Group Think #5

In celebration of our 203rd post here at the
Starlet Showcase, we're putting up some trios.

Raccoon #4

Hey! We haven't done a Raccoon post in
a while. I notice that my "RACCOON"
folder is almost overflowing with Brigitte
Bardot photographs. But that's natural
enough, since she was, like, the queen
of glopped eye makeup for a long time.
(And, like, for some reason, I'm, like,
talking, like, a 17-year-old girl tonight.
Which is, like, totally random, ya know?)
Jeez!
Anyway, I'm not going to alt text these,
because they're pretty self-evident.

We must be doing something right. By my calculations

(wild guesses), Starlet Showcase has posted about 900

photographs. And we have 7,000 visits on the counter.

Thank goodness they're not all in color or we'd be out of

hard drive space. Thanks for stopping by. Leave a comment

or something if you get a second.

Brooke Bundy, Blonde Sixties Babe

Starlet Brooke Bundy seems to have faded away.
She was born in 1944. She played her first TV
role in 1959. She starred in the 1968 western
Firecreek with Henry Fonda, James Stewart,
Gary Lockwood, and Jack Elam. Most of these
pictures are from Firecreek. The other notable
ladies of Firecreek are Inger Stevens and the
lovely Barbara Luna. Firecreek, therefore, is
worth renting. Nuff said. Her last role of record
was a 1991 episode of Sons and Daughters. Her
daughter is actress Tiffany Helm.

Gun-less Noir

A lot of people have written about Jules Dassin's Night and the City (1950). It's about the most noir film noir I've ever seen. I was amazed at the look of it, the world of shadows and fear, claustrophobia and betrayal, greed and ruin. Richard Widmark carries the thing. Gene Tierney, who is featured on the poster, doesn't do much at all. It was a Twentieth Century-Fox film made in England with a central core of American actors and several excellent British actors. Actress Googie Withers is a stand-out. She is despicable throughout and loses in the end. Richard Widmark is despicable and loses in the end. Herbert Lom is somewhat less despicable, and he wins in the end. And the whole thing is done without gunplay. Can you imagine a gun-less film noir? What was it that Godard said about a girl and a gun? "All you need to make a movie is a girl and a gun." Dissan only needs darkness, shadow, a few bright actors, and a brilliant film score. There is not a dame anywhere with a .25 caliber Baby Colt in her purse. There are no war-weary veterans with huge .45 Autos under their belts. There are no mobsters with Lugers. There are no coppers with .38 Specials. There isn't even a nickel-plated .32 semiauto in a drawer. Just light and shadow, fists and one knife. And the city of London. At night. The Criterion Collection release is gorgeous and features some interesting commentary by Glenn Erikson. Rent it. Buy it. See it.

Various Photos I Just Plain Like

I really and truly loathe Julie Andrews.

I actually had to sit (actually stand) through

The Sound of Music 14 times when it played

at the drive-in where I was working. I just

hate that movie. But I like this photo of her.

Neatly combed hair is vastly overrated.

By the Light of the Silvery Shoes

(Some of these may have been gold shoes
before they were dipped in grayscale.)

Free Nude Super Bowl NASCAR Babes

Get it done, guys. Get online and order those roses
today. Get 'em delivered to her workplace. Make
her girlfriends jealous. Show her you care. Take
the time now and get it done. Don't f*#k around
and wait until the last minute. Like you did last
year. Don't get her a NASCAR T-shirt for Valentine's
Day, unless she likes racing more than you do. Get
her roses. Don't buy her lingerie. Don't buy chocolates,
unless she's NOT on a diet. Order flowers. And not
daisies or lilies. Roses are good. Almost any color but
orange ones. Anywhere from six to 24 is good. One
is sometimes okay, if you send the right card. But
most importantly, get 'er done. Not at the very last
minute. Not the night before. Not a tiny wilted bunch
that you grabbed from the gas station on your way
home last year. Spent the money. Do it right.
Do it now.



(And pick up a dirty dish once in a while.
Maybe show her that you're All Man by
doing a load of laundry here and there.
Be careful with the bleach. Dames, babes,
broads, chicks, and spinners appreciate it
if you learn to use a toilet brush every so
often, too. No one expects you to do the
ironing or sew buttons. But get 'er done.)
