Judy Garland's too-adorable-for-words hands 🥰👋❤️‍🔥

[nantynova]

« Everyone who worked with Judy respected her talent, and most everyone, including Freddie [Finklehoffe], was a little in love with her. Judy could memorize a script in one read, dance after simply watching the choreography, and perform in front of the camera in one take. In those years her coworkers were in awe. »

(Sid Luft, Judy and I).

Robert Stack and Elizabeth Taylor, circa 1950.

Darwin Porter on Elizabeth Taylor:

"When she went over to Robert Stack's house, she found JFK swimming nude in the pool and one thing led to another. The affair ended up in the bedroom—the three of them."

Sylvia Kristel, one of the most beautiful women who ever lived. She would take the crown of IT Girl from Clara Bow.

Beautiful Tom Drake. I fell in love with him when I was 12. Sadly I've read he was closeted and not necessarily able to live the full life he deserved.
