Here's To Life
This was originally posted in 2011, following the death of Elizabeth Taylor. Since then, we have lost a sobering number of ladies celebrated on this list: Celeste Holm, Joan Fontaine, Esther Williams, Deanna Durbin, Eleanor Parker, and Shirley Temple. All the more reason to continue to appreciate and celebrate the goddesses who remain -- there are no ascendants to the throne who can take their place.
Still among us in the 75-and-over category: ten bona fide Oscar winners (Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress); multiple Tony winners; and all sorts of fabulous. Carry on, ladies...
