It's Diva Season!
What a marvelous collection. Ms. Ross looks like she about to have a diva fit! And who would blame her. So many beauties here. Chaka, Pearl (stunning), Simone and the incomparable Miss Sarah. But the winner here is Gloria. That woman must have had some patience... because all her looks from those early days? That's a lot of work.
ReplyDeleteMiss Ross is renowned for her "diva strops"! And yes, Miss Swanson was uniquely beautiful and photogenic - a living Art Deco artwork, indeed! Jx
DeleteShe was funny, too, people don't mention how funny she is as Norma. I didn't know she started out as a comedy actress at Mack Sennett but it makes sense. No Diana Ross does not look happy.
DeleteI never really thought of Sunset Boulevard as being a bundle of laughs... Jx
Deleteoh my, such wonderful talented women here!
ReplyDeleteA parade of greats! Jx
