Well I glad that SOMEBODY finally explained that.
Back when I was a kid in the late '50s and early '60s, I can remember not understanding what all the fuss about Julie Newmar was about. (Of course, I figured it out a few years later.) But that reminds me, I was watching an old movie last night with Marlene Dietrich. And I still can't figure out why she was such a box office star. Sheeeeeesh, she sang a half-dozen songs or so, and her voice is HORRIBLE.
I'm glad someone else noticed that.
I never could figure out the appeal of Greta Garbo, either.
