  1. Let's let those kids fight about Garbo (who I love) while you and I talk about Ingrid Bergman.

     

    There were great beauties and other actresses who I really like; A-stars, B-stars...no matter. But there's something about Ingrid Bergman who breaks my heart. I can't stand to watch her tortured ("Notorious" "Gaslight") and I think she's incredibly sexy. She is truly one of my top two favorites. (Lovin' Isabella!)

  2. I enjoyed here with Chaplin. And she has one of the great stage names of all time.

     

    But the star on the Walk of Fame...I don't see that being in the cards. Folks barely remember Chaplin. And he was a Master.

  3. "It's sad how there are so many underrated talents out there. Him, Steve Cochran, Scott Brady, John Ireland, Joel McCrea, Forrest Tucker, and Franchot Tone. (just to name a few)."

     

    I was never a fan of Robert Montgomery's but I respect he was a talent. He never appealed to me and I've only watched becuz of someone else in the cast (mostly Shearer). I wholeheartedly agree about those you mentioned above as just under the radar. What separates a Forrest Tucker from a John Wayne, a John Ireland from a Dana Andrews ;a Franchot Tone from any erudite, urbane player like Ray Milland. Is it looks, the way they part their hair. What? I couldn't really enjoy "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" because of him. Help me out.

     

    I've seen Elizabeth Montgomery's kids by Bill Asher. Hmmm...nothing to write home about, frankly. She was a real beauty and very likeable. Her loss still saddens me.

  4. "oh yes i agree. everytime i try to find pics of any red-head i always look for color ones first. they justify that bright red hair more so than with plain black and white! especially dealing with the flaming red-heads like greer, maureen and lucy and all the other techini-color beauties out there."

     

    Let's not leave out Susan Hayward and Rita Hayworth.

     

    Well well, Frank...it must do your heart good to see how much you're admired here on the Message Board. WoW!!

  5. Oh Mark, I don't want to go to jail. I'd rather stay with you."

     

    You guys can make fun of "MARNIE" if you want. It has flaws...but who cares.

     

    Yeah yeah, 'Tippi' is that blonde uptight ice queen. And as Hitch shows Mark (Connery) trying to break her down, that's the motif he uses often in his film. The idea is to get that bun loose and untangled. And once you do... Boys, it's the hunt...the HUNT!

     

    What woman wouldn't want to be on an empty ship with Sean Connery?

     

    I love Connery's eyebrows and his sick twisted psychosexual obsession with a girl who he must blackmail and rape to get; to make her his. Gosh, I love a good romance.

  6. Hey Frankie G: "You know, I've yet to watch The Bad and the Beautiful and it's a film I've been wanting to see. Your words push me closer to the brink. I need to put aside some time to check out Gloria's Oscar-winning performance."

     

    "The Bad & the Beautiful" is a great Hollywood-on-Hollywood film in it's totality. Don't expect too much from Double G in this film. I scratched my head as to why she won that Oscar...but grateful she did. She's always a delight to watch though.

  7. No no FCD...I didn't infer any implication that you thought she was a bad actress.

     

    I, myself, cannot stand to watch the film again. Saw it (at Radio City Music Hall) when the movie was released. But since that time, yeah...gag me with a spoon.

     

    And with some ladies, you couldn't pay then to kiss a guy. But James Stacey, I dunno...he was a hunk!
