Well, I’m 70, and I remember all of them (and more), with great fondness. One of the most beautiful women I ever saw on film was Greta Garbo. One of my favorites, in a pixie-ish sort of way, was Claudette Colbert.
Greta Garbo...Claudette Colbert...Rosalind Russell...Marlene Dietrich...Fay Wray (1933 - Best King Kong)...Angela Lansbury (1940’s)...Lucille Ball (1930’s)...Katherine Hepburn...Barbara Stanwyck (1930’s)...Etc...Etc...Etc...
If I hadn’t junked my VHS player many years ago, I could re-watch some of the dozens of VHS tapes I purchased through TCM...
During the 1990’s, the only things I collected more valuable than those vids were ammo & guns...
