Classic Beauty: Anouk Aimée (2)

Classic Beauty: Ann Dvorak
One of my favorite anecdotes about Ann Dvorak was a comment made by one of her male co-stars, who said: “Whether on-camera or off-camera, she had a way of looking at you that was at once seductive and submissive.” He went on to add that this made it almost impossible to concentrate when the camera started to roll.
I kinda see his point.
My favorite of her own quotes was explaining how to pronounce her last name:
“My fake name is properly pronounced ‘vor’shack’. The D remains silent.”
Here’s a bit of music from another Dvorak, this time Antonin Dvořák (his real name, but similarly pronounced).
Appropriate Conveyance
…and if you’re looking for a decent way to get to shoot birds with that Holland shotgun at Lord Herbert Hardly-Breething’s estate, what better way to get there than in this magnificent creature:
7.4 liters of rumbling reliability, after one hundred years of service… and yeah, I know there are no seatbelts. It was a better time, when cars looked wonderful and men died like men.
