Ooo, my soul mate is Bette Davis, I just knew it! (Though I didn't dare hope for it.) Some say I resemble her, I adore her, oh I'm so pleased. The description is very true:

mt1124295429.jpg

You scored 31% grit, 33% wit, 24% flair, and 31% class!

You're one smart cookie, and you know it. You also know how to let everyone else in on the deal. You've worked hard to get where you are, and sometimes you might not have played fair. You are ruthless but charming, and the light of intelligence sparkles in your eyes. When cornered, you can and will act, but you'd rather have things go your way and live a life of ease and comfort. It's not a great idea to cross you; you will run the competition down like a rabbit, and leave them wondering what hit them. Your leading men include Errol Flynn and Paul Henreid, men who like a feisty gal with a touch of class.

P.S. My boyfriend just did the test and turned out to be Humphrey Bogart! It says he goes for complicated dames and hot chicks with problems hahaha. Hmm, is Dark Victory the only picture they did together? At least there was a passionate scene...

Edit: Oh, I didn't know Bogie and Bette had starred in so many films together! 6 pics in the 30s:

So I guess they were a good match.

Myrna Loy
You scored 24% grit, 24% wit, 24% flair, and 45% class!

You are class itself, the calm, confident "perfect woman." Men turn and look at you admiringly as you walk down the street, and even your rivals have a grudging respect for you. You always know the right thing to say, do and, of course, wear. You can take charge of a situation when things get out of hand, and you're a great help to your partner even if they don't immediately see or know it. You are one classy dame. Your screen partners include William Powell and Cary Grant, you little simmerpot, you.

I'm happy because I just discovered Myrna and she's becoming a favourite!

Your result for The Classic Dames Test by gidgetgoes ...

Rosalind Russell
You scored 14% grit, 38% wit, 33% flair, and 24% class!



You are one wise-cracking lady, always quick with a clever remark and easily able to keep up with the quips and puns that come along with the nutty situations you find yourself in. You're usually able to talk your way out of any jam, and even if you can't, you at least make it more interesting with your biting wit. You can match the smartest guy around line for line, and you've got an open mind that allows you to get what you want, even if you don't recognize it at first. Your leading men include Cary Grant and Clark Gable, men who can keep up with you.
Find out what kind of classic leading man you'd make by taking the Classic Leading Man Test.


I love Roz. I would have liked to be Myrna also.

William Powell - 5% Tough, 43% Roguish, 10% Friendly, and 43% Charming!

"You are the classic rogue, a stylish rake with the devil of a wit and a flair for mischief, and you shake your martinis to waltz time. You are charming and debonair, but slightly untrustworthy, and women should be on their guard. If married, you are simply a bit of a flirt, even if it's just with your own wife...but if you're single, watch out. You usually rein yourself in to concentrate on one lovely beauty at a time, but with you, we never know. You're an inviting partner, but there's a playful devil behind your eyes, and those trying to get close to you should know they're playing with fire. You're stylish and fun, but you follow your own course, which may or may not include a steady gal. Co-stars include Myrna Loy and Carole Lombard, classy ladies with an adventurous streak."

I like classy ladies with an adventurous streak!

I am so excited that I got Myrna Loy! Very classy lady and funny too. Always seemed to be having a lot of fun in the Thin Man movies. And to be matched with Cary Grant and William Powell, can it get any better than that? Swoon!!

You scored 40% Tough, 5% Roguish, 43% Friendly, and 14% Charming!

You're the original man of honor, rough and tough but willing to stick your neck out when you need to, despite what you might say to the contrary. You're a complex character full of spit and vinegar, but with a soft heart and a tender streak that you try to hide. There's usually a complicated dame in the picture, someone who sees the real you behind all the tough talk and can dish it out as well as you can. You're not easy to get next to, but when you find the right partner, you're caring and loyal to a fault. A big fault. But you take it on the chin and move on, nursing your pain inside and maintaining your armor...until the next dame walks in. Or possibly the same dame, and of all the gin joints in all the world, it had to be yours. Co-stars include Ingrid Bergman and Lauren Bacall, hot chicks with problems.


Thats pretty cool, I always liked Bogart

Dead... On... Wow!

I would've also liked to have gotten Rosalind, Joan, Myrna, or Katherine.

You're a little bit of a fruitcake, but you always act out in style. You have a good sense of humor, are game for almost anything, but you like to have nice things about you and are attracted to the high life. You're stylish and modern, but you've got a few rough edges that keep you from attaining true sophistication. Your leading men include William Powell, Fredric March, and Clark Gable. Watch out for small planes.
