It's sad to think that at least 2 of these ladies, and maybe even all 3 (as Louise led a troubled life), had some sort of emotional illness.

And Gene Tierney in Leave Her to Heaven is unforgettable. Vivien Leigh seemed to work harder for her spells, the others had it in their back pocket. And Kim Novak had quite a spell going too in Bell, Book and Candle.

It strikes me that all three charmers also have something haughty about them, a superiority - including Brooks, who is perhaps more of a "hot number."<br /><br />Do you remember "The Witches of Eastwick"? Years ago, a few friends/co-workers and I watched the movie (VHS) together one day in the conference room where we worked and, as a lark that we considered hysterically funny, decided to cast a spell on the ill-tempered sales manager two of us reported to. Not long after, he was transferred to a radio station in another market and, we later found out, the moving van containing his worldly belongings spontaneously combusted somewhere between San Francisco and Chicago, burning everything he owned to a crisp. Coincidence or witchery? We didn't know, but that was our last spell-casting adventure...The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-68716725703990499982011-10-11T21:05:19.407-04:002011-10-11T21:05:19.407-04:00Thank you, Becky - you are quite bewitching yourse...Thank you, Becky - you are quite bewitching yourself!FlickChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351624749230610755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-42662899269766209872011-10-11T20:55:15.260-04:002011-10-11T20:55:15.260-04:00FlickChick, you really chose the right 3 for this ...FlickChick, you really chose the right 3 for this witch-like beauty post. I always thought Rita Hayworth one of the most beautiful women, but she is of the earth. Same with Elizabeth Taylor - more real and earthy. <br /><br />Vivien, Gene and Louise are different -- gorgeous and just out of reach. This is a really good assessment of their type of beauty, and the pictures are to die for. Really good.ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-52506064274053230442011-10-11T20:34:52.601-04:002011-10-11T20:34:52.601-04:00Thank you, Samantha (you little witch, you).Thank you, Samantha (you little witch, you).FlickChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351624749230610755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-88061949123028513472011-10-11T19:40:32.514-04:002011-10-11T19:40:32.514-04:00Yes I do agree.
