God Hollywood is a rotten dump. haha

I know 1989 is a bit outside the specified time period here, but I can't help including this scene from Scandal, with Brigit Fonda.

Claire Bloom was a Shakespearian actress of the highest order

Here's the full movie of Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious with Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant

Eleanor Parker. I've never heard of her but she did 80 movies and TV series and some of them were big ones, but her career seems to have ended in the early 50's when I was just being born.

She won an Oscar for this performance

The career of an actrice is always precarious. Early success is no indicator for the future. A star is one or two failures away from being a bad bet and unemployable.

Tippy Walker for example

>Both women are now in their sixties, and it turns out that they’ve had lives eerily like those that that could have been extrapolated from the characters they play in “Henry Orient.” Spaeth (levelheaded, studious Gil) left acting, graduated from Columbia University with an M.B.A., and went into Republican politics. She worked for the F.B.I. as assistant to the director, created and ran Ronald Reagan’s communications office when he was President, worked on George W. Bush’s campaigns, including being the P.R. point woman on the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth effort (which she says is her “biggest regret”), and now has her own successful communications firm in Dallas—she posts promotional videos on YouTube about being an effective corporate communicator.

>It was harder to find out what happened to Tippy Walker, the radiant actress who played Val. The brilliance of her performance seemed to have surprised even the moviemakers (they ended up reshaping the movie around Val’s character in the editing room, including a day of shooting, months after the production wrapped, of the iconic scene of her walk through a snowy Central Park, beloved of all fans of the film). I searched the IMDb message boards for news of her, and found hundreds of queries from fans, but few answers. She was briefly on the TV show “Dr. Kildare” and did a similarly short stint on “Peyton Place,” during its final throes. She played in just two more movies, “Jennifer on my Mind,” an execrable 1971 film written by Eric Segal, of “Love Story” infamy, where she essentially played Val more grownup—a troubled, rich-girl heroin addict who O.D.s at the end. (A Tippy Walker fanatic, and they are legion, has posted the entire movie to YouTube; it reveals that she lost exactly none of the thrilling naturalism of her “Henry Orient” performance—she is by far the best thing in the movie—and was, indeed, on a par with the actor who, in one of his earliest first film roles, had a cameo as a voluble taxi driver: Robert De Niro.) She was then in a movie called “The Jesus Trip” (also 1971), which attempted to cash in on the biker-movie trend spawned by “Easy Rider.” She played a kidnapped nun. She was twenty-four, and that was her last acting job.

Edie Sedgwick appeared in a lot of Andy Warhol movies

Claudine Longet was so famous that the Rolling Stones wrote a song about her.

Claudine's back in jail again

Claudine's back in jail again

Claudine's back in jail again, Claudine

Claudine's back in jail again

Claudine's back in jail again

She only does it at weekends

Claudine

Now only Spider knows for sure

But he ain't talkin' about it any more

Isn't, Claudine?

There's blood in the chalet

And blood in the snow

She washed her hands of the whole damn show

Claudine

She shot him once right through the head

She shot him twice right through the chest

The judge says ruled it was an accident Claudine

Accidents will happen

And Claudine's back in jail again

Claudine's back in jail again

Claudine's back in jail again, Claudine

Claudine's back in jail again

Claudine's back in jail again

Claudine's back in jail again, Claudine

Hey go baby

Go baby…

why this goddamn thread smells like incel so much

>why this goddamn thread smells like incel so much?

Because you're here?

No other movie depicts how depressing and ugly the 70's became than Looking for Mr. Goodbar. Diane Keaton has this horrible black cloud of doom hanging over her head for the entire movie and watching it is torture as you sit there and wait for her catastrophic ending.

In many ways it's the perfect 70's movie.

God, women have changed so much since the 40's and 50's and 60's. It's tragic.

Well there's Vera Miles, most well known for Psycho and then there's Sylvia Miles of Andy Warhol/Paul Morressey and Midnight Cowboy fame.

And Andy Warhol's (Paul Morressey's) Heat with Joe D'Allesandro

That fat broad in the scene from Heat with Sylvia was Pat Ast. We should also mention while were on the topic of Heat, Andrea Feldman who is hilarious.

Damn and Oskar Werner was a great actor too..

Huh...Vivien Leigh played in Ship of Fools too

Gloria Swanson. And hanging around here I'm suddenly feeling strongly that the time has finally come to watch some Von Stroheim movies

Queen Kelly (1929) is an American silent film produced in 1928-29 and released by United Artists. The film was directed by Erich von Stroheim, starred Gloria Swanson, in the title role, Walter Byron as her lover, and Seena Owen. The film was produced by Joseph P. Kennedy, who was Swanson's lover at the time.

I've tried to leave the old age factor out of this thread as much as I can. Time is cruel, especially to beautiful women.

Pretty please, post Annie Jamet. I'd ask for Ogier, but she doesn't fit, Chaullet already has nice pic in top 250, Soňa Valentová will be probably hard to search for and I've seen her only in Witchhammer, Anna Karina was fine in La Religieuse, strong personalities just shine in bland clothing (they are what makes them beatiful, they give beauty), when she weren't wearing any head covering, in the dark teal robe, yes, that's when she was the perfect bride, to fuck with God against the wall of monastery, with blood dripping on the greenest grass, on the bloodlusty emeralds.

That's all I can think of right now, maybe also Florence Bellamy and Charlotte Alexandra.

Have you seen Play It As It Lays? A nice little gem starring Tuesday Weld. Somehow it continues to elude the home video market.

This isn't exactly the best quality of acting but there's this odd transition between Vaudeville comedy, the New York stage, and early TV that's a thing of the past now. I encountered live variety shows that had this kind of comedy in downtown Rome as late as the 1950's. I wonder if it still survives in the 21st century? Anyway, Gracie Allen was the avatar of this and the Burns and Allen TV show really expresses the true style and feel of the prosperous 50's better than anything else I can think of, even more than big fins on huge American cars with lots of chrome. It's sort of out of place here but for me a lot of this thread is a sentimental stroll down memory lane.

I meant "downtown Rome as late as 1985" not the 1950's.

The relationship of the NY stage to the movies and TV is again seen in the career of Kitty Carlisle (fake name)

>Kitty Carlisle was born as Catherine Conn (pronounced Cohen) in New Orleans, Louisiana of German Jewish heritage. Her grandfather Ben Holtzman was the mayor of Shreveport, Louisiana, and a Confederate veteran of the American Civil War. He had been a gunner on the CSS Virginia, the Confederate ironclad warship that fought the USS Monitor at the Battle of Hampton Roads. Her father Joseph Conn was a gynecologist who died when she was 10 years old.[citation needed] Her mother[4] Hortense Holtzman Conn was obsessed with breaking into the prevailing Gentile society. A taxi driver once asked if her daughter were Jewish, and she answered, "She may be, but I'm not".[5]

>Carlisle's mother took her to Europe in 1921 where her mother hoped to marry her off to European royalty, believing that the nobility there were more amenable to a Jewish bride. The two of them traveled around Europe and often lived in what Carlisle recalled as "the worst room of the best hotel." She was educated at the Chateau Mont-Choisi in Lausanne, Switzerland, then at the Sorbonne and the London School of Economics. She studied acting in London at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.[6]

I already did Natalie Wood, but...OH GOD NATALIE WOOD.

We tend to remember Julie Andrews for Sound of Music, a monster hit for sure. But A Thoroughly Modern Millie was in many ways a better made musical. And in this scene we also see another famous actress of the era outside of her TV role in Dick Van Dyke show or Mary Tyler Moore Show.
