It's Julie Christie Day!


Everybody can use nine photos of Julie Christie.
Well, not everybody. But...hey...you get my drift.
I've got a friend who adores Julie Christie.
And, after all, who wouldn't?
He also adores Mia Farrow, who seems way too
jittery to me. But he likes jittery women.
He likes Sigourney Weaver a lot, too. And she's
not jittery. If she quit smoking (see a couple posts
ago), she might become as jittery as Mia Farrow.
But back to Julie Christie. I liked her in Shampoo.
I liked almost all the actresses in Shampoo. There
was Lee Grant. There was Goldie Hawn. There
was Luana Anders. There was Carrie Fisher.
There were lots of Sixties fashions and hairstyles.
And there was Julie Christie. Nine pictures of her
isn't nearly enough, but it's all I had on such short
notice.

Smoker #6

Sigourney Weaver smoking.
How to smoke all you want.
Sylvia Sidney. SMOKIN!

No Heels in the Gym!

Steve Reeves and some other guy.
Steve Reeves
I ran across these photos and thought they
were funny (in a backward sort of 1950s
gay subtext sort of way).
Yes, that's Steve Reeves, who played
Lieutenant Bob Lawrence in the Ed Wood
masterpiece Jail Bait in 1954. That same
year, he played Jane Powell's boyfriend
in Athena. (Aaaaah, Jane Powell.) Athena
is silly, but also features Debbie Reynolds
(Mmmm) and Linda Christian (Yes!).
Steve went on to play Hercules in Europe.
I could do this lying down.

desktop. Still uploading from a borrowed laptop.)

Car Girl #4

The ultra-cool Pier Angeli.
Someone out there likes Pier Angeli. Tasty hair. Tasty legs.
And tasty wheels. Life doesn't get any better.
(Now if my computer would just work right...)
Ava Gardner takes a trip.
Okay, so it's not a car. It's Irena Demick on wheels.

Ali Baba 1943.
