Gene Tierney

Gene Tierney, Rex Harrison and George Sanders in The Ghost and Mrs Muir - there's no better film for a blustery Sunday afternoon. But I''ll raise you a Katharine Hepburn:

[img][img]http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg55 ... epburn.jpg[/img]

- because, to my mind, as well as the fact that she had that face and that voice and that character - Bringing Up Baby, Holiday, Woman of the Year, The Philadelphia Story, Guess Who's Coming o Dinner and On Golden Pond are pretty hard to beat for sheer entertainment; ranging from zany comedy to social statement.

Lauren Bacall

Myrna Loy

Jean Simmons

Olivia De Haviland

(For all of you CHIC fans, Bacall had loads of it and Myrna Loy just a dash. While both beautiful, Simmons and De Haviland, had none.)

NJS, Tierney in “Laura” was unforgettable as well. I'll leave you your Kate.

Cheers

As far as I know, and unless I misunderstand what you wrote, both Lauren Bacall and Olivia de Haviland are still alive, the latter living in Paris.

I used to see her regularly, wobbling down 57th Street drunk as a lord (or was it a judge, I forget) as I stepped out for lunch. It was a bit sad to see her that way, her beguiling eyes being replaced by eyes that appeared a bit out of focus, looking a bit lost. Amazingly, she was still the chicest thing on the pavement, on any given day.

They fought over everything else so I supposes it has come down to that.

As chic as they come and very much alive:
