R.I.P Lauren ‘Betty’ Bacall

September 16, 1924 – August 12, 2014

“I think your whole life shows in your face and you should be proud of that.”

“My life has had meaning, with the friendships full and valuable and essential to me. My children, Steve, Leslie, and Sam, are all different–all first-rate human beings with high standards–whom I completely and unequivocally adore–don’t always agree with–but always admire and respect. They all have wit and a sense of humor and, thank God, I have hung on to mine.”

May you be with Bogey now.

So very sad that she's gone.

R.I.P Ms. Bacall.

Joan Crawford (March 23, 1904 – May 10, 1977)

I never go outside unless I look like Joan Crawford the movie star. If you want to see the girl next door, go next door. - Joan Crawford

Who can resist the handsome James Stewart!

The beautiful Veronica Lake.

Hollywood gives a young girl the aura of one giant, self-contained orgy farm, its inhabitants dedicated to crawling into every pair of pants they can find. - Veronica Lake

The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space. - Marilyn Monroe

Deborah Jane Kerr CBE (born Deborah Jane Kerr-Trimmer, 30 September 1921 – 16 October 2007)

Happy Birthday Deborah Kerr! →  (30 September 1921 – 16 October 2007)

"She has made 44 movies, light romances and dark ones, epic adventures and costume dramas, comedies and even one of our most-beloved musicals. She played nuns and nannies, nice ladies and occasionally ladies who weren´t so very nice - but always a lady. If there was a main line to her career, it was as a surrogate mum to troubled teenagers, to haunted children and most often to men who had somehow forgotten to grow up, until they met her, that is. In her singular way, she combines warmth with elegance, passion with patience, common sense with uncommon wit, great strength with even greater vulnerability."

Just so happens I decided to watch An Affair To Remember today, not realising it was Deborah Kerr's Birthday! So that was an amazing coincidence.... 

The beautiful Deborah Kerr for everyone's enjoyment

I like having my picture taken and being a glamorous person. Sometimes when I find myself getting impatient, I just remember the times I cried my eyes out because nobody wanted to take my picture at the Trocadero.
