Why not curl up with a good book?

Bust Up

Shirley Eaton

In 1964, Goldfinger briefly made a sensation out of Shirley Eaton, whose nude, spray-painted body remains an iconic screen image. With typical British reserve, Miss Eaton gave her opinions of her fellow sex symbols to columnist Earl Wilson. Hollywood's bombshells must have been eager to send this bundle back to Britain after hearing these cheerful little earfuls:

"I don't want to be a sex symbol, or anything stupid like that...I mean perfectly terrible symbols like...Jayne Mansfield. [She's] laughed at."

"Anita Ekberg's even worse... She has a hard, brittle face -- and I don't think she's conspicuously talented."

"Carroll Baker? If that's going to be the new American sex symbol, I feel sorry for the American woman!...She wears a low dress and a big fur, but she's like a little housewife."

"People have been...saying really terrible things about Elizabeth Taylor. How she shouldn't wear bikinis, things like that. I can't bear people who are always downing people, can you?"

Don't Call Him Shirley

LESLIE NIELSEN
February 11, 1926 - November 28, 2010

Although he's best known (and beloved) for his brilliantly deadpan comic performances in Airplane! (1980) and The Naked Gun series, here at SSUWAT, we'll honor Mr. Nielsen's memory by watching such fare as Forbidden Planet (1956), The Opposite Sex (1956), Tammy and the Bachelor (1957), and Harlow (1965).

Two of our favorite aging sex kittens share a birthday today.

Nights in White Satin

Their hair is Harlow gold.

Bad

An Attempt To Sway Mr. Peenee

C'mon, Peenee... aren't you at least a little bit intrigued now?

It's a long, long way from Giant and How the West Was Won.

Or even Andy Warhol's Bad, for that matter.

But not as far down as Baba Yaga.

Baker's Dozen

We're pretty sure the caption on that last one translates to, "Super-Classy Blonde Actress."
