Boyd's Bunch

In ruminating over the filmography of Stephen Boyd, as we are often wont to do, we've decided upon a rudimentary categorization of his oft-illustrious co-stars. Therefore, we hereby declare the following:

THE BEST LOOKING BOOKENDS: Dorothy Dandridge and Joan Collins
Island in the Sun (20th Century Fox, 1957)

 

THE BEST POUT: Brigitte Bardot
The Night Heaven Fell (Kingsley-International, 1958)

 



THE MOST FRIGHTENING: Joan Crawford
The Best of Everything (20th Century Fox, 1959)
 

THE TOUGHEST: Susan Hayward
Woman Obsessed (20th Century Fox, 1959)

THE MOST SUPERIOR: Dolores Hart
Lisa (20th Century Fox, 1962)



THE SUNNIEST: Doris Day
Billy Rose's Jumbo (MGM, 1962)



THE MOST REGAL: Sophia Loren
The Fall of the Roman Empire (Paramount, 1964)

THE CLASSIEST: Eleanor Parker
The Oscar (Embassy, 1966)

THE MOST LIKELY TO STEAL FOCUS FROM BOYD'S BULGE: Raquel Welch
Fantastic Voyage (20th Century Fox, 1966)



THE BEST WIGLET: Yvette Mimieux
Caper of the Golden Bulls (Embassy, 1967)

THE MOST CLUELESS: Charlton Heston
Ben Hur (MGM, 1959)

 

 

Follow the Boys?

One of our readers sent in this fabulous image of a swingin' sixties sister that we missed: the one and only Connie Francis, appearing on an episode of Bob Hope Presents the Chrysler Theatre in 1966 entitled "The Sister and the Savage." (We assume that she essayed the former role.) Incidentally, in real life, La Franconero's reel life sorority sister from Where the Boys Are (1960) also got the habit, and is now Reverend Mother Dolores Hart!

Summer Vacation

Darlings, we're taking a brief hiatus from posting for a while. Not terribly long; just enough to recharge our fabulosity batteries. We'd also like to send birthday wishes out to a dedicated follower of SSUWAT!

See you soon, possums!
