Best golden age actress.
cutest but all her roles were soft ball. she couldn’t command like joan blondell.
For me its Garbo
>>220033701>>220033736>>220033825she's jewish
>>220034232Secular jew. Yes.
>>220034279no such thing
>>220034284She never participated in the religious component of it. And was referred to as a "wayward jewess" by fellow Jews.
>>220033701>>220034279>>220034408>jewish>looked like hitler's wet dreamall this jew-white thing is bullshit innit
>>220033701Naa. Not best actress. Not most beautiful. Not cutest.She did have great chemistry with Bogart in To Have And Have Not, The Big Sleep and Key Largo, though. And she wasn't at all bad as an old hag in The Shootist with John Wayne.If you like her, that's fine. She's OK.
>>220034232And Michael Jordan is black. What's your point?
You just put your lips together and...blow.
>>220033701For me, it's Ingrid
for me it's Carole Lombard, followed by Katharine Hepburn and Maureen O'Hara
>>220035311Understandable.
>>220034254Clark Gable's wife.Died in a plane crash.He was never the same again.
>>220035558>Carole Lombard
>>220035558this book was pretty gud
>>220035558I thought that was Carole Lombard.
>>220034254This image shows the American actress Terry Moore, born Helen Luella Koford in 1929. I thought this was Carole Lombard >>220035793
>>220033701Judy Garland before she got raped by old Jews was great.
Pretty crazy how the first person to ever say "Maybe this acting thing could be done a bit more seriously" then immediately became the best actor ever.
for me, its Tim Curry
>>220036720Was she a redhead? Huh.
>>220037033RIP.
>>220037033I have no interest whatsoever in fashion. But . . .
For me its Ilse Werner.Probably the most beautiful woman ever to be shot on celluloid film.
humans looked so much better
>>220038492>1921-2005Never heard of her.
>>220039039Huh.
>>220034232Jewish women are perfect
>>220039423She invented Wi-Fi.
>>220039610Jewish people are smart!
>>220033701>>220034279>>220034408They don't make em like this anymore
>>220033701Absolute sexo voice
>>220033701For me, it's Gina Lollobrigida,
>>220035854Why does she have a footlong poking out in her dress?
>>220036853She did?
>>220040758Bump.
For me it’s Estelle Jewell and her pouty little mouth.
>>220040758>>220039083Gene Tierney or Grace Kelly are the most beautiful girls from that era but I only really loved "Laura" and "The rear window""
>>220033701Crazy how Bacall was like 17 and she still acted like a sexy deadly milf with that petite body.
>>220041195She claimed that she was extremely nervous and kept doing that downward sideways look because she didn't know what else to do.
>>220040946Bump. Never heard of her. That's what these threads are for.
She didn’t have the best filmography, but Diana Dors has had me in a vice grip since I saw Tread Softly Stranger.
>>220042875Never heard of her either.
That Lana Turner had some big cans.
>>220043655Everyone had heard of her. Bump.
>>220040871I don't think her career will ever be matched in the medium. She basically turned acting from a burlesque bit of fun to an art form with techniques, nuance and emotion. She wasn't the first big actress but she was the one that clearly put thought and effort into how to push the medium forward and take advantage of what film can uniquely enable, rather than trying to emulate theatre. She is leagues above every other silent film era actress in talent in my opinion. Then when sound came to films she soft-retired for years, and when she came back to do films with sound for the first time she played a supporting role in one of the greatest films of all time, and casually continued acting until nearly the 90s. Genuine GOAT stuff. The Wind (1930) is better than 99% of movies made in the past century.
>>220044101
>>220044113Shit I meant 1928 for The Wind, for some reason I confuse it (her last silent film) with One Romantic Night (her first talkie)
Shannon O’Neal was a hot dish.
>>220044113I did not know this.I never really wanted to get lost in the weeds, as regards silent movies. And the only reason I know that Gish existed is because of this board, and a couple YouTube clips. I get that in her day it was kind of awkwardly schocky. And yeah, directly connected with theater. I also thought for the most part the push off of pure theater and what became cinema was largely due to set builders and cinematographers. I did not know Gish played a roll and changing the art. Thank you. Homework.
>>2200337011940s Lauren Bacall was the most perfect woman in the world.
Barbara Stanwyck
>those nude photos of Vivian Leigh and her husband on their honeymoon that surfaced years ago
>>220045587I would certainly have a gander. Her business though. Godspeed honey.
I've seen this woman in movies recently. And she was kind of terrifying.
>>220045700Found her.
>>220045296And of course we've all seen her.
>>220044404Cool. Here is you modern day search of this name.
>>220044404>>220046025This her?
>>220033825very nicehttps://youtu.be/Y75y2shz6UU?si=V_fCNcVPm82tAiQT&t=1620
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUhhKELUxB0 I think she was the best dancer of them all, and so that sort of gets my vote
>>220045720Bump.
>>220033825
>>220045931https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NkcRllnmFo >A woman, young, beautiful like you, can get anything she wants in the world. Because you have power over men. But you must use men, not let them use you. You must be a master, not a slave. Look here – Nietzsche says, "All life, no matter how we idealize it, is nothing more nor less than exploitation." That's what I'm telling you. Exploit yourself. Go to some big city where you will find opportunities! Use men! Be strong! Defiant! Use men to get the things you want!>yeah...
>>220046257She was never prettier than she was in Only Angels Have Wings
>>220045296Based
>>220046360Who was the German one that took that to heart. I forget her name.
>>220046360I can't help it. Kind of Jewish. He is right though.
>>220046257Thank you for this. I don't think present day young people can get it. Those are my grandparents generation. WW2. Born from 1917 to 1926. They aren't us. Hard to explain.
>>220034232Your pager is ringing sir, and the helicopter is waiting for you.
>>220045587>>220045673I watched this
>>220047055Not that anon but he is right. She was. And her being one did open some doors. She just didn't really embrace it and use it. She didn't need to. Look at her.
>>220046342>>220045720>>220045700Someone post the webm
>>220047131I haven't yet.
>>220047182I'm new. What?
>>220035558That's isn't Carole Lombard
>>220047023I think for that generation dancing and acting, and vauderville style stuff was a marker of someone in the trade and craft, Fred had it, Rita had it, James Cagney had it, but some others albeit talented in acting didnt so much, and its a bit rarer these days, though the school system and youth still apply themseleves across the board its not like its gone
>>220047182>>220047215>Max My Love (1986)Here, feel free to add it to your Charlotte Rampling folder
>>220047918Bahahaha. You fucking bastard!!!
>>220047295It's not the same.
>>220033736Based JB poster. Her pre-codes are must watches.
Lazy bump. I am tired. I would like to see more threads like this in this board.
>>220033736>>220049381Again. Never heard of her.
>>220036900Yes, that was half the reason Harry Cohn lost his shit when Orson Welles died her hair blonde for Lady from Shanghai. The other reason is Welles also chopped her famous locks off. I thought she looked great either way.
>>220049484When someone asks how you discovered Joan Blondell you tell 'em I set you straight
>>220033701>Lead role at 19>Four Oscar nominations>First at 25 years old>Highest paid star at MGM>Retire at 35 years old>Voted the best star of the past half century in 1950>Favorite actress of Bette Davis, Gregory Peck, and Kim NovakNobody does it like Greta Garbo
>>220035558>>220035793Just the lord's way of punishing Gable for being a rapist
>>220046360Baby Face is also required pre-code viewing. Hell it's required viewing for anyone who claims to like movies. Stanwyck is unbelievable in it.
>>22004984Guh.
>>220047295Plus the movie studios tried young contract players in all sorts of roles to see what audiences liked. So you end up with pre-fame Jimmy Stewart warbling out Easy to Love in 1936's Born to Dance with Eleanor Powell.
>>220050583Pre-WW2. Remarkable.
>>220050583And that nonsense in the background is supposed to be the Brooklyn bridge. Moderately hilarious.
Notice that Marilyn Monroe hasn’t been mentioned?How did the most mid fattie ended up being considered one of the hottest women in history?
>>220050780>>220050705Sorry she does have a spot.
>>220049427Same. The vintage/classic movie threads here are usually pretty good (if you ignore the ridiculous "this sucks" posts featuring movies like Casablanca, Double Indemnity, etc.). Pic: have some Audrey on account.
>>220050977Bump.
>>220046257Wish we had leading men today like Fred Astaire
>>220052664He was one of a kind. Like Cary Grant. Lots of imitators but they were unique.
>>220053814The pic is from Top Hat, which I am super stoked to say I just bought a ticket to see tomorrow. Woohoo! My goal is to see all the Fred & Ginger films on the big screen, and even though I've already seen Top Hat several times in theaters it's always a treat. Great songs, great dancing, great art deco sets ...
For me, it's my schizo wife.
>>220050780feet
For me, It's Anne Baxter
This thread is still here. Nice.
>>220058213greatest actress of all time
>>220058400Let's not get carried away. But certainly watchable.Has gravitas or whatever.
>>220058477
>>220058477In terms of filmography and overall quality of her performances, she's untouchable. That's one thing I can agree with the American Film Institute on.
>>220033701
Jean Arthur
>>220036900Bros...
Miriam hopkins. The best pre-code actress I think.
>>220059316Born in 1902.Died of a heart attack in 1972.
Final post, Aline MacMahon. Gave one of the best female performances of the 30s in Heat Lightning.
>>220059371Born in 1899.Olllldtimey.
>>220059429>During the 1950s MacMahon was blacklisted as a Communist sympathizer. Her name appeared in the notorious Communist watchlist pamphlet Red Channels. For years, the FBI had been surveilling her and her husband, including the couple's frequent international travel (for example, they sailed around the world in 1935–1936).
My favourites have already been mentioned, but ill add in Katy Jurado. She's great in the westerns she did. She was the Jenna Ortega of her day.
>>220059998>María Cristina Estela Marcela Jurado GarcíaHoly fuckballs. SIX NAMES??
>>220059998I really liked her in High Noon, but then again I liked everything in High Noon... except for the shootout.
>>220050738Stop looking at photographs and start watching movies.
>>220056484yjk
Bump.
>>220059219She was good in Only Angels Have Wings.
Based classy waifu enjoyer thread.
>>220034254Giant FiveHead
>>220033701For me, it's the delightful Lana Turner.
>>220064409She should have done more nudes...
No one posted the one and only Louise Brooks. Shame on (You).
>>220050780>>220050801There's a conspiracy theory that Albert Einstein didn't exist and was just a fictional character played by Marilyn Monroe.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYzjorp3AOA
Rita Hayworth is my fav.
>>220065936Kept it classy.
>>220066059Absolute Truth
Ava Gardner was top tier
>>220066059Nudes can be very classy, anon.
>>220066225Is she the coat/hat girl in the Buster Keaton movie?
>>220065727She was extraordinary in Mr. Deeds Goes To Town. Highly recommended.
Can't believe all this bitch had to do was take off her gloves and men went wild
>>220066314I don't think so, Louise Brooks was not a Ching Chong.
>>220066438Yikes.
>>220045296yes
>>220034232Unironically finding out late that Lauren Bacall was jewish was one of the biggest wtf's for me for not realizing. I think the only other actress who slipped past by jewdar was Eva Green.
>>220066614This is why Louise will always mog Lauren.
Mary Pickford was based
>>220066614Did she really have any tells?I didn't notice any.Just a weird affected actressy sort of behavior, which I had assumed related more to her time, than anything else.
>>220066672Lauren Bacall easily mogs whoever that is.
What about these two?
I liek Joan Leslie
>>220066686She blended well.
>>220066757Don't cry because Louise is perfect. Smile because she happened.
>>220066819I'm not into flappers. Too boyish.
>>220066314>>220066475It was Elsie Ames.
>>220066374The More the Merrier is required Jean Arthur viewing. Very funny and sweet romcom. Also required JA viewing: Easy Living (pic), a Preston Sturges script based on a Vera Caspary story (Vera Caspary who wrote the novel Laura, yes that VC ... surprises me too every time I think about the fact she wrote both).
>>220066844Don't worry anon, we will keep that boy away from (You).
>>220067011Born in 1906.Died of a hearth attack in 1985.RIP.

Guhhh
For me it's always been her
>>220071149You are a man of fine taste.
>>220066614My theory is that she probably doesn't have any ashkenazi ancestry and instead got adopted by a jewish family.
>>220033701I think golden age for an actress is between 18 and 25. After that they should retire.
>>220071186She was first cousins with Israeli prime minister Shimon Peres.
>>220071149Damn nice taste.
Adding more ancient babes.>>220070247World's best stepmom
For me it's Eleanor Powell https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_ji8oXNZYUo
>>220071490And another one I've never heard of.
>>220071237Marilyn Monroe's peak was in her late 20s and 30s though.
>>220073804Marilyn Monroe was unironically hot.

>>220039423>Hedy Lamar became notorious in her later years for her sticky fingers. On January 27, 1966, the 51 year old actress absconded with a suit, eye makeup, a string of beads, greeting cards, and some bikini panties from a Mays & Co. department store in Los Angeles. A female security guard named Helen McGarry thought Lamar was acting suspicious so she followed her outside and confronted her. Lamar claimed it was a misunderstanding and she simply forgot to pay for the items. She was arrested, paid her $550 bail, and was free until her court arraignment in one week. Lamar pled not guilty to misdemeanor larceny, which carried a fine and a maximum of six months in jail. Lamar had $14,000 in checks from Universal Studios in her purse and was far from destitute; her excuse was that she could have easily paid for the items and would have no reason to steal them.>Lamar went on trial in April. Helen McGarry testified for the prosecution and repeated most of what she told police three months ago. Testifying for the defense was UCLA Medical Center psychiatrist Dr. Henry Hamilton, who said that he'd been treating Lamar for the last two years for nervous exhaustion. He claimed she was under considerable psychological stress since her divorce a year ago and she was being threatened with eviction from her Beverly Hills home. Dr. Hamilton thought it caused Lamar's mind to wander at times but he did not consider her a kleptomaniac. The next day Lamar's son Anthony Loder testified for the defense. Loder explained how his mother's arrest had been extremely stressful to her and she was troubled by the idea of getting old and not being able to get the A-list movie roles she once did. She had recently ended her sixth marriage.>On April 26, the jury deliberated and came back with a verdict of not guilty. Hedy shook hands with the jurors, thanked them for clearing her name, and explained to reporters afterward how difficult the last couple months had been for her.
good thread
>On August 2, 1991, the 76 year old actress went with a friend to pick up some items at a local Eckerd's Pharmacy. She remarked that she needed laxatives and eye drops, average items a senior citizen might purchase at a store. Lamar walked into the Eckerd's while her friend waited outside in the car. About ten minutes later, she walked outside. The store had an alarm system at the front but Lamar walked past it without setting it off. However, a store employee was still suspicious and confronted her outside. He asked Lamar to open her purse. When she did so, she slipped out the laxatives and quickly dropped them in her friend's handbag. The employee saw the bottle of eyedrops in Lamar's purse and told her to come inside with him. She insisted she just forgot to pay for the items, became visibly agitated, and protested what she called shabby treatment.>The Eckerd's manager, Teri Vargas, called police. The officer who responded and arrested her was a young 24 year old cop who had no idea who Lamar was; he wasn't even born yet the last time she got in trouble for shoplifting. She was charged with misdemeanor larceny and could face a $1,000 fine and a year in jail. As Lamar was in her 70s and unlikely to be a flight risk, she was released from custody after being booked downtown on condition that she'd promise to appear at her appointed court date. The police offered to drive her home since her friend had quickly gotten in her car and disappeared when she got in trouble at the drugstore.
>>220075804She was the Winona of Hollywood's golden age
>Lamar appeared in front of a municipal judge in Orlando on October 24. Her attorney argued that she did not drive due to eye issues she'd been suffering from since the mid-1970s and her 1966 shoplifting arrest was not used as evidence; it was 25 years ago, in a different state, and the 4th Amendment prevented her from being charged in that case again. A plea deal was reached whereby the shoplifting charge would be dropped if Lamar stayed out of trouble for one year. Florida's justice system was so overworked, especially for minor offenses such as this, that there was no desire to press the case further if it could be avoided.>She lived out the remainder of her life without incident until her death in 2000 at age 86. Lamar made the news one last time in 1998 when she sued software company Corel for including an image of her in their Corel Draw program without her permission. The case was settled out of court.
>>220075804>On April 26, the jury deliberated and came back with a verdict of not guilty. Hedy shook hands with the jurors, thanked them for clearing her name, and explained to reporters afterward how difficult the last couple months had been for her.Exactly 60 years ago today. Did anyone else notice?
>>220034408She married and had kids with non-Jews so she was considered a sellout to the tribe.
>>220034232Don't care, Mohammed. Die screaming.
>>220076499Badass hands typed this post.
>>220075804the general consensus was that Lamarr could have gotten plenty of work but like many actresses she was a surly cunt who didn't accept that she was too old to play 25 year old sexpots

Can't even remember her name. British actress. Movie about her getting kidnapped.
Jean Harlow needs to be in this thread. Saw her in Libeled Lady again this weekend, her comic timing is underrated. Her pre-codes are great and worth checking out, especially Red Dust and Red-Headed Woman. Pic: From Dinner at Eight.
