Farewell, My Lovelies

Frances Dee potpourri

Some lesser Frances Dee pictures.

Good or bad pictures, I still love her.

Rolling Thunder Girl

Linda Haynes in the Paul Schrader-scripted revenge yarn Rolling Thunder (1977). She has the sweetest little voice. I understand she's a legal secretary these days.

You can watch it on Hulu.

The Varsity Drag Dress Miasma

This post started as merely an appreciation of the great dress that June Allyson wore in the Varsity Drag number from Good News (1947), and then it sort of devolved into a heavy-breathing study of her petite (5'1") long-waisted (99-pound) figure with its well-turned legs and peep-toe heels, and then...well...
...it just kind of ended with pictures of June before she got all sensible with those 1950s short hair styles. Hey, I just like her, okay?

(Like you even asked for an explanation, right?)
