Classic Beauty: Gertrude Michael

Classic Beauty

She graduated high school at age 14, and then she went to college to study law.  Fortunately, sanity prevailed and she went into a musical career, then into movies.

One of her co-stars is reported to have said that she had the “most kissable mouth in Hollywood”.  That’s some strong competition, but Gertrude Michaels would have been right up there… still, I’ll let everyone else be the judge.

Silly rabbit:  that assumes the existence of wisdom in Corporate America.

While some appeared to have not got the memo about only wearing weird and wonderful outfits…

Rather disappointing, in fact.  Maybe things will go pear-shaped later.
