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.

Steve McQueen, Paul Newman,
Margaret Rutherford (all those lovely black and white films)

Joanne Woodward
Lee Remick

Cary Grant
Jimmy Stewart
Fred Astaire
Gene Kelly
Gregory Peck

Audrey Hepburn
Marilyn Monroe
Ingrid Bergman
Bette Davis
Katharine Hepburn

Alistair Sim
Joan Fontaine

Jimmy Stewart, Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn are my favourite "older" actors. Unsurprisingly The Philadelphia Story is therefore one of my favourite older films.

(My all time favourite classic is Its a Wonderful Life though.)

Doris Day, her comedy timing was perfect
Marilyn of course
Jack Lemmon
Cary Grant
James Garner
Tony Curtis
Paul Newman
Walter Matthau
Dean Martin
Jerry Lewis
Shelley Winters

Alistair Sim
Ingrid Bergman

Can't stand Marilyn Monroe, all that lisping and pouting, bleurrgh.

Doris Day
Cary Grant
Gregory Peck
James Mason
Alan Bates
Oliver Reed

So many of them but my absolute favourite has always been Anthony Quinn. I saw "a High Wind in Jamaica" as a teenager and was smitten. Still am. 😁

I loved Margaret Lockwood in that film about the highway woman as a child.

Vivienne Leigh, Olivia de Havilland, Audrey Hepburn, Laurence Oliver and Oliver Reid were great actors and nifty just beautiful to watch.

Irene Handel
Cary Grant
James Stewart

I loved Margaret Lockwood in that film about the highway woman as a child.

‘The Wicked Lady’ - loved it! Biggest UK film of 1946. Apparently in its day, it was considered a highly risqué film and the US demanded censorship for some scenes where the bodices were cut too low.

I remember realising that Joan Fontaine and Olivia de Havilland were sisters, which blew me away! JF was 96 when she died and ODH was 104!

also

Alec Guinness
Alastair Sim
Joyce Grenfell
Terry -Thomas
Cary Grant
Orson Welles

Lana Turner
Gloria Swanson
Burt Lancaster

Love a good noir

Danny Kaye. Very funny man, great actor and dedicated humanitarian. I had a massive crush on him and was very upset when he died in 1987.

Paul Newman😍, I think he is the best looking man that has ever lived.

James Stewart
Kathrine Hepburn
Elizabeth Taylor
Paul Newman
Cary Grant

He really is.

O yes definitely! Now I want to watch the great escape 😆

Cary Grant (male perfection.)
Bette Davis
Joan Crawford

David Niven was a beautiful man.

Howard Keel
Gregory Peck
James Stewart

Loved them all

Cary Grant
Howard Keel
Charles Winnenger (character actor)

Vivian Blaine
Deborah Kerr
Helen Morgan in Showboat

An Affair to Remember is one of my favourite films.

David Niven - largely for his books The Moon's A Balloon and Bring On the Empty Horses (autobiography and storys from old Hollywood. Hilarious!)
Donald O'connor.

Doris Day
Gregory Peck
Jane Russell
June Allyson
oh and my favourite ‘old’ child star….Margaret O Brien

Oh and I forgot Mitzi Gaynor
