There had to have been a few who chose one side of their face over the other. John Barrymore yielded to Greta Garbo in Grand Hotel as their best profile was on the same side! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Hibi Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 LOL! My best profile is on my right side. I look a good 5 years older on the other side!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Dargo Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Ya know, I was just thinking here that MAYBE there's something inherent in the genes of anyone named "Colbert" which might contribute to their asymmetrical appearance. Uh-huh, 'cause STEPHEN Colbert has that funny shaped right ear of HIS and which he himself has called "elfin", ya know. SEE?!... (...of course then again, Stephen doesn't seem to be all that self-conscious about his ear and evidently unlike Claudette was about her nose...funny though, I would have always thought she would've been much MORE self-conscious about those big pinchable apple cheeks o' hers) Link to post Share on other sites
TomJH Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 While I can't say that I ever noticed it before, there really is a difference between looking at Claudette from her left side as opposed to the right 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites

It's no wonder she insisted on being photographed from the left in her kissing scenes. Here's an out-take of a love scene with Gable in which Claudette got annoyed when she saw they were photographing her from the right. Link to post Share on other sites

Then all I can say is thank god Capra decided to go with that whole "Walls of Jericho" scene in that flick instead, Tom!

Oh, so you're sayin' you never saw that cameo she did in Moon Over Miami then, eh?! Uh-huh. Why do you think they named the film that? Nope, it wasn't Betty Grable who does that in that flick, dude, nor Don Ameche either. Supposedly it was after a bet Claudette made with her bad-side movie double Shemp Howard one day on the set of It Happened One Afternoon(never released, and why you don't remember it) and after he dared her to do it, and she being one to never turn down a dare.....

RipMurdock Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I was just thinking about this while watching her the other day. But I also was thinkjing about if her eyebrows are painted on. They seem clownlike at least to me. Link to post Share on other sites
