Dance, Dorothy, Dance!



No one does a better 1950s Hot Mess on the screen as Dorothy Malone in Inherit the Wind.

I have a love-hate thing with Dorothy.  I love her, I hate the makeup that they used on her.  Her eyebrows were too dark for her hair color, and her hair was the wrong color for her skin tones.

As her career went on and they cut back on the brassy look, lightened her hair, and gave her a softer look, she took on a whole new look.

    1. Yup. But in its day, she was the girl they loved to hate.

  5. She almost looks like she should be rubbing up against a tree or something. Or perhaps her bum is eating her knickers?
    Anyway, happy New Year, Cookie!
