One Dress a Day Challenge

Black and White October

Singin' in the Rain / Jean Hagen as Lina Lamont

This coat and hat are barely seen in the movie, appearing in a short sequence where the cast sneak into an advance screening of their film incognito to judge audience reactions. I love the decoration on the sleeves!

the offscreen reveal moment in singin' in the rain is so funny though.

like, lina's been working on this film for months, right. and zelda comes up to her and is like:

remember that girl that pied you in the face that time? at the coconut grove club? honey everyone heard about that.

yeah they're having her dub over your voice for this entire film and they didn't tell you because you'd raise a fuss. they just had you record all those lines and songs for no reason except to lie to you.

like, zelda's motive according to rumor is that cathy outshone her in a supporting role in her last film and she's mad? threatened?, but i honestly don't blame her a bit. i love the cheerful way she sails off completely unperturbed by don's outrage. lina's incompetent at this specific task and selfish and horrid, but from zelda's position as her colleague it was also true that she was getting shafted by the studio.

lina 100% deserved that scene where she bullies RF by manipulating the media narrative and threatening litigation.

like, RF crumpling like a wet paper bag and throwing cathy under the bus: bad. lina, magnificently unable to pronounce 'detrimental,' putting him in a corner: hilarious.

I have come to the realization I want Lina Lamont to step on me.

After reminding myself yet again, that contrary to my wishes, Cosmo Brown/Lina Lamont ( both from Singin' in the Rain) does not in fact exist., my brain has frantically and bizarrely decided that it needs to find a way to make Perry Mason/Lina Lamont work.

#as if we needed any more proof that i am secretly a seventy-year-old trapped in a millenial's body #i'm most familiar with the perry mason books tbh and most of them are set in like 1930s-1940s so it could work out timeline wise #the part where lina is like 'i could sue you for the whole studio' well...that but the lawyer she hires is perry mason #cause even tho he's more of criminal law attorney; she will only have the BEST in los angeles and he is undeniably the best #also she was probably like the way i was treated is a CRIME so imma find the guy who knows about crimes #also would not put it past the studio head to be doing something uber shady; i mean he is inspired by l b mayer after all #so perry mason can discover the actual crimes as well #della street and/or paul drake are welcome to get in on this too #or even hamilton burger for that matter #cosmo and cathy are also welcome but only after they call don out on his shit first #perry mason #singin' in the rain #singing in the rain #lina lamont #i just think it would be nice if the smartest man in fictional los angeles helped lina realize that she's actually rather smart too #even if everyone writes her off as the dumb blonde with the annoying voice #still annoyed that only one (1) cosmo/lina fic exists #i mean i get it; cosmo/don/cathy is practically canon so ofc it gets the most love from the tiny fandom #but like...have you considered that don's only redeeming quality is gene kelly's face? #and cathy/lina/cosmo is the ot3 that we all actually deserve

Propaganda

Jean Hagen (The Asphalt Jungle, Singin' in the Rain)—a shimmering star in the cinema firmament! Absolutely iconic as the villainess Lina in singin’ in the rain and makes the picture, to be honest. Nobody played funny-evil-gorgeous the way she does. and that voice!

Nargis Dutt (Shree 420, Barsaat, Awaara)— I first loved her because she played such strong characters in everything I saw her in, but beyond that, she has a natural charm to her. She's a Bollywood icon for a reason!

This is round 2 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.

Jean Hagen:

Riddle and you shall receive! How could we forget about Jean Hagen! I love a woman who can play really delightfully evil, and it's very fun seeing her other roles after you've seen her as Lina Lamont. Also, she's got an adorable smile and a gorgeous chin.

Her Oscar-nominated performance as Lina Lamont is a wonderful example of being talented enough to make an unsympathetic character difficult to hate. Admittedly her looks also help a lot - in so many films she would have been the romantic lead and it's a shame Lina didn't get a redemption arc.

Had a sexy sexy alto register so when she was being dubbed as Lina Lamont by Debbie Reynolds she was dubbing Debbie Reynolds dubbing her. Shoutout to Betty Noyes also.

did. is anyone. can we please bring attention to her in drag. please god and thank you

If we bring a little joy into your humdrum lives, it makes us feel as though our hard work ain't been in vain for nothin!
