When you started off as a singer for a big band, got into movies but couldn’t really act; your whole movie career started when you wore a sarong, and it pretty much became your trademark… how do you break out of it?
Who cares? Dorothy Lamour did it with Hope and Crosby in The Road To… series, and really, that was all it took. That, and extraordinary beauty.
(more of this pic at the end…)
And, as promised:
By the way, Dorothy was a staunch Republican and supporter of Ronald Reagan.
In case y’all missed it, today is National Bubble Bath Day.
And for the more sociable among us:
There’s no need to thank me; it’s all part of the service.
And ringing in the New Year comes Salley somebody, who once appeared in some stupid reality show I couldn’t be bothered to look up:
Here’s an interesting exercise. Let’s assume that you were looking to buy a new residence and had, say, about $950,000 to splash on it.
Do you go for Place A:
…or Place B:
Okay, maybe it’s a trick question. While both places are listed for $950k, Place A is in Texas, USA and Place B is in Wales, UK.

So, I ask myself: how did a Hungarian-born British actress / fashion model / war journalist end up being Anna Thynn, the Dowager Marchioness of Bath and Viscountess Weymouth, who lived for most of her marriage in Paris and not with her husband the Marquess? And who was initially his mistress while still married to some French guy, and only later married him to produce some heirs? (We’re not even going to talk about Alex, the 7th Marquess of Bath, who over time surrounded himself with about seventy mistresses (“wifelets”) at the family estate of Longleath. No wonder Anna went to live in Paris.)
“Wait, what was that middle bit again, Kim?”
Never mind. Here’s a short pictorial of said Anna Abigail Gyarmathy:
And in color:
Just in case you needed more, our Anna also posed for Penthouse Magazine, but managed to ruthlessly prevent those pics from being re-published after their initial appearance in print.
When she died in 2022, the world became a far less interesting place.
“How did you discover this lovely creature, Kim?”
I saw her in a bit part in the 1969 movie The Bridge At Remagen, as Anna Gaël.
Okay, these may have been NSFW in 1931, maybe.
I’ll try to do better next year.
