Gives me the impression she's flipped through one too many movie magazines while lounging around in bed wearing that honey of an anklet, found a picture of some starlet and thought, "Gee, them Hollywood dames sure are classy!"Mythical Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330587602682498820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-17211882390662769432011-04-16T10:47:25.957-04:002011-04-16T10:47:25.957-04:00Myrna looked pretty cute in that wig - much too cu...Myrna looked pretty cute in that wig - much too cute for this list!FlickChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351624749230610755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-17369521157290376922011-04-16T08:24:56.766-04:002011-04-16T08:24:56.766-04:00Myrna Loy must have worn a good wig in "Love ...Myrna Loy must have worn a good wig in "Love Me Tonight," since she was not nominated.

Who decided that middle aged Bette Davis needed a long wig? It makes her look like she's 60 trying to look 18. I don't mind Judy's wig too much in "Meet Me in St. Louis" hehe I always thought she looked pretty in that one :)<br /><br />As for Tom Drake, I too would have rather seen someone with a bit more personality. Apparently Judy really wanted Van Johnson (which would have been so great!) but he wasn't able to do it for some reason :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-76781004581730515502011-02-26T23:14:46.531-05:002011-02-26T23:14:46.531-05:00Actually, I don't think Leslie Howard was a fa...Actually, I don't think Leslie Howard was a fan of his lines.

And Ashley -- that was always beyond me. They needed somebody who could at least be some competition to Gable. Harlow in Public Enemy - oh my God, that voice --- hideous. And I have never liked Merle Oberon and her pop eyes and stilted way of speaking. Wasn't she a favorite of the producer or director or something? That's what I call a casting couch winner! <br /><br />And the wigs! Double Indemnity is so good, and that hair is so bad. The scene in the drugstore where she wears the sunglasses with the ear pieces sitting on her hair instead of under it always makes me laugh. Poor Bette Davis -- I think she knew what a bomb this movie was going to be and just gave up about the hair.<br /><br />Well, you can tell I think this is just a clever and very funny post!ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-37699264128590565012011-02-23T20:18:46.523-05:002011-02-23T20:18:46.523-05:00Your comments were near perfect.
