"She helped define femininity for her generation with her chic manner" - A. Scott Berg
Ah, Claudette Colbert...
...not bad for 120!
Claudette Colbert (born Émilie Claudette Chauchoin, 13th September 1903 – 30th July 1996)
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."
Adorable and adored
