Apparently there exists one of those Internet-famous things named Naomi Brockwell, of whom I know nothing because I don’t even dip my toes into those waters, let alone swim in them. Still, having discovered her, I think she’s worth a look, for obvious reasons:
Apparently, she made John Stossel look like an idiot when she discovered that his smartphone was basically a conduit for scam artists or something. And now you know as much about her as I do.
Quite toothsome, however.
While going through my laptop’s hard drive, trying to organize it into something which could be transferred to New Computer without too much loss of life, I stumbled across a sub-folder named “Favorites” in my “Movies” photo database.
Here’s a selection of the black & white pics. Some I may have posted before, so forgive me; but I can’t remember that far back…
Adrienne Ames
Anita Ekberg
Ashley Greene
Robyn Lawley (I think, or else Candice Huffine)
Carole Landis
Dawn French
Delia [Somebody]
Jane Russell
Joan Bennett
Marilyn
Sophia
Suzanne Pleshette
Veronica Lake
I think it’s rather obvious as to why they ended up in a “Favorites” folder. Next week, I’ll pick some more, this time in living color.
Let’s start with England’s James II:
Arabella Churchill
…and
Dorothy Sedley
…then on to France’s Napoleon Bonaparte:
Maria Walewska
…and his nephew, Napoleon III:
Harriet Howard
Rachel Félix
Virginie Castiglione
Back across the Channel, we have England’s William IV:
Dorothea Jordan
And finally, across the Atlantic, the mistress of yet another William:
Monica Lewinsky
…and not “Karen”, as we know the bitch-genre of today. Karren Brady is altogether the right sort of woman (see here for the details, which include the fact that she’s Conservative, as opposed to being a Limo-Labourite).
All very impressive, but not as impressive as the lady (okay, Baroness) is in person:
Of course, she’s no longer an ingenue business wizard; in fact, she has a daughter who could be regarded as equally toothsome:
Quite the genetic lineage, there… but to the surprise of not a single Reader, I prefer Mommy.
Although she was made famous to American audiences in Dynasty, Stephanie Beacham had already had quite a career beforehand. But who cares? Today, she’s in her sizzling seventies, and looks as good as she always did. Proof? you say? In more-or-less chronological order, then:
As we all remember her in Dynasty — with the big hair:
And nowadays…
(click to embiggen — and note the freckled cleavage!!!!)
Beautiful back then, stunning now.
I know I’ve featured Anita Ekberg on these pages many times before, as well as giving her a little solo outing; but can one ever have too much Ekberg, I ask? I think not. So here are a few I haven’t posted before:
Stunning? I report, you decide.
