Classic Beauty: Rhonda Fleming (2)
We’re keeping it All-American on this website for the July 4 weekend, hence the second appearance of Rhonda Fleming.
“Wait, Kim… wasn’t she a redhead?”
Why yes; yes she was. But we can look at those pics some other time. [/tease]
Classic Beauty: Rose Stradner
Here’s an interesting one. Born in Austria, Rose Stradner eventually found her way over to Hollywood, starred in a couple decent movies — she was an excellent actress — and ended up marrying director Joe Mankiewicz.
That’s the bare bones of it. In fact, she was schizophrenic, a condition which went ballistic if she had a few cocktails — and she loved to drink. In fact, the memorable expression “Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy ride!” was supposedly coined during a dinner party when Rose started to go off the edge, then later used in All About Eve.
It all ended when she popped a jugful of sleeping tablets, at age 45.
Carpers Gotta Carp
Apparently, some twerps are getting their knickers in a knot about hottie superstar Shania Twain’s latest concert outfits. I report, you decide (whether these idiots should just FOAD, or else be flogged to within an inch of their lives beforehand):
No prizes for guessing where I stand on the “Act your age” admonitions from the tight-asses.
And speaking of tight asses, I think that our girl looks wonderful — pretty much always has — and even more so at age 60. Breathes there a man alive…?
Classic Modern Beauty: Julie Ege
This cool Norwegian beauty queen might have been the poster girl for the late 1960s and early 1970s. Why? Silly question:
“Ummm… how about some more colorful pics, Kim?”
And one last thought:
Classic Beauty: Gia Scala
Italian name, played a Greek woman in The Guns Of Navarone… all very exotic except that Gia was actually born in Liverpool, to a Sicilian father and Irish mother, with the family name of Scoglio. But nobody really cares what she was called, because:
And in the Navarone movie, where she’s exposed [sic] as a traitor:
Speaking of exposure:
It didn’t end well for our girl; she was a victim of Teh Booze And Drogges, and she died of an overdose thereof at age 38.
What a waste.
