Propaganda

Claudine Auger (Thunderball)— Thunderball is the first James Bond movie I ever remember watching and actually paying attention to, and it's all because of Claudine Auger as Domino in all her sexy black and white swimwear, AND [spoilers below the cut—]

Rita Moreno (Singin' in the Rain, West Side Story)—She’s an EGOT, an absolute legend for how she navigated her career as a woman of color in the fifties and sixties. Her performance as Anita in West Side Story is why I go back to that movie so many times. She is an icon and she is the moment.

Claudine Auger:

—the fact that she got to kill the villain.

Rita Moreno propaganda:

"Amazing showstopping actress in her one big memorable role as Anita in West Side Story. She sings and dances with unmatched joy and energy, and then breaks your heart with her acting. Rita took a role that felt as a stereotype to latina women and made it compelling and multifaceted. Her subsequent career was filled with mostly side roles, but she still managed to excel in whatever Hollywood threw at her."

"It’s Rita!! The EGOT herself! She can act, she can sing, she can dance, a triple threat. Obviously absolutely iconic as Anita in West Side Story (her part of the Tonight Quintet is the sexiest part of the film, fight me). But before that she was the amazing Zelda in Singin’ In the Rain!?! Thanks Zelda, you’re a real pal."

"She continues to be amazing but also she's got legs for days."

"THEE iconic rita moreno, EGOT winner, civil rights activist, theatre legend. watch her documentary "Rita Moreno: Just a Girl Who Decided to Go for It". also her rendition of "fever" on the muppet show"

Propaganda

Pouri Banayi (Qeysar, The Mandrake)—Pouri Banayi starred in over 85 films during her career, starting before the Iranian Revolution. She acted in many dramatic films and crime dramas and was a popular star in her era. She worked with many different directors, even taking some roles with international directors. She, notably, appeared in Qeysar (1969), which is considered an important film in Iranian cinema for inspiring the noir genre to grow in the country. After the revolution, many of the pre-revolution films of Iran were deemed "immoral" for depictions of violence and romance by the Islamic Republic, who took a very hard stance on much of Iranian cinema being "sinful." Many of these pre-revolution films were banned and remain today without restorations or translations to other languages. Despite Pouri Banayi not starring in any movies after the revolution, her contribution to the new wave of Iranian cinema and onscreen presence is worth remembering.
