Margaret Ann “Peggy” Knudsen (1923–1980) was a Minnesota girl who first ventured to Broadway and then across country for a Hollywood movie career. While she had small and bit parts in several big films, like A Stolen Life and The Big Sleep, Peggy largely carved out a career in B movies, where her midwestern beauty … Continue reading Bombshells: Peggy Knudsen
Nicole ‘95
In which we remember Nicole Kidman’s white hot ascension in 1995.

Bombshells: Allison Hayes

The auburn-haired smokeshow was intensely … Continue reading Bombshells: Allison Hayes
