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.

…Mrs. Harry Hamlin, at 60.


...lost her virginity at age 14.  Why are we not surprised?


…as seen on OnlyFans.


…who says she’ll NEVER take Ozempic to lose weight.


...not yer Heidi from the children’s story.


...a Real (?) Housewife.


…must have just missed an easy putt.

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.
