Thought I’d shift my focus to actresses from “way back.” Their beauty and talent is timeless. This really was the "golden age" wasn't it? Unless of course you want me to post more of Hayley, Taylor, Dove, or Miley. Didn’t think so…

Dorothy Malone

Very popular actress of the 40’s and 50’s. Her career extended into the 60’s and 70's. I saw her once in “The Last Voyage” on late night TV when I was very young. Sort of like the “Titanic.” The ship sinks but of course she is saved! What did you think happened? Extremely beautiful and sexy, Dorothy was popular as a “pin-up” as well. Sadly, she passed away last year at 92.

In 1957 she won the Academy Award for “Best Actress in a Supporting Role” for “Written on the Wind.”

(Interesting Trivia: That is Rock Hudson sitting with her in the last picture. Her "husband" in "The Last Voyage" was played by none other than Robert Stack--"Elliot Ness" of the 50's TV show "The Untouchables." The man who helps save her from drowning was played by Woody Strode, a football star at UCLA who would go on to play in the NFL for the Los Angeles Rams. You probably know him from "Spartacus" as a gladiator. Listed at 6'4" 205 lbs. Strode was an "offensive end." Today we would call that position "wide receiver." Very fast and great all around athlete. He has been in many movies. )
