Reading Room #3

Some Gays Have All The Luck

Ahhhhhhhh. No comment.

Damp Dames #1

You know, it's relatively easy to find pictures
of starlets near the pool or beside the sea,
but this category will only feature wet ones.

Mirror Mirror #1

Great Balls!

Car Girl #3

Eyebrows of Doom #3

Paulette Goddard. Talk about

"staring daggers" at someone.

Hollywood Harem #1

Okay, this new category will be called Hollywood Harem and will include any odd photo of a starlet playing a harem girl or, well, wearing a weird little costume, including--let's see now--starlets in Biblical epics, starlets in so-called sword-and-sandal or spear-and-slipper movies, prehistoric starlets in jungle epics, starlets bellydancing, starlets playing Cleopatra or her handmaidens, starlets charming snakes, starlets playing princesses and Egyptians and stuff, starlets playing Atilla the Hun's wife or Lady Macbeth's milk maid, starlets dancing for John the Baptist's head, starlets in bear skin bikinis, starlets playing the Queen of Sheba and Delilah and Ali Baba's forty thieves' girlfriends and Robin Hood's girl cousins and King Arthur's granddaughters, and starlets playing pirate girls and gypsies, and any movie with sand in it that is supposed to take place a long time ago in some place warm where they don't have to wear, like, boots and winter coats and scarves and knit hats and longjohns and stuff. Okay? Got it? Cool. Here we go...

Girl-Girl #2

No comments. Just great pairs.

Glenda Farrell and Her Pre-Code Swagger

I just can't help it.
In spite of the stupid hats, I really like
Glenda Farrell. She had that pre-Code
in-your-face go-pi$$-up-a-rope get-lost
f*#k-you-and-the-horse-you-rode-in-on
attitude. A real no-nonsense broad.


See her in Three on a Match (1932), I Am a
Fugitive from a Chain Gang (1932), Mystery
of the Wax Museum (1933), Gambling Ship
(1933), and the "Torchy Blane" movies.


Here she blows in Paul Muni's ear and ruins him (and me)
in I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang. I think she's swell.

Cool Dresses #2

Happy Birthday, Lee Remick

It's Lee Remick's birthday.
(I'm going to forego the usual mouse-over ALT
information because there are too many photos
today.)

I figure everybody should have a dozen photos
of Lee Remick.

Lee Remick was my father's favorite
actress, and it's easy to see why.


My favorite Lee Remick movies:
A Face in the Crowd (1957)
The Long, Hot Summer (1958)
Anatomy of a Murder (1959)
No Way to Treat a Lady (1968)
Hard Contract (1969)
Telefon (1977)

Sunglasses covering a black eye in Anatomy of a Murder.


Personal quote: "I make movies for grownups. When
Hollywood starts making them again, I'll start acting
in them again."



Can you pick out the fresh-faced cheerleader in this
promotional picture for A Face in the Crowd?

Happy birthday, Lee.
