Yvonne De Carlo was quite stunning in the 1940;s. Beautiful dark features. Long and lavish black hair. Quite an eye popper.

Wild Root · 12-20-2005, 10:12 PM

Fay Wray! I'm right there with ya brother!

Yep, she was a looker!

Yeah, it sure is unfortunate that she's mostly known for The Munsters. She was gorgeous in her younger days (and without the vampire get-up).

Make my vote for Carmen Miranda

Absinthe_1900 · 12-23-2005, 12:29 PM

Mabel Normand, the first Keystone bathing beauty, champion pie thrower, all around crazy person and one of the first funny ladies of the screen.

Her life would make an interesting movie.

Although as a little guy I was in love with Dorothy "Echo" Deborba!

Cant forget Louise Brooks!

She made the 20's look good!

Wild Root · 12-24-2005, 12:08 AM

Betty Hutton! She's to me one of my favorite to watch! She's got charm, sugar, spice and everything nice! And how! She's full of pep!

In this shot, you'd never know she was such a crazy silly gal!

Watch "Here Come The Waves" or "The Fleet's In" and you'll just fall in love with Betty!

I second the motion on Brooks whose femme fatale innocence is simply sui generis. I also nominate Lombard as a wonderfully deft, vivacious screwball comedienne.

Louise Brooks (Pandora's Box): "There is no Garbo! There is no Dietrich! There is only Louise Brooks!" - Henri Langlois

Carole Lombard (My Man Godfrey): "You mustn't come between Irene and Godfrey. He's the first thing she's shown any affection for since her pomeranian died. "

So many great names mentioned on this thread, hard for me to narrow it down to one...........BUT if I had to I guess I'd go with Ingrid Bergman (just something about her!) with Rita Hayworth a close second.

DanielJones · 12-28-2005, 12:52 PM

Another forgotton beauty was Anna May Wong.

Cheers!

YES! She was a CUTIE! You have some fine taste my friend!

Slate Shannon · 12-28-2005, 08:20 PM

Or how about Joan Bennett, who had quite a long career. Here she is in 1932

and in 1934

Wild Root · 12-28-2005, 08:28 PM

Oooooooooh, nice! How about a young Martha Tilton who sang with Benny Goodman's Orch? She looked really swell in the mid 30's! And well, in the early 40's too! She was sweet!
