I’ll be showing my age with this question

smoochy — Tue, 17 Jan 2023 17:34:53 GMT

Just read that Gina Lollobrigida passed away at 95. Got me thinking about the movie stars I admired as a little girl. She was one of them, so glamorous and beautiful.
Others were Kim Novak ( I had paper dolls of her)

Lana Turner

Sophia Loren
then as a young teen in the early sixties. I loved Sandra Dee and thought it was soooo romantic that she was married to my heartthrob Bobby Darren

what femaie movie stars did you love or admire?

I liked watching Grace Kelly and Vivien Leigh movies. I thought they were the most beautiful movie stars.

@smoochy , Did you like the movie " Come September ?" Your post made me think of this movie that I remember loving. I believe it was starring Gina Lollobrigida, Rock Hudson, Sandra Dee and Bobby Darren.

I can't think of any movie stars I admired, but will show my age by saying Jacqueline Kennedy, women who spoke out for women's rights, Grace Hopper, Sandra Day O'Connor, and number of female authors--too many to list! And my mom because she was a WAC and a very independent woman.

@geezerette In the 50's, when poodles were so popular, I heard

of people dying their poodles colors, like pink or blue, to match clothes.

@just bee Audrey Hepburn and Natalie Wood were my favorites, when I was a teenager. They were both so beautiful.

My favorite actress from the good old days was Susan Hayward, oh how she could bring me to tears in I Want to Live and Backstreet with John Gavin.

In high school, I saw Gone With The Wind. Vivian Leigh was incredibly beautiful! I have seen that movie 37 times through the years.

@ECBG My eighth grade teacher took our whole class on a bus to the movies to see Gone With the Wind. I've loved it ever since.
