The Last Great "Dame" Has Gone!

[seagiant]

Hi,
Although the passing of Robin Williams has taken most of the news, (my wife cried over that one) we have also lost Lauren Bacall! Being a child of the 60's have always had an interest in the 40-50's Stars. The one thing about all the older ladies in Hollywood was how drop dead gorgeous they were when young! Lucy Ball,Sophia Loren,Audrey Hepburn, Mauren O'Hara, most started as dancers or fashion models.

Ms Bacall of course taught "Bogey" how to whistle, she did it so good, he married her at twice her age! One of the last times I saw her in a film was John Wayne's last picture 'The Shootist" I thought it was right that she play with Wayne in his last picture. Wayne was said to need a tough gutsy woman in his movies that would look him in the eye and go toe to toe with him and I'm sure Ms Bacall filled the bill! I just thought I would let people know the last of the "Great Dames" has gone!

[smokeywolf]

Although Miss Bacall, "The Face" was certainly one of the most stunningly attractive women in the motion picture industry, don't forget to put Rita Hayworth on your list.

Although Miss Bacall had horribly misguided political views, I admired her acting, not to mention her looks.

My two favorite pictures she starred/costarred in, "The Shootist", even with opposing political views, would love to have seen she and the Duke do a couple of more pictures together; they had great chemistry. And, "Sex and the Single Girl"; Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood, Henry Fonda and Lauren Bacall. I have both these movies on DVD and have watched both a half dozen times in as many years.

Also enjoyed her as Schatze Page in, "How to Marry a Millionaire". She was 29 years old and of course, WOW.

Who's next? You know they always come in 3s.

Goodby Miss Bacall. You were a class act.

[seaboltm]

Indeed, a loss, but a long and productive life. She leaves us with many performances and memories. Even songs mention "just like Bogie and Bacall" because it is simply a part of American lexicon. And yes, her performance in the Shootist is to particularly commended.

[seagiant]

Hi,
Thanks Smokey! I knew I was leaving a good half dozen out! Rita Hayworth would without a doubt be at the top of the list! As you mentioned "class" was what the girls in Hollywood seem to be lacking these days,(shoplifting,crotch grabbing,and profanity?)

I'm afraid weve turned a corner and will never be able to go back! I have a collection of old movies to and never tire of watching them. A lot on VHS no less!

[Owen49]

She was related to Shimon Peres. I really appreciated her work in "The Shootist".

Check out Shock Treatment where she could scare you do death with only a glimpse of her beauty shining threw. A woman with beauty, class and sensuality when she wanted to project it on screen.

I totally agree
Back then those ladies had class and beauty.
Today they have to have piercings, tattoos, crotch grabbing, tons of makeup, multi colored hair to get attention.
And they still have NO class what so ever.

by golly your right - why did I think she had passed?

[seagiant]

Hi,
I thought Maureen O'Hara had died? Glad I was wrong! Her husband ran a seaplane business out of St. Croix in the Virgin Islands and my wifes father managed a Casino in San Juan. My wife saw John Wayne in San Juan as a small girl as Wayne would come through Puerto Rico on his way to St.Croix to visit Ms. O'Hara and her husband!

Yes! Most men didn't know it but Cloris Leachman was built like the "brickhouse"! Most only remember her as "Frau Grudder" in "Young Frankenstien"!

[smokeywolf]

Let's not forget Miss Lamarr. Beautiful, talented and incredibly intelligent. 113469

smokeywolf

[TXGunNut]

She was great in her role in Shootist, that was a tough job for many of the stars in that movie but they all rose to the occasion and gave awesome performances.

[Frank46]

OK, how's about Mitzie Gaynor and Cherice can't remember her first name. And Carolyn Jones. But having said that Bogie's Baby I think started her career at 19. Then again I could be wrong. Some very beautiful and smart actresses and unfortunately we'll never see their like again. Forgot Kim Novak. Frank

[seagiant]

Hi,
Jennifer Jones,is one of my favorites! First saw her with Gregory Peck in "Duel in the Sun" and then in "Beat the Devil" with Bogart. That film also starred little Gina Lolabridgida in her first american film! Directed by Houston and the Screenplay was written by Houston and Truman Capote! Jennifer was married to David Selznick the producer and Studio Head! Found the movie at GW for a dollar on VHS almost like new!

[richhodg66]

I must admit to having a big crush on Lauren Bacall my whole life. I still find Key Largo to be Bogie's best movie, though he made some good ones.

Her role in the shootist was great. Years before she had starred opposite the Duke in a movie called Blood Alley (also a good one) and apparently despite severe ideological and political differences that ran very deep, the two hit it off and were lifelong good friends who respected each other greatly. I'd heard John Wayne asked for her to play that role in The Shootist because of that. I always kind of wondered why Maureen O'Hara did do that part, she was his leading lady in so many of his movies.

[smokeywolf]

One who holds a special place for me, Natalia Nicolaevna Zacharenko; better know as Natalie Wood. I worked on Brainstorm and had the privilege of meeting and talking with Natalie, (that's what she told me to call her). She was one of the most beautiful, pleasant and down to earth celebrities you could ever meet. She looked like a beauty queen and acted as though she was your sister and you were her favorite brother.
The man who introduced us was a MGM Police Officer of 40+ years and had held her on his knee between scenes and escorted her all over the studio lot when she was a child.

113479113480 You think she looked beautiful on camera? She was nothing short of breathtaking in person.

smokeywolf

[seagiant]

Hi,
Nice story Smokey,thanks for sharing! My introduction to Natalie Wood was in the film "The Searchers" with John Wayne. This was of course a story of a young girl abducted by the Cheyenne Indians. I'm sure we have all seen it as it is a classic and one of Ford's best films.

As a kid watching it on TV (2 channels) I can still remember the goose bumps when Wayne finally found her as a young woman which of course was played by Natalie!

A still of Wayne in that movie showing him with about a week worth of whiskers and looking rough,which I will put below, is one of my favorites!

[Bad Water Bill]

I just found a few more that Natalie had a role in.

Sadly she left us way to soon.

Natalie Wood was an American film and television actress best known for her screen roles in Miracle on 34th Street, Splendor in the Grass, Rebel Without a Cause, and West Side Story.

[cbrick]

In 34 years in the studios with no shortage of exceptional lookers the hands down most stunning, most breath taking gorgeous is Jacqueline Smith. The camera did nothing for her, the make up department did little to nothing for her, when she showed up in the morning with no makeup she was at her best. To top it off she is also the most genuine, sweetest, nicest person you could meet. Just saw her in an interview a month or so ago and she is aging very well, still a remarkable looking lady.

Hi,
The funny thing to me is women who have that "something?" that can't really be named but does exist! To bad it can't be bottled! I guess MM was the best example in Hollywood being there were actually better looking women at the time and even better actresses but they never made a "Star" or turned men on like she did!

[GOPHER SLAYER]

If you Google Ava Gardner you can see, when it came to Hollywood beauties, she was without equal.

Hi,
Yes! Ava was considered by many to being the most beautiful woman in the world! She was a Southern gal (SC) and had to get rid or work on her strong accent for Hollywood!

Burt Lancaster told a story in his older age of making his first movie (The Killers) with Ava when a young man, and being "embarrassed" on the set in a kissing scene!!!

Her best acting to me was in "Night of the Iguana" with Richard Burton!

Only saw Miss Smith once. I was on a plain clothes assignment on Rodeo Dr. and saw her go into Vidal Sasoon. Cartier Jewelers was kitty-corner across the street. Would have been a good time for someone to hold them up , as no one was looking in that direction.

One of the things that stunned me were the actresses who look spectacular on camera, but shockingly homely in person. In my opinion, Julia Roberts and Morgan Fairchild are prime examples of this paradox.

You obviously have never met Demi Moore. She would scare the U out of the ugly stick and has a personality to match. Granted she looks better these days but she's had every surgery known to man, several multiple times. Pity she didn't stay married to Bruce Willis, they fully deserved each other.

I always liked Ann Margaret and Raquel Welch.

[starmac]

There was things about Raquel Welch, that a guy had to like. I have always thought she helped start the downhill slide of women in tv to what we have today though.

[seagiant]

Hi,
Yes,Ann Margaret and Racquel Welch were very sexy woman of the new generation. I like to look at where these women come from as far as family. Raquel Welch and Rita Hayworth both had Latin (Spanish) fathers.

Ann Margaret was actually Swedish and came to this country as a very young girl! These are just things you never think about or see on the screen but seem interesting to me and a big part of Americana!

I absolutely agree. i have had the privilege to be on a first name basis with three Miss states, [Montana, Utah and Hawaii] and have another friend whose beauty knocked them all over. The funny thing is she could have cared less.

[Harter66]

Julie Newmar perhaps?

Rachel was always 1 of my favorites. " A girls done before she ever gets started if all she's got is looks and a body." I always thought that she was probably better in business than the screen. I always was a sucker for the raven/auburn haired beauties.

Barbra Stanwick wasn't a hag either. Jane Russell too.

Funny how the country girls have that undefined something that draws so many effortlessly and they don't see it and the city girls feel like they have to be bigger than life to be noticed.
A Miss Ca taught me to milk goats on her families place near Ridgecrest Ca when I was maybe 6. Seems we've all seen stars at 1 time or another. I met Dale Evans once at the Museum out in Victorville also ,but again I was very young. I keep hoping that on 1 of my many trips to Carson City and Minden that I might make the acquaintance of Mary Ann , but I probably wouldn't recognize her anyway.

Oh well enough beauties at my finger tips to keep me from wish booking Hollywierd......

[GOPHER SLAYER]

Many years ago my wife and I were waiting in line to see the Glen Campbell Show at the CBS Studios in LA. I saw two men and a women walking toward us and when they got closer I recognized the women as Gina Lollabrigida. She was just as beautiful in person as she was on screen. I once asked Debbie Reynolds for her autograph and while I was standing very close to her I was surprised at how deep set her eyes are. This feature is of course covered by makeup. While not a true beauty she is very gracious and loves her fans. After all these years she is still performing.

2x Now days the women brag about having class, not knowing that ............. real class is not having to brag about it.

I agree up to a point. Too many starlets or whatever you call them today are little more than lip-synching exotic dancers. When they fade from the limelight, they go into rehab or whatever, go on Oprah, and get a reality show.

Both they and the ladies we are admiring in this thread are reflections of our society at different times. Those ladies were far sexier and sensual without acting like hookers.

On the other hand, many of those ladies had disastrous offscreen lives. Probably not as many nor as badly as in today's self- indulgent society, but it happened. The major difference then was they didn't flaunt it.

Now here's a lady both talented & classy in every respect, Marilyn McCoo:

According to IMDB, she has an I.Q. of 135, graduated high school at the age of 15 and has 3 patents to her name (for lingerie) is 5'11" and 135 (in her youth I'm assuming). She just turned 81 a couple of days ago.
