At first I wanted to hit you but... then I took a look... yes, there are some similarities... good ones! She'd have to have that beautiful big hair though... but, then again, here's what Helen looked like in 1938-1939 when she sang with Artie Shaw...

Helen Forrest

The real Artie Shaw was a bad actor and was in a number of movies. Yes, most find those late 30's and early 40's movies to be corny with good music but, heck, I think it would be swell to find some one who looks just like him... kid of like "The Man with Bogart's Face" and just play him up as Artie Shaw... it would be a cool movie if it were serious but, also kind of fun like "Tucker a man and his dream" something like that would make it a fun and enjoyable movie. And the costuming HAS to be SPOT ON! With the things we can do with film today, they can recreate so many things... even the '39 World's Fair!

It could be a movie about Shaw and his music but, also a good educational type of film about the late 30's and early 40's when Shaw's band was on fire! Also, we'd need a gal who looks like Helen Forrest! She sang with Shaw for some time in 1938 to 1940 I think. Some of my favorite songs ever are hers when she sang with Shaw.

My absolute favorite song of her's and Artie's is Deep Purple...fftopic:

Haaaay!?! lol lol Just kidding man, you're still allright with me, no matter what they say.

She can be pretty classy when she wants to.

The first time I saw her was on American Movie Classics, a 1978 movie that took place in the 50s called American Hot Wax. Plotline: "This is the true story of Cleveland disc jockey Alan Freed, who introduced rock'n'roll to teenage American radio audiences in the 1950's. You shoulda been there." Great flick; I really liked her in that, totally different from her "Nanny" thing. Wish she had stayed with her earlier style.
