If I had to pick one girl from the golden era

[fathergoose]

Yes! That's it. Plus, the whole '30s crusading reporter bit is just fantastic! Ditto Barbara Stanwyck in "Meet John Doe". Sigh.

Well...as many lovely girls as there were back then, I only have eyes for this fellow:



Al St. John - stunt man, acrobat, comedian and the list of skills go on pretty much forever.
He was the nephew of Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, this photo was given to Roscoe and his wife Minta in 1916 when Al had his first proper PR portrait taken.
This portrait comes from Roscoe Arbuckle's personal scrapbook, it was taken care of by Minta after Roscoe passed away in 1933.
And now it is hanging here on my wall

I did not even have to think twice about this question... hands down, the woman I would pick would be Katharine Hepburn. Strong, opinionated, beautiful.

i've never been a huge Katharine Hepburn fan (although i think she looks great in many photos), but this is inspired:

fur coat and jeans ! love the hair too.

Ginger Rogers for me, she did everything well and looked like fun doing it.
Irene Dunne a close second for her wit.
