Classic Beauty: Linda Darnell

If ever there was an actress who got crucified on the twin crosses of a pushy showbiz mother and a horny studio executive, that would be Dallas girl Linda Darnell (her story here).  Her life could also be entitled:  “Nice Girls Finish Last”, because the one thing about her that everyone ever agreed on was what a sweetie she was.

However, that’s not the story here.  These pics are:

Because she’d been one of the youngest actresses to play adult women — she was barely 16 at the time she started — her movies didn’t show off her figure, and most especially not her legs (which were spectacular).

And when some more “grownup” pictures of her were published:

…she was promptly voted one of the “Four Most Beautiful Women in Hollywood” (alongside Hedy Lamarr, Ingrid Bergman, and Gene Tierney — pretty exalted company).

Hardly surprising.

I’m Not Saying I’m Sick, But

Death would be a semi-welcome relief right now.  Cough, sore throat, sneezes (as many as a dozen in a row), post-nasal drip:  all sneering at whatever I throw at them: penicillin, Mucinex, saline spray, cough lozenges.

I suspect even a fucking .45 bullet would just evince a mocking laugh: “Is that the best you can do?  Hahahahaha…. here, have another sneezing fit, and let’s throw in a little bowel action, just to make your life still more pleasant.  Oh, and forget about sleep, we can add some cold shivers to help with that.”

Back tomorrow.  Maybe.

News Roundup

I’m not quite sure that this is a genuine ad — but then again, as a lifelong non-smoker how would I know?  But here’s the REAL (ahem) news:


...which makes me wonder:  are elephants at risk today?

In a Religion Of Peace update:


...too bad the lesbos weren’t packing heat, so to speak.  I don’t approve of Muzzie assholes getting all aggro, but I do approve of their would-be victims shooting them all dead.

Still in Muzzieland:

And speaking of wokery:


...for the benefit of my Murkin Readers, I should point out that NatWest is a fucking bank.

In U.S. Election News:


...and for the benefit of my Furrin Readers. I should point out that in this instance, “Coons” is a politician and not an ethnic group.  Glad we got that straightened out.

Now let’s swim in the link-free waters of 

     

...okay, I may have misread the headline for this one. [/Old Fart Excuse]

And as we sidle down :


...cant’s understand all the fuss;  it’s not like Susan Sarandon’s little girl has never shown off said appendages before:

…and here’s the oh-so-offensive wedding dress:

I think it’s quite pretty.

And that’s all the news fit to hang out.
