hai teri yaad is dil se lipti hui

har ghadi hai tassavur tere husn ka

teri ulfat ka pehra laga hai sanam

kaun aayega mere khayalat mein

Vyjayanthimala in Amrapali is a vision

she is adorned with the most exquisite jewels. precious metals like gold sit on her slim neck, challenging the celestial nymphs in beauty, mind & valor. the curves of her waist could put even the greatest wonders to shame. she’s draped in colors of the moon, womanhood & sandalwood. she moves like the waves, effortlessly bleeding from one moment into another with such ease. when she folds her hands to pay her respect to the deities, passion whirls within their heart when they shower her with their blessings. she dances with the wind, being one with the elements. when she unfurls her fingers into mudras they bloom like flowers in their waking. she is divine, this woman when she speaks. oh she’s the right balance of fervour and sweet. now bow before her, with your waist bending and your head grazing the dust she’s walked upon. o fool! bask in her glory, she’s the one, the only one.

Look at them. I would die for them. I would kill for them. Either way, what a bliss ~

Gloria Swanson (Don't Change Your Husband, Queen Kelly, Sadie Thompson, Sunset Boulevard)—the absolute BALLS this woman had! an icon of the 1920s, her career had simmered down, decent living in radio, deciding you know what? you know what i'll do? I'll star as the haggard old aging decrepit horror icon in Sunset Boulevard, that's what I'll do. Nobody else in Hollywood would take the part (every other actress didn't want to be framed as a has-been)—gloria said, fuck that, I'll eat this role alive and serve cunt the whole time. she was still so gorgeous when they made Sunset Boulevard they had to intentionally make her up/costume her to make her look older than she was. mad respect for the screen legend who says yeah, i am a screen legend, i was always that bitch and here I am again to prove it

Gloria Swanson:

She was THE idea of a 1920s sex comedy star, and was a hot (and totally unhinged) older woman in Sunset Boulevard. Hot as a young woman and as an older woman? Yes plz

I feel like she would slay in alternative fashion

her performance as Norma Desmond in sunset boulevard makes me insane. I love her

कोई दुश्मन था ये मन मेरा

koi dushman tha yeh man mera

बन गया मीत जा के तेरा

ban gaya meet jaake tera

कोरा कागज़ था ये मन मेरा

kora kagaz tha yeh man mera

लिख लिया नाम इसपे तेरा

likh liya naam ispe tera

my heart was like an enemy,it became a friend to you.my heart was like a blank paper,i wrote your name on it

- kora kagaz,aradhana
