Propaganda

Zizi Jeanmaire (Anything Goes, Hans Christian Andersen)—She was typecast as "sexy french ballerina for the male leads to get flustered over" in a few Hollywood films and she always did it masterfully, probably because she really was a sexy french ballerina. She just always brings it, she's so fun and flirty and I love her so much. Unfortunately her best Anything Goes numbers aren't on youtube, so I submit this ballet number from Hans Christian Andersen instead: [link]

Pearl Bailey (Carmen Jones, St. Louis Blues, Porgy and Bess)—vintage crush of all time, the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, and my GOD the PIPES! She wasn't in nearly enough movies, but every time I see her I'm aghast all over with what a gorgeous woman she was. Vote Pearl for diva glamor like no one else! (also....she was on the Muppet Show!)

This is round 1 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

Pearl Bailey propaganda:

"Pearl Bailey was an absolute POWERHOUSE! She's best known for her career in music and theater (she's a DIVINE singer, and very funny). But she also did several feature films, including a controversial adaptation of Porgy and Bess (controversial because of the story; the actors were pretty much coerced into it). She's got a style all her own, you can recognize it from a mile away. She's got you chuckling and crying from one phrase to the next. I love her <3"

"Cheekbones to die for"

I'm becoming addicted to slightly shabby old Hollywood musicals and Anything Goes (1956) in particular really tickles me. Just look at them!!! I think they're so fun :)
