If I had to pick one girl from the golden era

Having just seen "Around the World" with Kay Kyser and his band, I'd like to add Georgia Carroll. She was stunningly beautiful.

Why pick only one girl???

OK, OK, I will play along... a young Liz Taylor. Va-va-va-voom!

Those eyes! And her sensitive yet sassy persona! Beautiful and captivating.

Maybe she's slightly out of the Golden Era...


My avatar would have said "Lena Horne" but when I look at Lena Horne's avatar-- well that throws me for a loop!

Back to the subject; Carole Landis is also my absolute favourite girl from the "Golden Age" I have first seen her in the picture you posted, wearing the A-2, and than started digging around the web. Check out http://www.anthropoetics.ucla.edu/cl/index.htm thgat is one hell of a Carole Landis memorial page.
I have since started to search for her movies and bought a couple of them, some are really good. A really nice one is "Four Gills in a Jeep" were she actually plays herself as USO star in WWII. I have an original copy of the book, written by Carole, as well and also found a rael autographed picture in E-bay a while back.

My husband's got a thing for Carole Landis. Very lovely girl. Such a sad story, she was.

As far as females go, I'm partial to Carole Lombard:

I also really like Claudette Colbert, mostly because of the roles she played.

For males: Cary Grant, hands down. Second choice - Gregory Peck. Bing Crosby would be my third, but I've read that he was a real jerk offscreen.

Dorothy Malone, before she went blonde.
Dorothy Malone was the bookshop girl that Marlowe got the dope on Geiger from.
The Librarian was Carole Douglas-I dont know of any other movies she was in.

Incidently, for the Big Sleep lovers out there

Joy Barlow was the taxi driver
Martha Vickers was Carmen
Lorraine Miller was the hat check girl
Shelby Payne was the cigarette girl
Deannie Best and Tanis Chandler were waitresses
Peggy Knudsen and Pat Clark both played Mrs Mars in the different versions

you just put your lips together and blow

When I saw "To Have and Have Not" at 2 in the morning when I was 14, I fell in love! To this day, 23 yrs later, no one can compare to Lauren Bacall

Having familiarity with only the more popular stars of the golden era, I'm going to go with Ingrid Bergman or Audrey Hepburn. My chances of having dinner with either of them is rather slim at the moment, however. To choose a more current dinner companion, I would, without a doubt, have to say Jennifer Tilly...yup...:D

I've always found Norma Shearer to be quite fetching!

However, I believe she had a prior engagement in the Great Hereafter. Well, no matter, since these great beauties - Jennifer Connelly and Jennifer Decker, respectively - are fully contemporaneous with myself (and, more importantly, have a pulse). What can I say, I'm a sucker for a pair of radiant, mischievious eyes and a warm, inviting smile!
