Tough Broads

                                                                Clara Bow    


                                                        Joan Blondell
                                        
                                                Shirley Maclaine.

 
Eartha Kitt
                                                                                                                   

                                                           Ann Sheridan

                 Ava Gardner. You have to be tough when you're married to Sinatra.


                                               Carole Lombard                                              
                                                       Lauren Bacall

                                           Miriam Hopkins                                              
                                              Kay Francis

                Tallulah Bankhead. Slightly off her rocker but very tough.
                                           Rosalind Russell       
                                             Mae Clarke

                                          Jean Harlow                                                    
                                        Katherine Hepburn

                                         
Barbara Stanwyck. Just watch Babyface(1933) or Night Nurse(1931). Watch any of her films and  you'll know why she's here.

                                         Ruth Chatterton                                                      
                                           Greta Garbo

                                   Marlene Dietrich                                            
                                                           Joan Crawford


                                         Bette Davis.

           Mae West, the toughest broad of them all. She could take on all these ladies at once. Bette Davis and Joan Crawford combined would have nothing on her.

Ms. Joan Blondell, Happy 104th! and Happy 102nd to Fred MacMurray!

Joan Blondell was a sassy, pre-code era actress who wasn't afraid to cause a stir. She is most known for her roles in Gold Diggers of 1933, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Nightmare Alley, and Grease as Vi the waitress in 1978.

Fred MacMurray almost always played likable, easygoing roles with the exception of Double Indemnity (1944) and The Apartment (1960), two of his most notable roles. But, he will also always be remembered for all of the Disney films he starred in such as The Shaggy Dog (1959), and the Absent Minded Professor(1961). He was extremely handsome and always seemed to me like the guy you would want to be your dad. Anyway,Happy 102nd Birthday Fred!
