(T)it Comes in Threes: Miley Cyrus is the Next to Strip

2009-07-22T05:15:00.001-07:00

This report comes from Mr. Skin.

(T)it Comes in Threes: Miley Cyrus is the Next to Strip

Someone's Nose Just Grew a Miley

You laughed at Vanessa Hudgens’s intimations about her onscreen nudity and you cried at nude Hayden Panetttiere’s absurd assertion that she is completely naked in her latest film.

Now it’s time to search for the proper emotional response for former Disney star Miley Cyrus’s announcement that she plans to go after a role for which, according to sources “nudity WILL be required.”

And apparently, more nudity than the scandalous bareback photos she took for Vanity Fair.

MSNBC reports:

Cyrus is rumored to be interested in the lead role in “Undiscovered Gyrl,” the film version of Allison Burnett’s new novel. It’s still early for casting — Burnett’s agent Richard Abate has reportedly just begun shopping the manuscript to publishers and has yet to secure a deal for the film.

So this is a long way from being a sure thing.

First the movie has to not get made, then it has to be rewritten to cut out the nudity, then Miley has to turn down the part, then she has to get a body double to do her scenes, and finally, those scenes have to be cut from the final edit.

If anyone has a different scenario for how this will play out, let him leave it in the comments section.

The MSNBC report continues

However, a source close to the project says Cyrus is interested in the part, which would be that of “a lovable, lost suburban girl who descends into a life of reckless partying and promiscuity.” The source says if Cyrus did take the part, you’d be seeing a lot more of Cyrus than what appeared in the Vanity Fair photos. “There would definitely be nude scenes,” says the source.

The only thing that’s not clear is whether or not the noted celebrity portrait photographer Can-we See-those-titz will be involved again.

A friend of mine suggested that I watch Serenity since I am working on capping the entire Firefly Series. Thank you for the recommendation it was well worth the time. Although I was sad that Preacher and Gina Torres's Husband in the show got killed. I was very surprised and happy to see that Summer Glau learned to kick ass in the movie and that Kaylee and the Doc finally got together and became a couple. I know if Fox ever pulls it's head out it's ass and decides to finally redo the show and continue it I will be watching it.

Impressionist Danny Gans' untimely death shocks Vegas

'HE CAN'T BE REPLACED'

Impressionist Danny Gans' untimely death shocks Vegas

By MIKE WEATHERFORD and DOUG ELFMAN
LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL

Usually on show nights, Danny Gans joined his band and crew for a short prayer. But on Friday night, for the first time in years, they prayed without him.

They held each others' hands -- tight, so tight -- a circle of 16 in the Green Room, near scores of framed photos of Gans posing with old Vegas (George Burns, Bob Hope, Ray Charles) and new Hollywood (Paula Abdul, Tito Martinez, Ben Stiller.)

The 52-year-old impressionist died at his Henderson home early Friday. The cause of death is unknown.

Police conducted a death investigation at the home Friday morning following department procedure, and Henderson police spokesman Todd Rasmussen said investigators don't believe foul play was a factor in Gans' death.

Rasmussen said police received a call about 3:45 a.m. from a woman inside the home in the exclusive Roma Hills gated community off of Horizon Ridge Parkway in Henderson. The woman said that a 52-year-old male was having breathing problems. When officers and paramedics arrived they found the man unresponsive. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

A Clark County coroner's office spokesperson said an autopsy was performed on Gans' body Friday. The cause of death is unknown pending toxicology studies, which could take between two to four weeks.

Gans' manager Chip Lightman texted with Gans on Thursday.

"Everything seemed fine. The only difference was, on his day off, he would usually run errands and stuff, and he was exhausted. He hadn't slept well the night before. He laid down in the late afternoon."

Gans' wife woke up in the middle of the night, rolled over and touched Gans.

"She didn't feel him breathing," Lightman said.

She called paramedics. They tried resuscitating him to no avail.

Gans was an athletic and animated performer, an avid golfer who had turned to show business only after a career-ending injury in minor-league baseball.

But he also had undergone surgeries on his neck, shoulder and wrist over the years. The most recent was in November, almost immediately after he ended his long run at The Mirage.

In a statement, Lightman said: "Danny Gans will not only be remembered as a Las Vegas entertainer, but as a man who loved his family, loved God and loved the city of Las Vegas.

"Danny Gans has been my partner and dear friend for over 18 years. I will truly miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife of 28 years, Julie Gans, and three children, Amy, Andrew and Emily."

Wynn Resorts Chairman Steve Wynn also released a statement about the entertainer.

"Elaine and I and all of us in the company are devastated at the loss of our brilliant, talented and loving friend. One of the most unique human beings and entertainers in the world has been taken from us in an unexpected moment. A profoundly tragic event that leaves us all sad and speechless. The loss of Danny to his wife, Julie, his children, Amy, Andrew and Emily, is at this moment impossible to comprehend. We will all try to go on with our lives without our dear friend. At this moment, it seems almost impossible."

"It's the equivalent of a Sammy Davis Jr. Somebody who's multitalented. He can't be replaced," Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman said Friday. "There are some people whose memory and reputations will live on, and Danny was one of those people.

"He lived the life he preached. It was always a clean show. It was always a wholesome show. That's the way he really lived. That's unusual in and of itself. Most people are a little bit phony about that, but Danny Gans was not a phony," Goodman said.

Gans was the rare entertainer who, in the fashion of Wayne Newton or Siegfried & Roy, enjoyed a fame nearly unique to Las Vegas, rather than coming to the Strip as an established star.

Instead, the impressionist launched his first headline residency, at the Stratosphere in May 1996, after years of lucrative work on the corporate and convention circuit.

"It was really a fairy tale," he told the Review-Journal in 2000, when he was preparing to open a dedicated new theater at The Mirage.

Gans was born in Los Angeles on Oct. 25, 1956, and raised in Torrance, Calif. His father, Sid, had been a Catskills musician and comedian (before he died in 2003, he was quick to stand up and sing a little when his son would introduce him in the audience at The Mirage).

Gans often related to interviewers and audiences that he turned to his knack for mimicry -- "a fun guy to have on a long bus ride," as he once put it -- after a severed Achilles tendon ended his one-season career in British Columbia, with the Class A Victoria Mussels of the Northwest League in 1978.

He scored a few minor acting roles, including a brief appearance in the movie "Bull Durham," but found more success on the circuit of corporate entertainment. By the time he briefly performed on Broadway in late 1995, he already was fielding interest from Las Vegas.

Gans opened at the Stratosphere in May 1996, and word quickly spread about the impressionist who reinvented a dusty old genre by imitating then-contemporary stars along with the more traditional voices. Some of them were even female: A showstopper was his re-creation of the "Unforgettable" duet with the voices of both Nat and Natalie Cole.

Gans quickly moved to the Rio, where clashes with management resulted in an offer from Wynn to convert a Mirage ballroom into a dedicated theater. He opened in April 2000 and became a fixture there for more than eight years.

The impressionist reunited with Wynn -- who had agreed to sell his properties to the company that became MGM Mirage just as Gans opened -- to take over the Wynn Las Vegas theater vacated by "Monty Python's Spamalot," branding the venue with the new sister property Encore.

Gans launched his new show there Feb. 6. He had performed four times weekly for nearly 12 weeks.

Physical problems occasionally interrupted Gans' eight-year run at The Mirage, as did the stress of losing both his parents in the same year, 2003. An auto accident injured his neck and left hand that same year, requiring neck surgery. In late 2005, he took a three-month break from The Mirage for surgeries on his right rotator cuff and left hand.

Lightman said Gans seemed as healthy as could be. He worked out every day. Every night after a show, he would eat egg whites, spinach and apples. He never ate fried foods. He rarely drank.

"Danny might have drunk two bottles of red wine in a year," Lightman said.

"He was really very health conscious" -- largely to stay in show shape.

"These people paid their hard earned money to see the show, and he would say, 'I'm gonna give them everything I've got,' " Lightman said.

Sens. Harry Reid and John Ensign also released statements reacting to the entertainer's death.

"Danny Gans brought joy to the lives of the millions of Nevadans and tourists who came to Las Vegas to see his show. He was a talented performer who used his celebrity to give back to our community and those in need. Las Vegas is a better place because of Danny Gans. He will truly be missed," Reid said.

"Danny Gans was a talented entertainer and a valuable member of our community whose contributions to help those in need will be greatly missed. Darlene and I will keep his family in our thoughts and prayers as they mourn such a sudden loss," Ensign said.

Gans hosted charity golf tournaments and the Danny Gans Champions Run for Life to benefit children's charities. He started the Danny Gans Junior Golf Academy to introduce youngsters to the game. During his Mirage run, he had "locals appreciation" shows with discounted ticket prices and the proceeds donated to charity. In February 2008, he donated money from one performance to Opportunity Village.

Encore officials said any current tickets purchased on credit cards automatically will be refunded without the need to visit the box office. Services for the entertainer are pending.

"There is a hope of reunion when every one of us is reunited with Danny," the Rev. Gary Morefield of Green Valley Christian Center told the band and crew during Friday's prayer meeting, reading them part of Psalm 119. "It's the hope that will sustain us."

Then Gans' pastor appealed to God. "We need you in this hour more than ever."

And they prayed. And they mourned.

Jessica Alba Gets A Ticket

2009-04-25T22:00:00.000-07:00

License and registration please, Jessica Alba!

The Fantastic Four actress got a tap on the shoulder from the long arm of the law on Friday after making a wrong turn down a one-way street in Santa Monica, California.

In a seeming effort to butter the cop up and perhaps evade a citation, Alba flashed a million-watt smile—a rare effort indeed for the generally mirthless actress.

Alas, no dice; the man in blue went right on ahead filling out the ticket.

Nice to see that justice is, occasionally, served to celebrities in La-La Land.

Eva Mendes as Sand Saref
Sarah Paulson as Ellen Dolan
Stana Katic as Morgenstern: A rookie officer and skilled sharpshooter
Jaime King as Lorelei
Paz Vega as Plaster of Paris
Kimberly Cox as Elsa: A Damsel in Distress.

In Central City, rookie cop Denny Colt returns from the dead as the detective known only as the Spirit to fight crime. After he finds his nemesis, the Octopus, at the Central City mud flats, the femme fatale Sand Saref discovers two chests in a nearby pond. She tries to flee with both chests, but the Octopus shoots at her, snapping the line that connects the two chests together. After a fight with the Spirit, Octopus takes the remaining chest that Saref left behind and escapes with one of his thugs. The Octopus wants the mystical Blood of Heracles in order to become immortal and Sand Saref wants the treasure of the Argonauts, but both people end up with the wrong chest, Sand with the blood and the Octopus with the treasure of the Argonauts.

There is only one nude scene in the movie and that is of Eva Mendes from the rear. Boy does she have a very nice ass. To bad we did not get a look at the front side. I really enjoyed the whole movie and thought that it was a fantastic addaptation of the comic book. I was shocked at Scarlett Johanssons role in the movie but I will stay this she does make a good female villian.

Angelina Jolie

2009-04-15T16:49:00.000-07:00

"The air is crisp, the flowers are blooming, and the birds are chirping. The Angelina Jolie pregnancy rumor season is officially upon us. Star brings us the first one:

In the April 27 issue of Star — on sale today! — we exclusively reveal that Hollywood's most famous parents, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, are adding another child to their clan.

"Yes, Angie is pregnant," a family insider tells Star. "They'd been trying for another baby for months, but it was still a total shock when she found out. Brad and Angie have been fighting so much lately, it just didn't seem possible."

A source close to the actress confirms that Angie is about two and a half months along. "She's thrilled. She said she knew she was pregnant before the test confirmed it!" But she kept the news from Brad, only telling him when he returned from a trip to New Orleans at the end of March. "It happened just in time, because things were getting pretty ugly between them," says one source.

In summary, she's definitely not knocked up. There have been countless pregnancy rumors about Angelina over the past few years. If they were all true she'd have 25 babies and a reality show on TLC by now." from Celebslam

Phil Spector found guilty of 2nd-degree murder

2009-04-14T19:03:00.000-07:00

AP, Apr 13, 2009 8:12 pm PDT
Rock music producer Phil Spector was convicted Monday of second-degree murder in the shooting death of a film actress at his mansion six years ago, a verdict that will send him to prison for at least 18 years barring a successful appeal.

A Superior Court jury returned the verdict after about 30 hours of deliberations. The jury had the option of choosing the lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter, but did not do so.

The panel also found Spector guilty of using a firearm in committing a crime.

Spector exhibited no reaction to the verdict. His attorney argued that he should remain free on bail pending the May 29 sentencing, but Judge Larry Paul Fidler remanded him to jail immediately.

Second-degree murder carries a penalty of 15 years to life in prison. The use-of-a-gun enhancement adds three, four or 10 years in prison, according to the district attorney's office.

Defense attorney Doron Weinberg said he believed the case was swayed by the judge's erroneous rulings, particularly one that allowed five women from Spector's past to testify. He said it would be the basis for appeal and a request for a new trial.

Spector's young wife, Rachelle, sobbed as the decision was announced. It was Spector's second trial. The first jury deadlocked 10-2, favoring conviction in 2007.

The 40-year-old Lana Clarkson, star of the 1985 cult film "Barbarian Queen," died of a gunshot fired in her mouth as she sat in the foyer of Spector's mansion in 2003. She met Spector only hours earlier at her job as a nightclub hostess.

Prosecutors argued Spector had a history of threatening women with guns when they tried to leave his presence. The defense claimed she killed herself.

The murder case was a flash from Hollywood's distant past, a reminder of the 1960s when Spector reigned as the hit maker supreme with such songs as the Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" and the Ronettes' classic, "Be My Baby."

Spector, 69, who had long lived in seclusion at his suburban Alhambra "castle," was out on the town in Hollywood when he met Clarkson on Feb. 3, 2003, at the House of Blues. The tall, blond actress, recently turned 40 and unable to find acting work, had taken a job as a hostess. When the club closed in the wee hours, she accepted a chauffeured ride to Spector's home for a drink. Three hours later, she was dead.

Spector's chauffeur, the key witness, said he heard a gunshot, then saw Spector emerge holding a gun and heard him say: "I think I killed somebody."

During the trial, Weinberg disputed whether the chauffeur remembered the words accurately. In closing arguments, he listed 14 points of forensic evidence including blood spatter, gunshot residue and DNA, which he said were proof of a self-inflicted wound.

"It's very difficult to put a gun in somebody's mouth," he said.

"Every single fact says this is a self-inflicted gunshot wound," Weinberg argued. "How do you ignore it? How do you say this could have been a homicide?"

But prosecutors portrayed Spector as a dangerous man who became a "demonic maniac" when he drank and had a history of threatening women with guns. They also contended blood spatter evidence proved that Clarkson could not have shot herself.

As in the first trial, they presented testimony from five women who told of being threatened by a drunken Spector, even held hostage in his home, with a gun pointed at them and threats of death if they tried to leave. The parallels with the night Clarkson died were chilling even if the stories were very old — 31 years in one instance.

Prosecutors, haunted by the acquittals of stars such as O.J. Simpson, Robert Blake and Michael Jackson, at first seemed invested in making Spector the first star to be convicted in a major criminal case. But after the first trial ended in a deadlock, public interest faded. The second six-month trial was played out in a sparsely populated courtroom with few members of the media present.

Deputy District Attorney Alan Jackson said Monday that "justice ... was unserved up until today. Today is when the Clarkson family gets their justice."

The jury forewoman, who refused to be identified, cried as she described how the panel made its choice.

"It just is a painful decision," she said.

During jury selection, only a few panelists remembered Spector's heyday as the inventor of the "Wall of Sound" recording technique and producer of teen anthems including, "To Know Him is to Love Him," The Crystals' "Da Doo Ron Ron" and "He's a Rebel" and Ike and Tina Turner's "River Deep-Mountain High." He also worked on the Beatles' album "Let it Be."

From Here To Eternity

2009-04-04T23:10:00.000-07:00

I have always been a fan of some of the classic movies, and have always wanted to watch "From Here To Eternity" just never got the chance until I found the movie in of all places a Redbox Machine the other day. Have tried to watch the movie all the way through for three days now and finally finished watching it tonight.

As far as I was concerned the movie was worth the wait and was probably one of the best movies that I have seen in years. I really wish they would make them like this today.

The movie won 8 Oscars, was nominated for 5 other Oscars, along with 8 other wins. The MPAA banned photos of the famous Burt Lancaster-Deborah Kerr passionate kiss on the beach for being too erotic. Many prints had shortened versions of the scene because projectionists would cut out frames to keep as souvenirs. From IMDB. This movie was also the Film Debut of Claude Akins.

As I get a chance to watch some of the older movies I plan on capping them and also posting pictures and collages from the movies.

First up are a couple of Donna Reed(I actually thought that she was better in the movie than Deborah Kerr was.)

Next Up is Deborah Kerr.

Now a couple of both Donna and Deborah

And finally Jean Willis

Nozzleman Celeb of the Week

2009-04-04T06:42:00.000-07:00

Grace Kelly
12 November 1929—14 September 1982

This weeks Celeb of the Week is Grace Kelly.
(Note: The information in this post comes from two sources the first is:

Wikipedia's Grace Kelly Article

And part of the information came from the Internet Movie Database.

Grace Kelly is one of those actresses that made the Golden Age of Hollywood Great. She was beautiful, talented, graceful, and left us way too early. If Grace had not of meet and fell in love with Prince Rainier III, she would have been probably the Greatest Actresses to ever live.

Princess of Monaco

Kelly's wedding was a 40-minute civil ceremony that took place in the Palace Throne Room of Monaco on April 18, 1956, and was broadcast across Europe. To cap the ceremony, the 142 official titles (counterparts of Rainier's) that Kelly acquired in the union were formally recited. The event concluded the following day with the church ceremony at Monaco's Saint Nicholas Cathedral. Kelly's wedding dress, designed by MGM's Academy Award-winning Helen Rose, was worked on for six weeks by three dozen seamstresses. The 600 guests included Hollywood stars David Niven and his wife Hjordis, Gloria Swanson, Ava Gardner, the crowned head Aga Khan, and Conrad Hilton. Frank Sinatra initially accepted an invitation but at the last minute decided otherwise, afraid of upstaging the bride on her wedding day. Queen Elizabeth II flatly refused to attend on the grounds of there being "too many movie stars."[citation needed] The ceremony was watched by an estimated 30 million people on television. The prince and princess left that night for their seven-week Mediterranean cruise honeymoon on Rainier's yacht, Deo Juvante II.

Children and family

Princess Grace gave birth to the couple's first child, Princess Caroline nine months and four days after the wedding. 21 guns announced the event, a national holiday was called, gambling ceased, and free champagne flowed throughout the principality. A little over a year later, 101 guns announced the birth of their second child, Prince Albert. Prince Rainier and Princess Grace had three children:

* Hereditary Princess Caroline Louise Marguerite, born January 23, 1957, and now heiress presumptive to the throne of Monaco
* Albert II, Prince of Monaco, born March 14, 1958, current ruler of the Principality of Monaco
* Princess Stéphanie Marie Elisabeth, born February 1, 1965.

After the marriage, Prince Rainier banned the screening of Kelly's films.[12] Hitchcock offered Kelly the lead in his film Marnie in 1962. She was eager, but public outcry against her involvement made her reconsider and ultimately reject the project. Director Herbert Ross attempted to lure Princess Grace for his 1977 film The Turning Point, but Prince Rainier quashed the idea. Later that year, Kelly returned to the arts in a series of poetry readings on stage and the narration of the documentary The Children of Theater Street. She also narrated ABC's made-for-television film The Poppy Is Also a Flower (1966).

As princess, Kelly was active in improving the arts institutions of Monaco, and eventually the Princess Grace Foundation was formed to support local artisans. She was one of the first celebrities to support and speak on behalf of La Leche League, an organization that advocates breastfeeding; she planned a yearly Christmas party for local orphans, and dedicated a Garden Club that reflected her love of flowers.

In 1981, the Prince and Princess celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary.

Friendship with Josephine Baker

In 1951, the newly famous Kelly took a bold stand against a racist incident involving Black American expatriate singer/dancer Josephine Baker, when the Sherman Billingsley's Stork Club in New York refused Baker as a customer. Kelly, who was dining at the club when this happened, was so disgusted that she rushed over to Baker (whom she had never met), took her by the arm, and stormed out with her entire party, vowing never to return (and she never did).[citation needed] The two women became close friends after that night. A significant testament to their close friendship was made evident when Baker was near bankruptcy, and was offered a villa and financial assistance by Kelly (who by that time had become The Princess of Monaco) and her husband Rainier III of Monaco. The princess also encouraged Baker to return to performing and financed Baker's triumphant comeback in 1975, attending the opening night's performance. When Baker died, the Princess secured her burial in Monaco.

On September 13, 1982, while driving with her daughter Stéphanie to Monaco from their country home, Princess Grace suffered a stroke, which caused her to drive her Rover P6 off the serpentine road down a mountainside. Princess Grace was pulled alive from the wreckage, but had suffered serious injuries and was unconscious. She died the following day at the Monaco Hospital [renamed Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace (in English - The Princess Grace Hospital Centre) in 1958], having never regained consciousness. It was initially reported that Princess Stéphanie suffered only minor bruising, although it later emerged that she had suffered a serious cervical fracture. It was rumored that Princess Grace had been driving on the same stretch of highway that had been featured in her 1955 movie To Catch a Thief, but her son has always denied it.

Princess Grace was buried in the Grimaldi family vault on September 18, 1982, after a requiem mass in Saint Nicholas Cathedral, Monaco. The 400 guests at the service included representatives of foreign governments and of present and past European royal houses (Diana, Princess of Wales, was the only member of the British royal family to attend), as well as several veteran US film stars (including To Catch a Thief costar Cary Grant). Nearly 100 million people worldwide watched her funeral. Prince Rainier, who did not remarry after Kelly's death, was buried alongside her following his death in 2005.

In his eulogy, James Stewart said:
“ You know, I just love Grace Kelly. Not because she was a princess, not because she was an actress, not because she was my friend, but because she was just about the nicest lady I ever met. Grace brought into my life as she brought into yours, a soft, warm light every time I saw her, and every time I saw her was a holiday of its own. No question, I'll miss her, we'll all miss her, God bless you, Princess Grace. ”

Piper Perabo

2009-04-04T06:16:00.000-07:00

One of my favorite movies is Coyote Ugly. And most of have seen the movie. This was the first movie that I ever saw Piper in and really loved her role in the movie.

Madonna--The Material Girl

2009-04-04T06:09:00.001-07:00

I have always enjoyed Madonna's music and it is one of those that I listen to at work all the time. I have her songs on my mp3 player and when I am working on the pool, before any of the girls in the office arrive, or when I am working on an apartment I listen to her all the time. Mainly the older stuff. I loved her performance in A League of Their Own, and some of the other movies that she has done.

I also plan on doing a larger blog post of Madonna in the near future.

Amber Lynn

2009-04-04T06:04:00.000-07:00

Another one of those that should have left her breast the way they were. She was one of those ladies that I would watch and dream about. But now she is not worth the time as far as I am concerned.

Marilyn Chambers

What can you say about the Ivory Snow girl that has not been said before. She is beautiful and was in her prime one of the best porn stars there was.

Jill Kelly

2009-04-04T05:59:00.000-07:00

Jill Kelly is another one of my favorites. Although I don't like her as much as I use to since she had her breasts enlarged. I am sorry but I like small breasted women. I guess that is one of the reasons that I really like Asian Women.

Marilyn Monroe
1926-1962

Voted 'Sexiest Woman of the Century' by People Magazine. [1999]

Was 1947's Miss California Artichoke Queen.

Probably the most celebrated of all actresses, Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jean Mortenson on June 1, 1926, in Los Angeles General Hospital. Prior to her birth, Marilyn's father bought a motorcycle and headed north to San Francisco, abandoning the family in Los Angeles. Marilyn grew up not knowing for sure who her father really was. Her mother, Gladys, had entered into several relationships, further confusing her daughter as to who it was who fathered her. Afterward, Gladys gave Norma Jean (Marilyn) the name of Baker, a boyfriend she had before Mortenson. Poverty was a constant companion to Gladys and Norma. Gladys, who was extremely attractive and worked for RKO Studios as a film cutter, suffered from mental illness and was in and out of mental institutions for the rest of her life, and because of that Norma Jean spent time in foster homes. When she was nine she was placed in an orphanage where she was to stay for the next two years. Upon being released from the orphanage, she went to yet another foster home. In 1942, at the age of 16, Norma Jean married 21-year-old aircraft plant worker James Dougherty. The marriage only lasted four years, and they divorced in 1946. By this time Marilyn began to model swimsuits and bleached her hair blonde. Various shots made their way into the public eye, where some were eventually seen by RKO Pictures head Howard Hughes. He offered Marilyn a screen test, but an agent suggested that 20th Century-Fox would be the better choice for her, since it was a much bigger and more prestigious studio. She was signed to a contract at $125 per week for a six-month period and that was increased by $25 per week at the end of that time when her contract was lengthened.

Her first film was in 1947 with a bit part in The Shocking Miss Pilgrim (1947). Her next production was not much better, a bit in the eminently forgettable Scudda Hoo! Scudda Hay! (1948). Two of the three brief scenes she appeared wound up on the cutting room floor. Later that same year she was given a somewhat better role as Evie in Dangerous Years (1947). However, Fox declined to renew her contract, so she went back to modeling and acting school.

Columbia Pictures then picked her up to play Peggy Martin in Ladies of the Chorus Love Happy (1949). It was also that same year she posed nude for the now famous calendar shot which was later to appear in Playboy magazine in 1953 and further boost her career. She would be the first centerfold in that magazine's long and illustrious history. The next year proved to be a good year for Marilyn. She appeared in five films, but the good news was that she received very good notices for her roles in two of them, The Asphalt Jungle (1950) from MGM and All About Eve (1950) from Fox. Even though both roles were basically not much mor than bit parts, movie fans remembered her ditzy but very sexy blonde performance.

In 1951, Marilyn got a fairly sizable role in Love Nest (1951). The public was now getting to know her and liked what it saw. She had an intoxicating quality of volcanic sexuality wrapped in an aura of almost childlike innocence. In 1952, Marilyn appeared in Don't Bother to Knock (1952), in which she played a somewhat mentally unbalanced babysitter. Critics didn't particularly care for her work in this picture, but she made a much more favorable impression later in the year in Monkey Business (1952), where she was seen for the first time as a platinum blonde, a look that became her trademark. The next year she appeared in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) as Lorelei Lee. It was also the same year she began dating the baseball great Joe DiMaggio.

Marilyn was now a genuine box-office drawing card. Later, she appeared with Betty Grable, Lauren Bacall and Rory Calhoun in How to Marry a Millionaire There's No Business Like Show Business (1954). That was quickly followed by The Seven Year Itch (1955), which showcased her considerable comedic talent and contained what is arguably one of the most memorable moments in cinema history: Marilyn standing above a subway grating and the wind from a passing subway blowing her white dress up.

By October of 1954, Marilyn announced her divorce from DiMaggio. The union lasted only eight months. In 1955 she was suspended by Fox for not reporting for work on How to Be Very, Very Popular (1955). It was her second suspension, the first being for not reporting for the production of The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing (1955). Both roles went to others. Her work was slowing down, due to her habit of being continually late to the set, her illnesses (whether real or imagined) and generally being unwilling to cooperate with her producers, directors, and fellow actors.

In Bus Stop (1956), however, Marilyn finally showed critics that she could play a straight dramatic role. It was also the same year she married playwright, Arthur Miller (they divorced in 1960). In 1957 Marilyn flew to Britain to film The Prince and the Showgirl (1957) which proved less than impressive critically and financially. It made money, but many critics panned it for being slow-moving. After a year off in 1958, Marilyn returned to the screen the next year for the delightful comedy, Some Like It Hot (1959) with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. The film was an absolute smash hit, with Curtis and Lemmon pretending to be females in an all-girl band, so they can get work. This was to be Marilyn's only film for the year.

In 1960 Marilyn appeared in George Cukor's Let's Make Love (1960), with Tony Randall and Yves Montand. Again, while it made money, it was critically panned as stodgy and slow-moving. The following year Marilyn made what was to be her final film. The Misfits (1961), which also proved to be the final film for the legendary Clark Gable, who died later that year of a heart attack. The film was popular with critics and the public alike.

In 1962 Marilyn was chosen to star in Fox's Something's Got to Give (1962). Again, her absenteeism caused delay after delay in production, resulting in her being fired from the production in June of that year. It looked as though her career was finished. Studios just didn't want to take a chance on her because it would cost them thousands of dollars in delays. She was only 36.

Marilyn made only 30 films in her lifetime, but her legendary status and mysticism will remain with film history forever. (1949), where she sang two numbers. Notices from the critics were favorable for her, if not the film, but Columbia dropped her. Once again Marilyn returned to modeling. In 1949 she appeared in United Artists' (1953). Although her co-stars got the rave reviews, it was the sight of Marilyn that really excited the audience, especially the male members. On January 14, 1954, Marilyn wed DiMaggio, then proceeded to film

Clara Bow
1905-1965

Clara Gordon Bow, destined to become THE flapper of the 1920's, was born and raised in poverty in Brooklyn, New York, on July 29, 1905. Her family was also beset with violence. Her mother tried to slit Clara's throat when she attempted to enter the film industry. She won a photo beauty contest which launched her movie career that would eventually number 58 films, from 1922 to 1933. It was the movie It (1927), which was to define her career. The film starred Clara as a shop girl who was asked out by the store's owner. As you watch the silent film you can see the excitement as she prepared for her date with the boss, her girlfriend trying hard to assist her. She was trying to use a pair of scissors to modify her dress in order to look more "sexy". This movie did a lot to change society's mores as there was only a few years between World War I and Clara Bow, but this movie went a long way in how society looked at itself. Clara was flaming youth in rebellion. In the film she was presenting a worldly wisdom that somehow sex meant having a good time. But you shouldn't be misled by the film, because she was still close to Lillian Gish in that when her boss tries to kiss her goodnight, she slaps him. Yes, she, too, was a good girl and a first cousin of Trueheart Susie. At the height of her popularity she received over 45,000 fan letters a month. She, too, was probably the most overworked and underpaid star in the industry. With the coming of sound, which did lend itself to her thick Brooklyn accent, her popularity waned. Clara was also involved in several court battles ranging from unpaid taxes to being in divorce court for "stealing" women's husbands. After the court trials, she made a couple of attempts to get back in the public eye. One was Call Her Savage (1932) in 1932. It was somewhat of a failure at the box office and her last was in 1933 in a film called Hoop-La (1933). She, then, married cowboy star, Rex Bell at the age of 26 and retired from the film world at the age of 28. She was a doting mother of her two sons and would do anything to please them. Haunted by a weight problem, and a mental imbalance, she never entered show business again. Clara was confined to a sanitarium from time to time and was not allowed access to her loving sons she adored very much. She died of a heart attack in West Los Angeles, on September 26, 1965. She was 60 years old. Today she is finding a renaissance among movie buffs, who are recently discovering the virtues of silent film. The actress who wanted so much to be like the wonderful young lady in It (1927) has the legacy of her films to confirm what a wonderful lady she really was. She, too, was America's first sex symbol.
