look at that coquettish expression

Flipper was portrayed by five different dolphins, the most commonly used ones were named "Kathy" and "Susie."

And yes, that's Larry Fine.

Just came across a whole bunch of amazing photos of Zitkala-Sa, the Sioux writer and violinist (born 1876)

Would fiddle with.

Wallace Beery
Spencer Tracy

(Yes, I like "beefy")

The most succulent beef(cake) has a nice amount of marbling. Although in the case of Beery I can't imagine that face not being a dealbreaker.

Angie Dickinson. A fairly good looking woman I'd say. 86 tomorrow!

Barbara Stanwyck, OMG.

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/81/77/1b/81771b36acbb0f7591d5ea7beda7dc07.jpg

damn

quote by herman mankiewicz that i read years ago and always stayed with me for some reason:

Barbara Stanwyck is my favorite. My God, I could just sit and dream of being married to her, having a little cottage out in the hills, vines around the door. I'd come home from the office tired and weary, and I'd be met by Barbara, walking through the door holding an apple pie she had cooked herself. And wearing no drawers.

I've just spent 15 minutes seeking a single Victorian-era portrait that stirred me. It really was a dismal time.

Yep, Stanwyck and Lombard.

and Cleo De Mérode.

Pretty set on flappers; Louise Brooks = major catnip

Only just watched Double Indemnity for the first time and Barbara Stanwyck is obviously stunning in it but that could be a different person in the shot above, apart from the nose. She has the best nose ever

Well, she's in her mid-30s in Double Indemnity, I reckon the above photo is probably up to 15 years earlier.

something pleasantly contemporary about her. v fly in baby face; v ripped in lady of burlesque

and she either dyed her hair or wore a wig in DL

(xp) Exactly that I thought, looks like it could have been taken yesterday.

Stanwyck is all-time. Unlike Mankiewicz, I cannot imagine the part with the apple pie. But the rest, yes. I checked out some Cleo De Mérode photos and they all seem so shyly demure as to verge on lifeless.

she has a bridget fonda vibe in the above pic, maybe?

(xpost) The eyes. The eyes.

gross thread

Acquiring the socially appropriate attitude to sex and sexuality is a difficult thing to get precisely right. teach us, O Left.

Cleo De Mérode photos and they all seem so shyly demure as to verge on lifeless.

These are amazing photos!

I stand corrected.

Love this one of L Sprague De Camp

I intend to use my time machine to kill baby Hitler, not have sex with Barbara Stanwyck.

Many faces of Lee Yi Min

Barb was around when hitler was around you can do both I think

And killing Hitler may score you big points with Barb.

Just watched the Bunuel film in that thread, and I suppose I'd leave my wife for Lucia Bosé too.
