. Dietrich and Garbo obviously.

Interesting, Magneto! I'd add Joan Crawford to the list ... but maybe it's just her shoulders.

I wonder if men are afraid to post regarding this topic?

You got lucky Chev, I was typing that when the phone rang. Otherwise I would have beaten you to Crawford reference. Let's add another; Marjorie Maine.

Nancy Kulp (as Miss Jane Hathaway in the '60s TV series, "The Beverly Hillbillies".)

Georgia Backus (as Bertha Anderson, custodian of the Thatcher Memorial Library in Citizen Kane.)

I just don't see some of the women named as being mannish. Garbo?

Maybe Aunt Katherine from After The Thin Man (Jessie Ralph)

Not off topic. He was wondering if a man would post in a prior post. He still hasn't fallen off the wagon.

Lotte Lenya (as Rosa Klebb in From Russia with Love.)

Anjelica Huston I would also add to the list.

 

[otterhound]

Marlene Dietrich.

Anjelica Huston I would also add to the list.

Definitely, although she's one of my favourites and I think she's absolutely gorgeous. And does this count

Golly, I can't believe no one's mentioned Edna May Oliver!

 

[Maj.Nick Danger]

Bette Davis

Holy flying von sternbergs! It took 14 posts to get to Marelne Dietrich on this thread? :eusa_doh:

I was gonna say Edna May Oliver, but LizzieMaine beat me too it. I'll put forward Pam Grier.

Counterintuitive, I know...
