Pearl Bailey (Carmen Jones, St. Louis Blues, Porgy and Bess)—vintage crush of all time, the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, and my GOD the PIPES! She wasn't in nearly enough movies, but every time I see her I'm aghast all over with what a gorgeous woman she was. Vote Pearl for diva glamor like no one else! (also....she was on the Muppet Show!)
Hideko Takamine (Carmen Comes Home, Floating Clouds, When a Woman Ascends the Stairs, Yearning)— Known for her work with director Mikio Naruse, Hideko Takamine brought to life his suffering, persevering heroines. Widely regarded as one of the three greatest Japanese actresses of her time alongside Setsuko Hara and Haruko Sugimura.
This is round 3 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

Pearl Bailey propaganda:
"Pearl Bailey was an absolute POWERHOUSE! She's best known for her career in music and theater (she's a DIVINE singer, and very funny). But she also did several feature films, including a controversial adaptation of Porgy and Bess (controversial because of the story; the actors were pretty much coerced into it). She's got a style all her own, you can recognize it from a mile away. She's got you chuckling and crying from one phrase to the next. I love her <3"
"Cheekbones to die for"

Hideko Takamine
She said
When I appeared in Ozu's The Munakata Sisters, I had trouble with the tongue sticking out scene, because after many tests, my nerves were more focused on the tongue than on my acting.
"Tongues are squishy and weird things."

June Richmond (Carolina Blues)—I will take LITERALLY ANY REASON to post the Mr. Beebe number. Hello, it’s got Harold Nicholas and June Richmond and so so so much Black talent and glamor in it??? June Richmond is clearly the queen of the number and I love her. Glam as hell. [video under the cut]
