Yep and YES - any pics Bring them along When I was a teenager I lived in a B&B - my walls were plastered with posters of Marilyn & Jimmy - they were my idols and still are really

There ya go

I love that story

Brunette >>> bright silver at early age runs on my mum's side. I've been dyeing it back to brunette/reddish for years but growing it out now. I've just passed the badger stripe look and trying to resist the urge to dye it all again

I used to like having hair that went against my natural colouring - I was walking past Olympia one day when some cab driver yelled out asking if I had a "snatch to match the hatch" (when my hair was pink) - when I yelled some abuse back in a deep voice he was a bit surprised and roared off

There ya go

God - is that real or made up? I hope it's real.

Soz I think it's made-up. Cool image though, like the other one.

The most beautiful woman.

She's not all that tbh.
I mean sure she's obviously an attractive woman, but she never remotely rocked my world I'm afraid.

Indeed. Who was the actress - Jean Harlow? Be-headed in a car accident?

Jane Mansfield?

Here's one of my favourite pics of Marilyn, it usually gets cropped to just her face but I love the long shot with the bloke catching sight of her.

Mansfield died in a car accident, although she wasn't decapitated.

I had a thing for Maz when I was a teenager.

Apropos cars and girls Thelma Todd:

http://www.findadeath.com/ is great for Hollywood stories of years gone by.

I love the George Barris collection, taken in 1962. I think it was her last ever photo shoot.

This one in particular is a favourite of mine:

Somewhat unrelated.....
The only person, male or female, who ever
looked good in leather trousers.

I feel very sad about her but also mesmerised like everyone else.

I think the most beautiful woman ever, probably. And im a hetersexual woman!! Kate Moss has that kind of magic today

If you want to see how good she was as an actress, check out a film she did called Let's Make Love. The film itself is a dud and a stinker - but in spite of that, she's still very good in it.
