Old film stars. Who were your favourites? @TwoMonthsOff

[CuriousMama]

An idea of TwoMonthsOff and it's a good one.
A lot of us might be a bit older or just like old films/movies.

I liked so many. I saw a monologue years ago by someone who told Richard Burton's story as Richard Burton. I'm pretty sure the actor became famous? He was amazing. I saw another but Marlene Dietrich that time. Also mesmerising.

Joan Crawford as my female lead

Richard Widmark as my favourite male actor

Gene Kelly

Thanks for joining in😊

Howard Keel was lovely

James Mason ❤

I'd forgotten about him. Just ordered Don't bother to knock dvd with him and Marilyn Monroe.

Marlon Brando - his performance Streetcar Named Desire is the best performance by a male actor ever in my view. And then there's the Godfather of course (and a whole lot in between).

Vivien Leigh - her Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind is the best performance by a female lead of all time in my view.

Absolutely lovely Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof - it's the the two most beautiful people on Earth got together on screen.

And Marilyn Monroe was such an underrated actress. She acted her co-star off the screen in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and there has absolutely never been a more attractive sensual actress than her.

Doris Day - calamity Jane was one of my favourite movies when I was little
Carry Grant
Jimmy Stewart

Judy Gardland
Maureen O’Hara
Alan Ladd -only because I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve watched Shane growing up.

Not sure if they count in the same era but also love Clint Eastwood and James Garner. Guess who grew up in a house were Westerns were in a lot.

Gregory Peck.

@XelaM I agree with everything you posted.
Also when you hear any MM interviews she sounds pretty intelligent. Such a tragedy.

Bette Davis - love them all.

I loved The Philadelphia Story - but in particular Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart. In fact I loved both of them in lots of movies - Hitchcocks etc. I also loved Bette Davis in everything - All About Eve and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane were fabulous. And Brando in Streetcar Named Desire.

I love Alistair Sim and Margaret Rutherford. Also Jack Lemmon and Shirley McLaine.

James Mason, Dirk Bogarde, Cary Grant.

Audrey Hepburn, Katharine Hepburn, Grace Kelly.

All of those.

Plus Steve McQueen.

I think he is actually my perfect man.
