The Hair I Was Talking About

                  Natalie in Inside Daisy Clover (1965) with a hairstyle that is less than flattering. Throughout the whole movie she looked like a little boy chimney sweep. In any case she is honestly one of my favorite actresses, I really couldn't pick a top favorite. I know she was just as beautiful on the inside as she was on the out.
"Stardom is only a by-product of acting. I don't think being a movie star is a good enough reason for existing."-Natalie Wood

Happy Birthday Natalie Wood

I have loved her and her films for so long. Even the not so great films she did like Inside Daisy Clover (1965) I still found her so magnetic and wonderful. Her haircut in that movie really did make me want to scream though. She would have been 73 years young today. She lives on in her films and still captivates people with those huge brown eyes and distinctive voice. I always thought that she and Elizabeth Taylor had two of the most detectable voices. I could pick them out anywhere. Her character Wilma Dean Loomis in Splendor in the Grass (1961) made me want to cry every time I watched her mental and emotional stuggle. She made it all too real.

Bardot in black hair

This is a shot from Bardot's film Contempt (1963). The film wasn't exactly my cup of tea and to be honest I found it to be quite hilarious. About every five minutes this beautiful,dramatic but completely unfitting piece of music called "Theme de Camille" would start playing at the most random scenes. And of course Bardot's naked backside was shown several times throughout the film. Anyway, she can pull off black hair but maybe not this haircut.

Smart Cookie

I never knew these things about Jayne Mansfield. She spoke five languages, was a classically trained pianist and violinist, and attended UCLA as well as SMU. Too bad she felt showing off her physical assets was the only way for her to make it in Hollywood....but what great assets they were!

Happy April!

It doesn't feel like spring to me until April starts. Here are some shots that bring the spirit of spring!
