What do you think of Ann Miller, Shirley? Shirley: "She is very tall and pretty but I'm more interested in the swing"
Okay, what about Ann Sheridan? Shirley: "Is this a joke? I' would like to borrow it to go for a ride down a water slide" Guessing it was a bit too expensive for that Shirley!
Betty Grable looks fabulous, don't you agree? Shirley: She looks trust worthy, like my school teacher."
Colleen Moore? Shirley: "Is that real fur?" Nope! Not at all...moving along.
Carole Lombard looks divine! Shirley: I don't know what divine means but she's very serious and her hair reminds me of my puppies tail" We all can't have perfect little curls Shirley!
Hedy Lamarr looks perfect! Shirley: It reminds me of an ice cream cone and that I'm working through lunch again!" Eat your pixie stick, we're almost done!
Claudette Colbert in faux fur (pretty certain) Shirley: Claudette knitted that between scenes one day..she's very talented for an adult actress"
Gail Patrick, looking fashionable in hounds tooth. Shirley: She isn't showing any teeth but I recognize that gate!"...It's what they use to keep us corralled between scenes" Uhmmm.... It's probably best we don't discuss that here or anywhere.
Jean Arthur, fancy smancy! Shirley: Was she trying out to replace me for my number in Poor Little Rich Girl? If not I like her just fine.
Well, we will stop here for now. Somebody needs a nap and Shirley is getting cranky too. We hope you'll return for our weekly series on hats followed by my Winter series: Stars in furs (shhhh, Shirley thinks they are all faux fur)
Have a great day!

I love it! Shirley is the perfect co-host. She keeps us grounded in our envy of those glamorous gals with her child's honesty. And you keep us laughing with your great comedy writing. ("Somebody needs a nap and Shirley is getting cranky too.") Boy, do I agree with Shirley about that bizarre -- thing! -- on Ann Sheridan's head. Great pics, Page. Can't wait for the fur post (pardon me, FAUX fur -- in those days? No way!)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Forgot -- my favorites are Claudette Colbert and Jean Arthur. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBecky,
ReplyDeleteHa Ha Only Shirley could get away with snarking the stars and get away with it while flashing a dimple.
Glad you got a kick out of this post. I'm going to have a lot of fun with this series and then the 'faux' furs *wink.
Ann Sheridan would have looked gorgeous in a wind sock but that hat was a bit much.
Thanks for the sweet comments.

FlickChick,
ReplyDeleteI'm betting Shirley's teacher looked more like Judith Anderson.
I love hats too! I used to wear fancy hats a lot, more into ball caps and nice toboggans during winter now.

Page, I love/love hats and I wear them whenever I can get away with it. Shirley, makes the perfect little hostess cupcake.
ReplyDeleteDawn,
ReplyDeleteSeeing stars in fabulous hats is always a good thing isn't it? Shirley really was the best! Hollywood was lucky to have her all those years.

OT, but relevant for you, Page: We're on the verge of finishing round two of "Classic Film: Six Degrees Of Separation," where the object is to get from Carole Lombard to Goldie Hawn. You can learn more at http://carole-and-co.livejournal.com/465305.html.
ReplyDeletePage, I got a huge kick out of your millinery madness with funny and cute co-host Shirley Temple! :-) What gorgeous hats; I can imagine my dear mom looking down from Heaven smiling approvingly at all these fabulous hats, since her own stylish chapeaus were the stuff of legend, bless her! OK, Ann Sheridan's hat looks like it could swallow her up, but she could look good in almost anything otherwise. Thanks for the swell hat trick! :-)
ReplyDeleteDorian,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing that sweet story about your mom. I used to wear a lot of fancier hats and my mother also loves hats but she just doesn't have the head for it. (My dads words) : )
When the gorgeous Ann Sheridan looks silly you know there's a design flaw in your hats! lol
Thanks for commenting.

ReplyDeleteClaros,
