You said it!!!She really was, wasn't she, a fantasticly beautiful woman?! I miss her and the other's of her time. Susan Hayward is another with a low sexy voice. Loretta Young, so many beautiful talented girls. Mostly gone now.

"She really was, wasn't she, a fantasticly beautiful woman?!"

Sometime in the nineties, we rented "They Came To Cordura". I had not seen a Rita Hayworth movie since, oh, probably the fifties. That is, for about 35-40 years. My wife, who was born in 1948, barely recalled her -- more by reputation than anything else.

But, when Rita made her first appearance in that movie, my jaw dropped and my wife gasped. My Gawd, she was a fantastic looker, wasn't she? I'm convinced the term "drop dead gorgeous" was coined for her.

Speaking of such things, I'm probably of the same generation as Nicholas Stix. And Rita Hayworth's Latin blood was very well known and a recognized part of her mystique -- even to us rubes in the outback of Oklahoma.

"...so many beautiful girls. Mostly gone now."

Rita Hayworth, Loretta Young, Linda Darnell, Gene Tierney, Betty Grable, Ava Gardner, Susan Hayward, Marilyn Monroe, Ingrid Bergman, Grace Kelly, Vivien Leigh, Lana Turner, the list goes on and on. You would be hard pressed to find someone today as beautiful and talented as these ladies.

Who do we have today?

Julia Roberts, Susan Sarandon, Meryl Streep, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jodie Foster.
