It doesn’t help that Natalie Wood fell into that era of women and their style which has been my downfall ever since I can remember. Here’s what I mean by that obscure sentence, in black and white:
And in color:
Stunning, and timeless.

Classic Beauty – Romy Schneider
Born in Germany (but claimed by the French), Romy Schneider straddled the black & white and color eras, and was equally beautiful in both:
I could go on, and on, and on… but I think you get the idea.
Modern Classic Beauty
Here’s a modern-day totty who could have fit into the Classic Beauty section, were she not young. Allow me to introduce you to Yvonne Catterfeld:
“Now Kim,” you ask, “she’s very pretty; but how can you say she’d qualify as Classic Beauty?”
‘Nuff said.
As to how I stumbled upon her, there’s a clue hidden in tomorrow’s Classic Beauty post… and an explanation as to why she would qualify.
Classic Beauty: Nina Foch
I remember once going through one of Connie’s photo albums, and finding a pic of an impossibly-glamorous older woman. “Who is that?” I asked.
“Oh, that’s my old acting teacher, Nina Foch.”
Here she is, not as an older woman:
Wow.
Barmaid Part Deux
I am forced to watch the foul Great British Bake Off TV show because New Wife loves it, otherwise I would never have heard of block-faced Paul Hollywood (which is, by the way, an excellent porn star name).
Anyway, said celebrity has apparently got engaged (again) to some barmaid totty:
…who is okay, although I have to confess that I preferred his earlier barmaid squeeze:
…because she’s a redhead, natch.
Yeah, you figured it out: I’m not at all interested in Paul Hollywood’s love life, and this was just an excuse to post chick pics.
Anyway, you may now carry on with your day.
Old-Time Beauty
Seen at CW’s place, this young lady epitomizes to me an old-fashioned vision of modest loveliness:
The pic is recent, the old-fashioned values are timeless. Small wonder some lucky guy has married her.
