Timinator and Julio – love your comments :-)
Being a woman (and a petite, curvy one at that), I enjoyed this article very much. Do I have anything against thin women? Absolutely not!! All women are beautiful. We all have our own unique and beautiful bodies!!
I appreciate the fact that there are men (my amazing husband being one of them), who love a womanly, curvy woman.
And that there are men who love a lean, thinner woman. To each his own.
There is so much pressure on girls and women to be PERFECT (whether it be thinner, curvier, bigger this, smaller that, etc.), and that’s the real issue.
There is almost no encouragement for women to love who they are – their bodies, their minds, their class, their style. And that is sad.
Were the bombshells the article talks about better or perfect? Of course not. We are all only human.
I think what the article was trying to express was the lack of taste and class. The lack in today’s society of accepting a woman for HER body, curvy or not.

And there again, we are ALL entitled to our own opinions :-D

I for one LOVED this article! I kind of accidently stumbled across this page, and found it soo refreshing!
As a young woman, it is hard to find role models more like Christina Hendricks (Joan Halloway- AMC’s “Mad Men”) in a world where Nicole Richie and Anna Lyn Mccord (sp?) are the ‘epitome’ of the female form.

The men from the 30′s and 40′s were classy as well, and knew how to treat others. I don’t think you would catch John Wayne sucker punching someone or shouting crude remarks out of a car window. Hopefully the media will follow “Mad Men”‘s lead and do a little throw back in time, to when men were men and women were women!

This article is by no means against the women of today, it is refreshing! Love it! xoxo

Ingrid Bergmann. Totally agree with Grace Kelly. She is stunning, and the precise way she talks seems to ooze sophistication.

I _am_ your grandpa, and I never saw a thing I liked about Audrey Hepburn. They’re all right here about Bettie Page, though, and Ava Gardner may be the most beautiful woman who ever lived. And Hedy Lamar (_not_ Hedley!) was a technogeek’s dream girl. But who could ever forget Janet Leigh, especially in those peek-a-boo silk pajamas she wore for John Wayne in _Jet Pilot_?

Loved this article – the women of the ’40s and ’50s had it going on back in the day! Especially liked Grandma at the end of the list.

While I was glad to see Grace Kelly, Rita Hayworth, and of course, Marilyn, why no mention of Bettie Page, Ava Gardner, or Ursula Andress? The omission of Audrey Hepburn also rankles.
