GarboManiac

Well, I must be missing something! Are we talking about obscure comedies or obscure comedy shorts that are playing on TCM right now. Cause I am not watching any of them, so if you are talking about something like that, than I am way off base and will go to my room!

Well, the newest one is, Delores Del Rio - The Most Beautiful Woman on the Screen! I tell you, that is so very needy. I wouldn't be caught dead being so unoriginal that I was forced into copying someone or something! The title is Hedy's and always has been, along with THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN THE WORLD.

Hey, thanks inglis! And, yes! That definitely counts! Being a lady, Scarlett might never actually hit you, but she would throw dirt in your face, or shoot you!!

Oh, I just go searching on the web. Sometimes I find them in the most bizarre places. Like on sites about something else or someone else and they'll have Hedy stuck in there! Pretty funny!

LOL! No! Believe it or not, I loved blondes, originally. Garbo and Jean Harlow were my favorites for years. And, I knew about Carole back then. But, when I found Lamarr, well, I just couldn't resist!

Boy, you can say that, again! I am sure she was a handful! She went up against Crawford, Shearer, and many other comers! I liked Carole a lot and would watch anything she is in, but she was never one of my personal favorites. I don't know why. But, she just never grabbed me.

It is quite alright to love Maureen! She was an exquisitely beautiful woman! I admire her tremendously, too! But, she is no Hedy Lamarr*. Granted she was a more lively actress and perhaps more sincere, but still no Lamarr! Ha! *Refer to picture, below.

Very clever! Sandwich, indeed! Ha! Well, I realize Kelly was popular, but, sorry, no Power or Hudson was he.

Oh, interesting! I probably won't have time to look at the book, but I'd say a great deal, if not all, in Hollywood either were or tried it once or twice. I would think he would be a little more comfortable with it in that huge melting pot!

Well put, Jack! Well, a more recent comedy that seems to be obscure, cause everyone I talk to hasn't seen it or heard of it (so step forward) is Easy Living. I talked about this on another thread and only one person spoke up. It stars Jean Arthur and Ray Milland. It is great and doesn't seem to get enough press!

It's ok, Jack. We are not promoting violence here. We are just reminiscing about some good ole fashion release!

Yeah, ain't it the truth! Some of my fondest memories are those that never really happened! And, ken, what are you trying to say? Did he have an affair with Maureen?

You know, no disrespect to Greta or Hedy, my two favs, but I always did go for those high forehead gals!!! Carole, Marlene, Paulette! Wow! There is just something so sexy about them. I hate hair on the face! I hate bangs! I used to tell my wife all the time, "Comb your hair back so we can see your forehead!" She had a great forhead, and hair like Rita! She was a redhead. My first wife was a blonde, and everyone said she looked like Dietrich. My second, looked like a cross between Irene Dunn, Greta Garbo, and Joan Fontaine. The one comment everyone makes about her when she is brought up is, "She was so beautiful!" And, I like to think they mean a combination of so many things. Anyway, Greta and Hedy didn't really have foreheads, but they had the faces!

John Ford and Katherine Hepburn!?!? Well, how in the heck did she find time for Spencer? You only get a couple of "30 years" in a lifetime!

Yeah, Man! He sure got a lot of action! Gardner, Hepburn, Harlow, and the list goes on!

Oh, yes, Colbert wore clothes beautifully! And, that was one of the amazing qualities of the old gals. They used to maintain their femininity while matching the guys drink for drink! I miss that! My wife had that quality. I would always have called her a lady, but she could drink like a sailor, and when angry, swear like one too, but never in public!

Oh, I am sure, dpd! Hepburn was from Boston, so she was a lady first, but she match any man at anything, I am sure! That was part of her appeal. Now, TOOMANYNOTES! I can't watch her now without noticing her neck!!! I just watched The Palm Beach Story again, which is one of my all time favorites, but I kept staring at her NECK! It isn't so bad! But, you know the problem is when you watch GARBO, my GOSH what a gorgeous neck she had, and she knew how to use it! Then, you look at Colbert and say . . . .

Oh, yeah! Colbert was definitely a guys gal! She would go fishin' with ya, and camping. Hedy belonged in a ballroom in designer gowns!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10! Ok, ok! I'm ok, now! Ok!

Oh, I agree! If you couldn't match him drink for drink, or go spit in the corner with him, then he didn't have ANY time for YOU!

I love Maureen, too! What a spitfire! And, in Sinbad, my favorite Technicolor film, she was unsurpassed!

Well, I hate to be obvious!!!!! But, we are only TALKING ABOUT LOOKS, here!!! As, to her acting ability, personality, marriage problems, we all have differing opininons, but as for looks . . . !

I don't know about that Crawford. It has taken me years to talk about her with a civil tongue! So, let's go back to Hedy!! In my book, The Films of Hedy Lamarr, it has I Take This Woman first. Ya know Hedy was such a lady, and Spencer was such a guy, I'm sure they didn't mix at all! She was more the gentleman's costar, like Powell, Taylor, Stewart and Brent.
