It says something that after all these years have passed, and no new movies made with her in them, that Catwoman Julie Newmar still holds the fascination of so many men. That said, however:
Definitely quite kittenish:
Except when she’s anything but.
Purr purr purr.
Sensational.
At the height of her popularity, flame-haired Debra Paget received fan mail in quantities only exceeded by Marilyn Monroe and Betty Grable. This may be the reason:
Or maybe there were two more:
Whatever the reasons, they’re all equally good.
No wonder Elvis Presley fell in love with her.
Let’s see: North Texas, redhead, pouty lips, starred mostly in 1940s noir movies… okay, Ann Sheridan checks all the right boxes.
About that red hair…
Just about perfect.
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.
The bits below the lips weren’t too bad, either:
She would have been a lousy lawyer, anyway.
Here we go:
Yeah, Scarlett O’Hara in that unforgivably racist / “problematic” / slavery-accepting movie which glorified the Klan and anyway, why put a Brit chick in the archetypal Southern-belle role? Why?
And then there’s the result:
…the last pic being possibly the greatest “morning after” pose ever filmed.
No question.
