Members rasputin1963 Posted April 10, 2008 Members Share Posted April 10, 2008 I'm a big sucker for those Douglas Sirk technicolor weepies of the 1950's, like: IMITATION OF LIFE WRITTEN ON THE WIND ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION Two of these starred Jane Wyman & Rock Hudson. I gotta say, I've been in love with the poor, ill-starred beauty Sharon Tate for a long time... I'll never ever understand why someone as kind and gentle as she was had to cross paths with someone as twisted and evil as the Manson bunch... If anything killed the good vibes of the 1960's, it was this incident. I loved Agnes Moorehead.... Those who only know her as "Endora" are missing out on her better work.... I did go through about three years in the 1990's when I bleached my hair blond, trying to look like Steve McQueen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Raymar Posted April 10, 2008 Members Share Posted April 10, 2008 I love the silent film era, they were the first to rule Hollywood and the surrounding areas. This is Louise Brooks, she knew them all, moguls too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Louise Brooks, she knew them all, moguls too. I think all girls looked like that back then, she looks like all the pictures of the gold rush girls up here. But yeah, HOT! We have a little thing here in winter where there are some younger ladies who dress up as the Can-can dancers and go around town, bar to bar and do dance routines in their 1900 hooker outfits. It's pretty dirty, but i don't think the girls realize HOW dirty, but i don't tell them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rasputin1963 Posted April 10, 2008 Members Share Posted April 10, 2008 Elizabeth Montgomery makes me want to vomit. Uhh.... why? "What's not to like?" as they say. I'd always heard that EM was highly intelligent while VL was dumber'n a bag o' spanners. Actors and moviemakers loved working with EM; but-- by nearly every account-- rued the day they ever laid eyes on VL. I always thought of EM as kind of the American Deneuve...

Bogart is THE man (IMHO of course!! )As an aside, I saw some blerbs on TV about Veronica Lake..... they said she was fun, didn't take herself too seriously and understood she was there as eye candy. Personally, I would have loved to have met her (when she was young and hot!!) but EM would have been cool too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rasputin1963 Posted April 11, 2008 Members Share Posted April 11, 2008 A good friend of mine eschews your more bodacious beauties, and instead prefers the boyish, flapper figures of such stars as Fay Wray: He tells me he finds KING KONG (1933) very erotic, for reasons known only to him. He says that, in the original cut of KING KONG, (extant somewhere) the gorilla actually removes the filmy top of Fay Wray... actually revealing her bare breasts! but this was way-y-y too much for an American audience in the Great Depression...
