Michelle Monday

While I would normally advise against covering up Michelle Pfeiffer’s mesmerizing baby blues, there’s no denying she looked pretty rad in these sunglasses, which she wore as Elvira Hancock in Scarface (1983). Michelle looks positively delectable in this glamorous ensemble. If the white jacket/slit-skirt combo is the sundae, then the shades are the cherry on … Continue reading Michelle Monday →

Bombshells: Rita Gam

Pittsburgh-born actress Rita Gam (1927–2016) sure did have a great name for a Bombshell. A fitting one too, as she definitely had smoking hot gams on her. Where’s the lie? No where, that’s where! After a few years of modeling and television work, the statuesque beauty made her film debut in the 1952 film noir … Continue reading Bombshells: Rita Gam →

Hot Shots of the Week: The Helen Shaver Weekend

Sam Peckinpah’s swan song, The Osterman Weekend (1983) is largely considered a dud. It’s a shame the hard-living director of The Wild Bunch and Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia went out on such a forgettable note before dying of heart failure the following year. Despite a stellar cast—Rutger Hauer! Dennis Hopper! Craig T. … Continue reading Hot Shots of the Week: The Helen Shaver Weekend →

Michelle Monday

Grease 2 (1982) turned forty-three back on June 11. To celebrate (a little late, I know), here’s Michelle in all of her majestic resplendence as Stephanie Zinone, a character I just adore. Michelle’s charisma in in the role is off the charts! Guh! She so freakin’ dreamy.

Bombshells: Sheree North

American actress, dancer, and singer Sheree North (nè Dawn Shirley Crang; 1932–2005) was another in a long line of supposed successors to Marilyn Monroe. While she never scaled those heights, Sheree still had the qualifications—and the measurements—to make for one helluva blonde bombshell in her prime. She became a prolific television actor later on, but … Continue reading Bombshells: Sheree North →

Michelle Monday

I recently watched one of my top comfort movies again, Michelle Pfeiffer’s marvelous 1988 romantic crime comedy Married to the Mob. I long ago lost track of how many times I’ve watched it, but I watch it so frequently because it brings me complete joy. A friend of mine coined the term “find your joy” … Continue reading Michelle Monday →

Bombshells: Kathleen Hughes

It’s always sad to lose another classic Hollywood Bombshell, and last week we did just that, as the beautiful Kathleen Hughes passed away at 96 years old. That’s a good, long life, and she leaves behind an absolutely iconic image of herself, one that’s been used on everything from greetings cards to hummus ads. The … Continue reading Bombshells: Kathleen Hughes →
