There just aren't any glamorous starlets with exotic monikers like Ilona Massey (June 16, 1910 - August 24, 1974) or Faith Domergue(June 16, 1924 - April 4, 1999) anymore - and our world is a poorer, less exciting place for it.
She may have been more behind the camera than in front (less Hollywood) but what about Elfi von Dassanowsky (1924-2007)... there's a name that makes one think of Ruritania and OMG what a face! www.elfivondassanowsky.org/biography.html
Ah, the sultry Faith Domergue (pronounced "dah-mure" for some odd reason!). But she was hardly "dah-mure" the day the green-eyed teen starlet rammed her convertible roadster into a young Ava Gardner, who was in the passenger seat of her much-older beau, Howard Hughes' sedan.

TJ, you are so right! Whatever happened to the Natacha Rambova of the world! Bring back the exotic!
ReplyDeleteIt's a sad commentary that junkie named "Lindsay" can be a celebrity now.
ReplyDeletei vant to be ilona.
ReplyDeleteIlona Massey, a quiet, regal, elegant woman, who had very little to say to us chorus cuties!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the immortal Swoosie Kurtz! The name not only comes tripping off one's tongue, it does a pratfall and a spit take.
