"I am so sick of seeing history's most beautiful female actors portrayed as old women. How many times have you seen Joan Crawford as a 50 year old with enormous eyebrows and clown-like lipstick, Bette Davis as a shaky old woman with a cigarette, Elizabeth Taylor at 220 pounds, or Shirley MacLaine as a psychic nutcase? These actresses burst onto the Hollywood scene as beautiful young women, and they should be remembered as the gorgeous girls that they were." This blog is my shrine to them. It's my blog, so I can do whaever I want. So there.
Clara Bow. She was the "It" girl of the 1920s. She was like America's first sex symbol. See her movie 'It'
Greta Garbo. (1930s). She was so great! And incredibly beautiful. Her portrayal of Anna Karenina in 1935 was amazing. My favorite quote of hers is:"I never said, 'I want to be alone.' I only said, 'I want to be left alone.' There is all the difference in the world."
Bette Davis. (1930s). So many songs have been written about her. Ever heard of Bette Davis Eyes? Yup. She's a beauty. And one of the greatest dancers of all time.
Jean Harlow. (1930s). The original blonde bombsell. Marilyn patterned alot of her signature 'pouty looks' off of early Jean Harlow films. Just so you know.
Joan Crawford (1930s). Back when she was beautiful. I wish America remembered her like this. Look at how gorgeous she was!
Alice White. (1930s). She used to tour with the original Vaudeville company. How cool is that? Amazing!!!
Liz Taylor. (1940s). One of the most beautiful women of this century, and the last great actress to come out of Old Hollywood.
Hedy Lamarr. (1940s). She turned down the lead role in Casablance when they offered it to her. I was so upset when I learned that, because she is AMAZING! See her film "White Cargo." Her quote: "Any girl can be glamorous. All you have to do is stand still and look stupid."
Lauren Bacall. (1940s). She married Humphrey Bogart in 1945, when she was just 20 years old, and stayed with him until 1957, when he died of throat cancer. I wish actresses today were as loyal. Her quote: "Find me a man who's interesting enough to have dinner with and I'll be happy."
Ginger Rogers. They patterned the movie star, "Ginger Grant" (from Gilligan's Island) After Ginger Rogers and Cary Grant, two of Hollywood's greatest personalities. Her best movie, by far, is "Top Hat" with Fred Astaire. The Dancing is incredible. Her quote:"When two people love each other, they don't look at each other, they look in the same direction"
Grace Kelly. (1940s). Proof that the fairy-tale 'happily-ever-after' is achievable, this amazing woman left her flourishing career to marry Prince Rainier of Monaco. The people of Monaco loved her right up until the day she died. She was only 57.
Audrey Hepburn. (1950s). I can't say enough about her. She is the BEST acress of all time. Movies like "Breakfast at Tiffany's", "Roman Holiday", "Funny Face", "Sabrina", and "Wait Until Dark" attest to that. I am so sad that I never got to meet her. She died in 1993. Her quote: "I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it."
Shirley MacLaine. (1950s). She was so beautiful. I'm very frustrated that she spent all those years smoking, which wrecked her looks, and her amazing voice.
Anyway. That's my tribute to all the beautiful women that I look up to. Go see their movies. DO IT! --Kami
