Propaganda

Rosalind Russell (His Girl Friday, Auntie Mame, The Women)—Hugely influential in her role as Hildy in His Girl Friday, Russell is perhaps the greatest influence on the character of Lois Lane. Catty, hilarious and charming, Russell is the blueprint for every sharp tongued transatlantic diva. In The Women she wears a series of incredible fits including a wonderful Schiaparelli dress covered in eyes Later in her career she was the incredible Queer Icon Mame, a model of bohemian life that still resonates today

Rosalind Russell:

She's funny! She's glamorous! She stood up for herself! She took her own initiative to make sure her role in His Girl Friday was funny enough to stand up to Cary Grant!

Funny, fast talking, witty, triple threat, so charming that her husband of 35 years watched her in a movie and decided he needed to meet her and he was going to marry her, and got Cary Grant to arrange a meeting. Grant was best man at their wedding. Was a big supporter and funder of arthritis research and was honoured by Congress for her work in that field.

She’s just so fucking funny. She gave another woman a permanent scar from biting her leg in a scene and this is a story she herself told in interviews. This maybe true maybe not piece of IMDB trivia is never far from my mind: At the wrap party, Rosalind Russell was dancing with George Cukor, when Ernst Lubitsch passed her and said, "If you want more close-ups in the picture, never mind dancing with your director, you'd better dance with Norma Shearer!" Without missing a beat, Russell took Shearer's hand with a wink and danced her across the floor.

Lips of Sixteen Hollywood Actresses

September 1st, 1935 - “Lips reveal character!” says Warner Bros. lip reader.

Have lips the ability to reveal character? They have, according to Perc Westmore, makeup director for Warner Bros. studio for many years. "Next to an actress's eyes, the lips are the most important feature," he says. It's no mystic power, only a matter of observation, he claims in analyzing the charcters of sixteen Warner actresses, whose lips are shown in the above photo.

(l.-r.) Gwen Verdon, Helen Gallagher, Thelma Oliver in the stage production of Sweet Charity, ca. 1966

I just watched Gallagher dancing with Bobby Van at the 1972 Tonys. From No No, Nanette, a dance number called "You Can Dance with Any Girl."

This is followed by a performance by legendary hoofer Ruby Keeler, then 63 years of age, of "I Want to Be Happy." Just pickin' 'em up and slappin' 'em down, like the old days at Warners.
