Tough to choose between the two

Rita Hayworth & Audrey Hepburn

 

[Harley Quinn]

Esther Williams...

 

[JohnnyGringo]

Loretta Young, Audrey Hepburn, and my absolute favorite, Vivien Leigh-those eyes, my goodness, those eyes...

 

[Lulu-in-Ny]

Louise Brooks

Norma Shearer

Barbara Stanwyck

 

[Alex Oviatt]

For blondes? Garbo, Lombard, Kelly. For Brunettes? Myrna, Ava, Liz. For redheads? Rita Hayworth. Sohpia Loren defies all attempts at categorization--if in doubt, just watch "Houseboat."

 

[Pip]

Bette Davis or Norma Shearer, but I can't quite decide which...[huh]


Ah...both of them then lol

 

[Smuterella]

do my eyes deceive me, is there no Marilyn in this thread?

do my eyes deceive me, is there no Marilyn in this thread?

I've often wondered if i'm alone here.... but..... to be quite honest, much as I loved her films...... I've never found Marilyn Monroe to be the slightest bit sexy. A true icon, a great image, but..... I never actually fancied her at all. I guess it was all those simpering, simple-girl types she played - not my type at all.

[huh]

 

[Avalon]

*sticks head in for a moment*

Clara Bow, Louise Brooks, Jean Harlow, Hedy Lamarr, Carole Lombard

*removes head and allows gentlemen to reclaim thread*

 

[Ottawalad]

Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Bette Davis...

 

[SamMarlowPI]

i'll third Lauren Bacall...
for Myrna Loy i'll second and third and fourth and fifth and...

 

[Taz-man]

I vote for Jean Harlow. I like her so much that I am basing a character in my book to look just like her.

 

[Yeps]

It is all about how you use it.

 

[Tomasso]

Cyd had some serious wheels.

 

[olive bleu]

I personally believe that Lucille Ball was quite underated. It is so easy to think of her as only quirky, "Lucy Ricardo"..and to forget she was actually very beautiful..

 

[Phineas Lamour]

I would have to with Louise Brooks or Clara Bow.

 

[Flipped Lid]

I can't decide if it's Ava Gardner or Grace Kelly so I have to list both. Maureen O'Hara runs a close third.

 

[Miss Sis]

So many beautiful actresses to choose from, but I think Vivien Leigh was just stunningly beautiful. Those green eyes! Oh....

 

[Harp]

Vivien Leigh.
