Many happy returns to the beautiful model-turned actress Barbara Bain, star of Mission Impossible and Space: 1999, who blows out 90 candles on her cake today...
Barbara Bain (born Mildred Fogel, 13th September 1931)
CAMP: "A cornucopia of frivolity, incongruity, theatricality, and humour." "A deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavored, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love." "The lie that tells the truth." "Ostentatious, exaggerated, affected, theatrical; effeminate or homosexual; pertaining to or characteristic of homosexuals."
Hard to believe. Her eyes and her hair... her mouth which always looked as though it was holding a secret. And that smoky voice... sigh. A true classic.
ReplyDeleteShe always was supremely photogenic. Jx
DeleteI always love Barbara Bain, and watched her on Space 1999 just to see her. And felt bad she was stuck on such a bore of a show.
ReplyDeleteI can remember it being on telly. but I can't remember anything about it except the bulging crotches of the male crew in those tight uniforms...
DeleteFunny, that. Jx
OMG flawless!
ReplyDeleteI've watched old episodes of Mission: Impossible on Pluto. So much fun!
She gives me Debbie Harry vibes, too. I swear I thought you were posting Debbie at the MET.
XOXO

They do share a similar look - beauty's all about the cheekbones... Jx
