From Reader Mike S., about Granny Salma Hayek:
“I wouldn’t sell my soul for her, but I’d arrange for a long-term lease.”
Considering my advanced age, I’d settle for a lifetime one. Just a quick reminder of the topic under discussion:

Happy 60th Birthday, Salma!!!!!
“How about some swimsuit pics, Kim?”
[sigh] If I must…
And now, sadly, it’s time to wave goodbye:
Right back atcha, kid.
Afterthought: I think you could make several hundred men out of all the body parts we would sacrifice to spend just one night with her. Minus one essential body part, of course. Nobody’s going to get rid of that one when Salma’s in the room.
Classic Beauty: Lana Wood
Ah yes, Plenty O’Toole…
Let’s rewind a little:
Did someone say, “FRECKLES“????
Did someone say, “LEGS“????
Oh, did someone say, “Playboy“?????
Classic Beauty: Connie Stevens
She wasn’t just “Hollywood’s Sweetheart”; for the late 1950s and early -60s, Connie Stevens was everybody’s sweetheart. (And most notably, Elvis’s.)
And in glorious color:
Did I mention that our girl was also a singer with a Top Ten hit?
And then there were those legs…
Bedtime:
Total sweetheart.
Classic Beauty: Googie Withers
Uncommon name, uncommon beauty, uncommon talent. I first saw Googie (pronounced with hard “g”s, like Google) in It Always Rains On Sunday , and while she was really good, I gave her no more mind. Then I saw her in Once Upon A Dream, then in One Of Our Planes Is Missing, and was spellbound both times. I’ve never seen her in anything else — which is surprising, considering that she was in the movies for over seventy years.
Like so many actresses of the 1940s, she was done wrong by the hairstyles of the times…
Oh… did I mention that she started off as a dancer?
Of course, nobody’s perfect; she ended up marrying some Australian actor and moving to Strylia, the poor thing.
Classic Modern Beauty: Olivia D’Abo
I have an admission to make: I’ve never seen Conan The Destroyer, mostly because the fantasy thing isn’t mine, and cartoonish epic adventures likewise. So I never saw Olivia D’Abo there. I also never watched the silly TV series The Wonder Years, because the “coming of age” thing bores me to tears. So I never saw Olivia D’Abo there either.
But I did watch the TV series Law And Order: Criminal Intent, and watched Olivia D’Abo play the most evil of all TV villains — she even made the brilliant Vincent D’Onofrio take a back seat every time she appeared on camera.
It doesn’t hurt that she’s gorgeous, either.
And she hasn’t got any less gorgeous as she’s aged, either.
I think it’s the eyes that do it for me.
Yup.
