  1. Well, I might be getting my fashion shows mixed up! There is the one in _How to Marry a Millionaire_, the one in _Lucy Gallant_, and one more in _Roberta_. Come to think of it, it was the one in HTMAM with the RAFFIA hat! I tried to find a picture of the model, but all I found was a doll someone made with the oufit copied to a tee!
  2. On the set of Camille: Garbo, Taylor, George Cukor, William Daniels, and crew.
  3. Allen Garfield was in _The Owl and the Pussycat_ with Barbara Streisand
  4. "Dinner and a Cocktail" Orson and Rita Tyrone and Lana Clark and Marlene George Raft, Norma Shearer, and Gary Cooper with his wife Rocky
  5. Well, besides Armand Duval (who had Garbo as his lover), and Larry Darrell (who was the greatest "soul searcher" in movies), I think I will stretch myself and want to be Peter Blood! What a guy: educated, courageous, adventurous, duels with Rathbone, and ends up with Olivia as governor of the island!
  6. Martin Landau was in _Ed Wood_ with Johnny Depp
  7. Great pic, ILRM! It reminds me of the fashion show in _The Women!_ Very chic.
  8. _Camille_ Directed by: George Cukor Starring: Greta Garbo - Marguerite Gautier Robert Taylor - Armand Duval Lionel Barrymore - Monsieur Duval Elizabeth Allan - Nichette Jessie Ralph - Nanine Henry Daniell - Baron de Varville Lenore Ulric - Olympe Laura Hope Crews - Prudence Duvernoy US Release Date: December 12th, 1936 Reviewed: April 5th, 2003 Patrick I read a story once about Michael Jackson going to visit Katharine Hepburn sometime in the early nineteen-nineties. They had dinner and afterwards Michael asked to speak with her in private, so the two of them excused themselves from the other guests and went into an adjoining room. A few seconds later Michael came out and made a hasty exit. After he was gone Kate came out of the room and said in an annoyed voice, "All he wanted was Greta Garbo's phone number." Perhaps no other star in cinema history was a greater enigma than the reclusive Garbo. She walked away from Hollywood at the age of thirty-six and never looked back, not wanting to age in the public eye. What she left behind though, is an amazing film legacy and Camille is her most famous movie. Originally a novel by Alexandre Dumas fils, Camille has been filmed dozens of times, (most recently the musical Moulin Rouge!) and inspired Verdi's opera La Traviata, which predates Puccini's very similar La Boh�me by several decades. It tells the story of a beautiful French courtesan named Marguerite Gautier and her love affair with the handsome young Armand Duval in 1840's Paris. They first meet at the opera when she mistakes him for a wealthy Baron. They fall quickly in love but Marguerite is, after all, a prostitute and the real Baron pays for her services. Nothing, however, will quell the noble Armand's devotion to his Camille. That is until Armand's father (Lionel Barrymore) pleads with Marguerite to leave his son alone and not dirty his reputation by her soiled touch. She reluctantly agrees and goes back to the arms of the jealous Baron. But this beautiful creature of the night is not well. She is, in fact, dying of consumption. Camille is (with the possible exception of Wuthering Heights) the most romantic movie ever made. Garbo looks positively radiant and she projects such an appealing quality of physical fragility coupled with an impossibly optimistic spirit. On her deathbed, unable even to stand up, she clings to a glimmer of hope in the arms of her beloved. Robert Taylor is dashing in the role of Armand and George Cukor beautifully and elegantly directs. The costumes are wonderful and the sets lavish. Laura Hope Crews, most famous for playing Aunt Pittypat in Gone with the Wind, gives a scene stealing performance as Marguerite's backstabbing friend Prudence. Garbo makes Camille timeless.

  9. This is the best I could do, and they are all B&W. Edith Head for Grace Kelly The blue gown for _To Catch A Thief_ The white gown for _To Catch A Thief_ The black and white gown for _Rear Window_
  10. I would say X, Y, and Z! Burt Lancaster
  11. Orry-Kelly's "Roman Goddess" for Ava Gardner in _One Touch of Venus_
  12. Ok, ILRM! This is for you: Jean Louis for Lizabeth Scott in _Dead Reckoning_ Edith Head for Lizabeth Scott in _Desert Fury_
  13. Hey randy, Linda is one of my top 8! I made a list of my top 4. I decided I could only have four men and four women (that would make eight). But, then it just became tooooo impossible, so I added another four (now I have 16 favorites)! Linda made it that time. Most of my favorites are in the Thirties, but my female second stringers are ALL in the Forties. And, even though Linda made _Daytime Wife_ in 39 with my #1 top male star, Tyrone, she is really a Forties star. I'll try to put some more Linda on later, but we both agree FA is the BEST!
  14. 20th Century Fox designer Charles LeMaire's designs for Linda Darnell. This is my favorite Darnell film: _Forever Amber_. She plays the 17th centruy equivalent to Scarlett O'Hara. Dynamite film!
  15. Ann Sheridan never looked more beautiful than for this all star show! Here is where we get to hear that husky voice sing "Love Isn't Born, It's MADE!"
  16. John Gilbert and Greta Garbo in _A Woman of Affairs_ I also think the way MGM treated Gilbert was horrible. He should have shone as brightly as any of the other greats who transitioned to sound films. His voice was fine. He was JOHN GILBERT for cryin' out loud! I firmly believe he was sabotaged but not necessary because of his voice, as is always the collective reason. Garbo did the best she could, as detached and aloof as she was concerning anything beyond herself, but even her grand gesture of casting him as her costar in Queen Christina did help, and by then his health was his greatest enemy. Gilbert's daughter reminded all of us that MGM didn't even advertise Gilbert in QC. They pretended he didn't even exist. That was the foremost outrage and blow to his ego, which eventually led to his death.
  17. Warner Brothers' Milo Anderson for Ann Sheridan in _Thank Your Lucky Stars._
  18. Joseph L. Mankiewicz directed _A Letter to Three Wives_ with *Linda Darnell*.
  19. Thanks, marcco44! Join in anytime!
  20. Here she is in gloves up to her arm pit! Marilyn and Betty
  21. Ha! It's got to be HER arm! It is probably the photography. Her upper arm looks a little hairy, too.
