If I had to pick one girl from the golden era

[G. Fink-Nottle]

Having just seen "Around the World" with Kay Kyser and his band, I'd like to add Georgia Carroll. She was stunningly beautiful.

I forget the actress' name, but the librarian in "The Big Sleep" rings my chimes.

 

[Fred G.]

Why pick only one girl???

OK, OK, I will play along... a young Liz Taylor. Va-va-va-voom!

Those eyes! And her sensitive yet sassy persona! Beautiful and captivating.

Maybe she's slightly out of the Golden Era...


My avatar would have said "Lena Horne" but when I look at Lena Horne's avatar-- well that throws me for a loop!

Dorothy Malone, before she went blonde.

 

[artdecodame]

Second place? Lana Turner

I always thought she was better looking in her brunette days.

 

[artdecodame]

And Warren William

Yay!

Back to the subject; Carole Landis is also my absolute favourite girl from the "Golden Age" I have first seen her in the picture you posted, wearing the A-2, and than started digging around the web. Check out http://www.anthropoetics.ucla.edu/cl/index.htm thgat is one hell of a Carole Landis memorial page.
I have since started to search for her movies and bought a couple of them, some are really good. A really nice one is "Four Gills in a Jeep" were she actually plays herself as USO star in WWII. I have an original copy of the book, written by Carole, as well and also found a rael autographed picture in E-bay a while back.

My husband's got a thing for Carole Landis. Very lovely girl. Such a sad story, she was.

As far as females go, I'm partial to Carole Lombard:

I also really like Claudette Colbert, mostly because of the roles she played.

For males: Cary Grant, hands down. Second choice - Gregory Peck. Bing Crosby would be my third, but I've read that he was a real jerk offscreen.

Dorothy Malone, before she went blonde.

Dorothy Malone was the bookshop girl that Marlowe got the dope on Geiger from.
The Librarian was Carole Douglas-I dont know of any other movies she was in.

Incidently, for the Big Sleep lovers out there

Joy Barlow was the taxi driver
Martha Vickers was Carmen
Lorraine Miller was the hat check girl
Shelby Payne was the cigarette girl
Deannie Best and Tanis Chandler were waitresses
Peggy Knudsen and Pat Clark both played Mrs Mars in the different versions

you just put your lips together and blow

When I saw "To Have and Have Not" at 2 in the morning when I was 14, I fell in love! To this day, 23 yrs later, no one can compare to Lauren Bacall

Wow - she is amazing! What a bright smile!

 

[BJonas]

Welllll...

If I couldn't have a this Varga girl (

), I think I might have to go for Fay Wray.

:eusa_clap

(And not because of the Kong-thing)

 

[Marc Chevalier]

I'd go for Jinx Falkenberg. Hubba hubba!

(Alas, Jinx died several years ago )

Wasn't she the Ol' Professor's Kay Kyser's

Having familiarity with only the more popular stars of the golden era, I'm going to go with Ingrid Bergman or Audrey Hepburn. My chances of having dinner with either of them is rather slim at the moment, however. To choose a more current dinner companion, I would, without a doubt, have to say Jennifer Tilly...yup...

 

[Curt Chiarelli]

I've always found Norma Shearer to be quite fetching!

However, I believe she had a prior engagement in the Great Hereafter. Well, no matter, since these great beauties - Jennifer Connelly and Jennifer Decker, respectively - are fully contemporaneous with myself (and, more importantly, have a pulse). What can I say, I'm a sucker for a pair of radiant, mischievious eyes and a warm, inviting smile!

 

[The Duke]

Dorothy Dandridge!

 

[moustache]

Yes!!!Thank you!!!

Does Audrey Hepburn count? She even has a hat

I know she isn't Golden Age but she would be in my top 5!!!!!

Golden age:A favourite is Maureen O'Sullivan.

and also Jeanette McDonald:

Oooo la la.Just too many.

In opera at that time i also fell in love with Geraldine Farrar.Beauty,voice.

SHe can be heard in her early days with Caruso and other stars.
