Ready
This is a picture of Phyllis Haver that I just
plain like. It's not the marcelled hair, that
plump elbow, or the bee-sting lipstick. It
might be the dress or the hand-on-the-hip
pose. I dunno. She just looks ready.

Nefretiri
In Cecile B. Demille's 1956 film, The Ten Commandments, Anne Baxter plays an Egyptian queen named Nefretiri, who is based on a real queen named Nefertari, who is not to be confused with Nefertiti, who was like the mother-in-law of King Tut.
Anyway, DeMille dressed Anne Baxter in several marvelously semi-transparent gowns, which you can see in the clip below.
Certain strategically lighted publicity photos (not those shown here) accidentally revealed too much of Anne Baxter's anatomy, and these negatives became very popular among Hollywood's darkroom employees. I don't have any of those pictures to show you, but I found this cool little slide show about Anne Baxter.
By the way, Cecile B. DeMille had his first heart attack while working on The Ten Commandments. He died three years later.

Happy Birthday, Barbara Hershey
February 5th is Barbara Hershey's birthday.
I love her mid-career movies, like Hoosiers
(1986), Hannah and Her Sisters (1986), The
Public Eye (1992), and Falling Down (1993).
Happy birthday, Barbara!

Amazing Grace*
(Thanks again, Dr. Macro.)
(*Certainly not an original headline for a Grace Kelly
post, but certainly appropriate to the subject.)

Happy Birthday, Blythe Danner
February 3rd is Blythe Danner's birthday. Me, I
just think she's dreamy. Sorry about the quality
and size of the photos, but they were really hard
to find.
Happy birthday, Blythe.
