You clearly don't recall Raquel Welch in her skivvies, in that iconic 60s poster. She can easily outshine today's wanna-bes. Ann-Margret, for another. A large number of the Bond Girls, as well. Women that could melt your socks, wearing a choir-robe.

Another "old dame," the fiery and eternally-gorgeous Joan Collins, is presently in a battle with Jennifer Anniston, whom Collins called "cute," but not glamorous. Collins says that only Angelina Jolie qualifies. Anniston's fans fecklessly took that as an insult.

In the 1920s there was the silent-screen beauties like Norma Talmadge, and the early talkies stars like Jean Harlow, but it wasn't until the 1940s when the true Hollywood beauties showed up that no "star" today can truly compete with. The hard truth of it is, people might buy the underwear, but people don't go getting themselves physically altered to look like a Victoria's Secret model. Jessica whoeversheis is not that kind of sex bomb.

I like Jolie's films but wouldn't call her glamorous. Collins is wrong. Today in our homogenized lookalike world, Glamour caught the last bus out. Her generation is on it.

   There ya GO...these youngins have no taste for the real deal...they all seem to like these skinny no character gals...

     Ill take a Bo derek Raquel Welch, Ann Margaret...BARBARA EDEN
These gals could bring the big boys to their knees with a smile and flip of their hair..and they had class, they were feminine and all woman...

YVONNE FURNEAUX



And the funniest candid shot in Hollywood history, when Jayne Mansfield got the Sophia Loren inspection....

How could I forget Barbera Eden in the "Genie" costume many an adolecent fantasy.  ;D

Candice Bergen too when she was young and before she turned into a total screaming leftist freak.

I was in Chattanooga ChooChoo with her and George Kennedy back in the...I think late 70s or early 80s, can't quite remember.
But she was just an adorable woman, just like her character in I dream of Genie, and the whole cast was extremely talented and professional, except for Joe Namath, he just can't act.
My scene wound up on the cutting room floor. :'(
