Yeah, there were some real honeys. But for whatever reason the one that comes to mind first is Dorothy Malone in The Big Sleep.





I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm.

I have a number I like as well. Jean Simmons opposite Robert Mitchum in Angel Face. Loved how she manipulated Mitchum all over the place. The ending was special. This is great clip.

I've got so little hair left that I've started referring to it as 'hairs'. Frown

Ida Lupino. A wonderful actress and a not too shabby director. I had a crush on her when I was a kid.
