these old photographs are beautiful
These pictures are gorgeous...I love Ava Gardner
What a great post!!! Joan is my all time fav!
Very lovely, but theres only one pic of Audrey Hepburn and she doesnt have a heading of her own
It's great to see how nice women looked before plastic surgery and pounds of makeup. So hard to find women these days who look naturally beautiful.
I adore watching classic movies. My idols are bette davis, katharine hepburn, judy garland, liz taylor and audrey hepburn. Katharine Hepburn is the greatest actress of all time and you did not include her in your tribute.Neither did u include audrey or elizabeth. Audrey is the 3rd greatest actress and you left her out as well as liz taylor. How dare u! u bitch. u fucking bitch! u know shit about classic movies if u dont include audrey or judy garland from the wizard of oz and elizabeth. whats even more outragous is that u didnt inlcude katharine hepburn. She won 4 oscars! ur soooooooo stupid bitch. i am deeply disappointed and upset.
these pictures do not, as you say, represent a time before women were drastically altered by plastic surgery and plastered with makeup. look up a picture of norma jeane mortensen sometime and compare her nose to "marylin"'s. and rhinoplasty was far from the only procedure Marilyn had to endure before Hollywood execs saw fit to launch her to superstardom. fucked up.
Dear Anonymus
Good Evening
I just want to say that even Olivia De Havilland, Sophia Loren, Haya Harareet, Shirley Mc Lean, Julie Andrews and list goes on more are missing.
For anyone some times it is not possible to include all the good stars in one blog.
I feel just because of that it is not necessary to criticise and abuse someone who is doing a good job in foul and unparlimentary language like this.
Please spread Love not Hate.
I would be happy if you don't reply to me in the same foul language to my comments.
Even if you do so, for I do not mind.
My apologies to the Author of this post for reeiving negative emails.
I love the snaps and the post.
Good Luck
Blessings to all
Mahesh
