Classic Beauty: Jane Greer

Doomed by her contract to stand forever in the shadow of Ava Gardner and Lana Turner (the studio’s favorites at the time), Jane Greer was once called “the greatest actress never to win an Oscar”.  And it’s quite true:  as the femme fatale  in so much of the 1940s-era noir  genre, she showed a sinister stillness about her roles that set her apart from the overacting of most of her female peers.  I think I only ever saw her in Out Of The Past, in which she was every bit the equal of the brooding, brilliant Robert Mitchum.

Random Totty

Seems as though every time I post a pic of a slender women, there are a  jillion  couple of comments about feeding the poor starving girl a pasta dinner or two.

Well, today’s totty doesn’t need any of that.  Her name is Rasha Kirmani, and she’s apparently quite popular in India and online.  Enjoy.
