Elizabeth Taylor

Betty Grable

Ingrid Bergman

Catherine Deneuve

Raquel Welch

Sophia Loren

VIVIEN LEIGH!!!!! Really, that's all I got.

[link] [reply]

She is really rather stunning :D

[link] [parent] [reply]

Katherine Hepburn! I ♥ her.

[link] [reply]

So. much. Every time I see a movie with her, I am stunned again by how awesome she is.

[link] [parent] [reply]

RITA HAYWORTH IS MY FOREVER GIRL!!!

<3333!

I really love ALL these lovely ladies, though. YAY old-school glamour.

[link] [reply]

yay!

Old-school glamour is the best. I used to have a bathing suit that was pretty much exactly like the one Rita is wearing on that bed. I loved it SO. MUCH. and then it disappeared when I went to college. D:

Oooh, I have that second pic of Betty Grable tacked over my desk in my dorm room. My bff gave it too me. So pretty!

[link] [reply]

I remember discovering her back in high school. She's awesome. :D

[link] [parent] [reply]

Liz Taylor! Catherine Deneuve! Catherine Deneuve with her cigarette and her upturned collar and her bracelets!!! I really, really like that photo of her.

[link] [reply]

I so would do Catherine in that picture with her smoking in a heartbeat. Even though she would smell of cigarettes which is usually offputting. but GOD she's gorgeous in that picture. She's such a MILF ;)

Curves are super happy-making. Aren't they gorgeous?

Lauren Bacall, please? *grins*

These are absolutely fabulous, hon. Thank you SO much. SUCH gorgeous, gorgeous women, with such CHARACTER, too.

[link] [reply]

Lauren has been added to the list. There are definitely enough other old school women to make another whole post of them, though I might sprinkle them in with modern times... who knows! :D

You are most welcome! I love that I have a list with more than 100 women on it that I've already posted about and I have another list with more than 100 women on it that people want me to post, and I've more in my head, besides. Not that I'm averse to the pretty boys popping up on my flist, but still ;)

[link] [parent] [reply]

Guh! Such gorgeous, CLASSY women. And Vivian Leigh, gods!

[link] [reply]

Leigh is utterly stunning, isn't she? And yes. Classiness ooozes off the screen with these ladies. I think it's something to do with their super supportive undergarments ;)

[link] [parent] [reply]

the young elizabeth taylor was just unearthly beautiful. you've chosen stars i adored when i was a kid watching Saturday Night at the Movies. i had a girl-crush on betty grable, for one. thanks for these terrific photos!

[link] [reply]

I remember seeing Cat on a Hot Tin Roof for the first time and nearly falling over with how utterly beautiful she is. It's almost shocking.

I'm so glad you enjoyed this selection! :D :D

[link] [parent] [reply]

Myrna Loy. Oh man, I am completely in love with her.

[link] [reply]

Isn't she amazing? There is something about her that is utterly unique.

[link] [parent] [reply]

Oh, Marilyn. <3
And Raquel Welch has amazing hips.

[link] [reply]

Marilyn is probably my favorite. The one material thing I was sad to lose in my 'divorce' was the framed print of that picture of her lifting weights.

[link] [parent] [reply]

I have no idea why, but I just love the shape of Elizabeth Taylor's face. She's just gorgeous really. As they all are. =D

[link] [reply]

She really is ridiculously stunning. There is something otherworldly about her :)

[link] [parent] [reply]

Marlene has always been a favourite of mine. If I could look like anybody, it would be her. ♥

[link] [reply]

Marlene is AMAZING. Utterly stunning in a suit or an evening gown. I would love to look like her!

[link] [parent] [reply]

UNF UNF. I so TOTALLY love these posts, darling. Thank you! ALL these ladies are amazing. ♥

[link] [reply]

You are very welcome! I am so glad other people get joy out of them, too.

Hello, oh American midwife friend, please may I interrogate you?

I've got a new-baby-in-hospital ficbit, and I need to mention those rooms full of babies with the big window to stare at them that they always have in TV - they're called nurseries, right? And those little trolley things you cart babies around in, those are just called cots, yes? Or do they have some fancypants name? More specifically, if they do have a fancypants name, is it one John Winchester would use in his head?

Thank you!!

(Also, wow, some of these women are a lot hotter than I gave them credit for in my head.)

[link] [reply]

yes, that room is called a nursery. In England they are called cots, but I don't know that they'd be called that here, because babies sleep in cribs, and cots are what you unfold and sleep on at camp. I have no idea what the wheelie things would be called here, though.

:D

WOW. This is my favourite HH post so far.

[link] [reply]

so glad you liked! :D

[link] [parent] [reply]

FABULOUS!! I love these pics.

And if you're keeping a list of more, please add Ginger Rogers, Cyd Charisse and Josephine Baker. (I guess I have dancers on the brain. Heh.) :-)

[link] [reply]

Added to my list! :D What a perfect icon. I'm grinning so huge now.

Stunning! I love so many of these actresses and their classic, fabulous movies.

May I put in a vote for Greta Garbo if you do part 2?

PS: I read your comment about Cat On A Hot Tin Roof - I can never not watch that movie when it is on tv. (I love Tennessee Williams plays.)

[link] [reply]

Greta is on my list. She's awesome.

I've only seen Tennessee Williams plays turned into movies. I'd love to actually see one on stage at some point. I do love that movie.

[link] [parent] [reply]

Vivien Leigh has the most beautiful bitchface ever, man. I used to watch Gone with the Wind as a kid and hope that one day I'd grow up and be able to smack people and hurl invectives looking that sharp and pristine, lol.

P.S. Hi! I like your fic so I'm a-franding you, :D.

[link] [reply]

She has a genius bitchface. And gorgeous, it's true. :D :D

Hello! and welcome.

[link] [parent] [reply]

I feel pleased with myself; I only missed two*, and one of those was because I was so dazzled by Myrna Loy. In my next life, I want to come back as Nora Charles! So I can look like that. And exchange witty banter with my rich, sophisticated husband who worships the ground I wank on---er, walk on.

* Sorry, I can't pick Catherine Deneuve out of a line-up and I mistook "One Million Years BC" for "Barbarella".

[link] [reply]

I actually didn't recognize the young Deneuve picture, as I've mostly only seen her a little older.

Isn't Myrna dazzling? There is something about her.

[link] [parent] [reply]

back when classy was classy.

[link] [reply]

Indeed. :)

[link] [parent] [reply]

*sighs happily* I love the beauty of these woman
- thank you for making my day that much happier <3

[link] [reply]

I'm so glad I could make your day that much happier! They are stunningly beautiful.

I love your icon so much!

Gorgeous one and all!

No Grace Kelly?

[link] [reply]

Grace is definitely on my list for next time I do "old school"

I never realized before how much you look like Grace Kelly, actually. You have very similar faces.

[link] [parent] [reply]

MMMMM, WHO IS THIS MYRNA LOY?! She's delicious.

[link] [reply]

I know, right? She was a silent film star and then went on to star in other films into the 40s, and sporadically into the 60s.

[link] [parent] [reply]

*falls over dead*
i've never seen a pic of Munroe in jeans before. humminahummina!

[link] [reply]

I used to have a framed print of the one of her in jeans on the weight bench. The one item I lost in the divorce. I'd love to get another one. Because GUH. t
