The Antique Pink of Hollywood

Antique pink, such  pretty color. The reason I am naming my post this is because it is what makes me think of these beatiful, brave, smart, elegant, charming ladies I will be writing about. But the list of great qualities does not stop there, but I figure I won't bore you with adjectives that describe them. Antique Pink is a series of posts I will be doing, as I become more acquainted with more old Hollywood actresses. But here are the great women I know lots about, that I love and wish to emulate. I love their real beauty, I love their red lips and rosy cheeks and thin but not to thin frames. But I will stop gushing and get to the point of this post..

And here they are, some of my personal favorites:

The strikingly beautiful, Natalie Wood, although to fans of my blog (which I am convinced there are none) Natalie being on this list is really not all that surprising. She has an EXTENSIVE list of movies she has been in, acting from the time she was a child in movies such as the iconic 34th Street and many others. As a teenager she starred alongside James Dean and Sal Mineo in Rebel Without a Cause. And after that, moving on to movies such as West Side Story, Inside Daisy Clover, and Splendor in the Grass to name a few. She had such a draw to her, she was attractive, but part of her beauty was that she could transform into cute, sexy, gorgeous, very young, very adult, or any array of different things. Her beauty could change, she didn't have just one look. Becuase if you look at pictures of her she looks very different in all of them, and in her movies you can sort of sense this change as well.

Next up, Audrey Hepburn! We all know of her beauty, in Breakfast at Tiffany's, Roman Holiday, The Nun's Story and others I am to lazy to type. The thing about Audrey is, women emulate her because she had this unmistakable air of confidence and charm that you could practically smell like perfume! She knew who she was and was so unafraid to be herself. And, isn't that something we all want? She earned the right to be referred to as a classic actress and if you do not belive this, go watch any of her movies, and if you have any brains you will understand exactly what I am talking about. Elegance radiated from her very being.

Elizabeth Taylor, pretty little violet eyed Liz. What a raven beauty, with her dark locks. She looked so much like a porcelain doll with beautiful porcelain skin. She was an uncommon gorgeous gal, in that not everyone has porcelain skin, black hair, and violet eyes. But she was also gifted with the ability to capture the attention of an audience while on screen, so very talented. Grace, something she had so very much of. It is hard to explain but she could just act with such grace on screen and off, all the time setting an example for everyone for decades to come.

Last but certainly not least, Marilyn Monroe. The ultimate blonde bombshell, who pretty much every girl and woman alike wishes they could be just a little like, and who every man desires and longs for. Ladies and gentlemen Marilyn doesn't require much to be said about her, because her personality comes through so well in her photos and movies. But let me just say, a magnificent actress, a wondrous beauty, and an honor to even be able to look at in movies and interviews. Just a damn shame she had to go for a president, or maybe her end would have been different. But then again, no one could resist her, not even a president.
