Submitting on behalf of Carl S due to a mix up with the blog post:
I tend to think of the women when I think of glamor. Actresses like Ginger Rogers, Veronica Lake, Rita Hayworth, Elizabeth Taylor, and Greta Garbo. Thanks
Submitting on behalf of Melvin P. due to a blog post mixup:
One can’t mention Hollywood glamour and not have Marilyn Monroe come to mind. She brought undeniable class and allure when ever you caught a glimpse of her. From her role in Gentlemen prefer blondes to the classic The misfits she has personified what hollywood once was.
Bogie and Bacall, Maureen O’Hara and John Wayne, Myrna Loy and William Powell, Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn, Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland.
Nick and Nora Charles all the way. Also love the juxtaposition of The Long Hot Summer and The Drowning Pool for Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward’s evolution as a couple and on screen. And I’d be a liar if I claimed to not be a sucker for Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton paired together–The VIPs being a guilty pleasure.
Myrna Loy and William Powell, John Gilbert and Greta Garbo, and Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland.
Some are on-screen couples and some are off, but I love Gene Kelly & Judy Garland, Jimmy Stewart & June Allyson, William Powell & Myrna Loy, Clark Gable & Carole Lombard, and Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz.
My favorite classic movie couples on screen: Robert Mitchum and Marilyn Monroe, Sidney Poitier and Dorothy Dandridge, Rock Hudson and Doris Day, Barbara Stanwyck and Jimmy Stewart.
Ugh, I meant Fred MacMurray, not Jimmy Stewart.
hello!
I really love Deborah Kerr and Cary Grant together. I also really love Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner on screen! Jean Arthur and James Stewart are also a favorite on screen couple of mine. Oh and Robert Mitchum and Jean Simmons as well!
Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. Maureen O’Hara and John Wayne. Cary Grant and Myrna Loy. William Powell and Myrna Loy.
Bing Crosby and Bob Hope 🙂
Myrna Loy & William Powell, Clara Bow & Buddy Rogers, Alan Ladd & Veronica Lake, Dick Powell & Ruby Keeler.
