Eloquently stated Nakis. I don't know if it'll be heeded, but very well said. Seems like the internet is quite a seductive place to hide and spew unpleasantries with a resonable amount of anonymity. (THey know who they are, and so does everyone else!) If only folks would keep on topic. I think the IGNORE function helps immensely.
By the by...PAULETTE GODDARD ROCKS!!! Long live Garbo.

Personally, I like "Great Caesar's Ghost!" :-)
-
Oh damn!! That's too bad. She was also in "The Haunting."
-
Ampthor...from "Murder, My Sweet."

Just watched some of "Murder, My Sweet" and Claire Trevor was great. The acting shows but I loved her lacquered look. I died when Anne Shirley called her "a big league blonde." I bring it up becuz...welll, Lana's a blonde.

CineMaven, Thought you might like this post...
...all Lizabeth Scott! FGFinally...FINALLY I got over to the site Garland. The pictures of Scott are great. Her eyes are very mesmerizing...they bore holes into you. Sweet, sultry, inviting. Thank you so much for posting those shots. She had her place in Hollywood history and I hope she won't be forgotten. Thanxx!!

Scoundrel doesn't describe it.

ANOTHER bubble burst. Thanxxx CineSage.

Vivien Leigh.
Evelyn Ankers OR Anne Gwynne.
Hey...Paulette Goddard would have been my second choice for Scarlett. But Vivien was PERFECT. It was the role of the century.

Can't do comedy-westerns; not even my beloved Oomph Girl. Is this a precursor to her "Pistols & Petticoats"??? Love Sheridan though. Love HER!

Robert Ryan. WHAT A HUNK OF MAN!!!

I wouldn't mind folks disagreeing, but sooooo vitriolic. What did I tell you Eliza...what'd I tell ya????
Predictable. Bbleeeech! I bet he doesn't date redheads either.

Thank you JB for the compliment. Bette WAS a force to be reckoned with, wasn't she.
Bette, Emma, Ingrid, Greer, Tierney, Bancroft, Lombard, Leigh...and three nods to Stanwyck...amazing actresses.
I was happy to see Jennifer O'Neill's name listed. I don't know that she was a powerhouse like the other ladies mentioned...but I saw "Summer of '42" when it came out back in 1971 and was so touched by Jennifer O'Neill and the young boy's love for her. She was so sweet. She broke my heart. Glad she's remembered.

"Frank --- You really must see this film, I think it's a western you would appreciate---and the dvd is full of wonderful extra's. Don't miss Scott Eyman's commentary. Linda's part is small---but effective and crucuial in Doc Holliday's character development."
Boy I'LL say. Linda Darnell made boys into MEN!!! Not that Victor Mature wasn't a man in the first place, but you know hwat I mean...

Easy now Primadonna. Maybe Norma wasn't chic all the time. You know, madonna in the kitchen and...in the bedroom. Older woman, young man. Norma might've shown young Master Rooney a thing or two. ;-)
Now if it was Joan Crawford, I might run.
Oh you kid.

Ooops I almost made a mistake. I thought it was Allison Hayes in "Strangers When We Meet" but it was Nancy Kovack. Poor Allison, just a good two breaks and we might remember her for more than "The Hypnotic Eye" and "The Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman." BOTH films I love and will be looking forward to checking out "Zombies of Mora Tau." Gee, poor girl!

"With out a doubt my favorite Yul Brynner is.The King And I. He makes bald look sexy."
He's bringing sexy back. (Sorry Timberlake!)

Holly thank you for that site. I went to it and read about Allison Hayes. Very very interesting. Very sad. It seems like some folks are almost destined to not fully succeed; at least success in the definition of Hollywood. It just also goes to show me that to make it in 'the business' is such a combination of luck...who you know and luck. A simple lie turned her career from one path to another. I enjoyed her in films, and sorry to read she went through so much pain. Thanxx again.

"The Americanization of Emily."

"You're too kind CM, there other posters here far more eloquent than I can hope to be. And it's easy to babble on about what interests me."
Well...you babble well!!! ;-)

Who: Bette Davis.
Why: Becuz her characters live & die by their convictions.
What: "The Letter."
Where: I've seen this film since I was a teenager on tv.
When: This classic was made in 1940.
"With all my heart, I STILL love the man I killed."

"Ava challenged her men sexually like an equal; Hepburn, too---intellectually, but as though their superior; Rita vamped them but sometimes with a bit of inward fear, and Marilyn was always in her own orbit. Lana, to me, seems to really be with her men, as though it's the most natural place in the world for her to be."
What an interesting take on the goddesses (and Hepburn) and their effects on the opposite sex.

ChiO I think you hit the Sirkian mother lode with the mention of those four films. Yeah yeah, melodramatic. But good!

I hope they hear ya Bronxie...I hope they hear you.
...all Lizabeth Scott! FG
