Still, she is an example of how the old movie stars were so much more beautiful than the ones now. This of how beautiful she was in the movie where Montgomery Clift (understandably) kills Shelley Winters to be with her. Or the one where she wears the white bathing suit on the beach. They don’t make them like that anymore. Or like Ava Gardner or Rita Hayworth or Veronica Lake. In movies where a modern actress imitates an old star, invariably you feel, ‘not even close.’ Why is that?
In her case, it's all the husbands!
I meant, “Think of how beautiful...”
... the movie where Montgomery Clift (understandably) kills Shelley Winters ...
A Place in the Sun: true crime via Theodore Dreiser.
I thought that was “Suddenly Last Summer.” She was good-looking in “Butterfield 8” as well. Regarding screen actors and actresses from the 50’s and 60’s, both the men and women were much classier then. I don’t know why, too much fluoride in the water, perhaps.
Yeah, but now she looks like Ernest Borgnine.
