Hmmm... for a 35-page thread that is a tribute to blondes there are entirely too few pictures of Naomi Watts!

 

[Mike Frezon]

Naomi Watts is beautiful.

Last night at the Oscars. Wow.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Good call, Brian!

And just to add some perspective to her physical size...

That guy must be a giant!

She is well past her prime

Don't be a hater, Jim!

The best thing to do is always to post some pix of a fave of your own. The more, the merrier!

She's come a long way from "The Shook-Up Shopping Cart".

She is well past her prime

Well since I am nearing 50 myself the only prime I am concerned with is Amazon.

However, we can all appreciate the past, thus here's some promo shots circa 2004 for I ♥ Huckabees.

Someone also needs to get a hi-res screencap of this shot from Mullholland Drive of Watts as an homage to the classic Hitchcock blonde heroine since this is the best that can be found on the Internets.

She's come a long way from "The Shook-Up Shopping Cart".

She certainly has!

Although in that above shot she could easily be mistaken for Amy Adams.

A classic blond from my baby boomer youth. I hope Ms. Bowker is doing well.

I don't know Judi Bowker, but she reminds me of Deborah Ann Woll.

Two '50s blondes who deserve to be remembered are Mamie Van Doren and Lori Nelson. They were both at Universal who gave them little chance to do anything worthwhile but nevertheless they managed to survive. They made one film together, Untamed Youth, an early "young women exploited in prison" movie.

I repeat: they deserve to be remembered.

Just thought I'd mention that the great podcast "You Must Remember This", has wrapped up a great series on "Dead Blondes", Hollywood blondes who came to tragic ends. This includes the "usual suspects" such as Monroe and Harlow, but also includes some relatively forgotten ones such as Barbara Loden and Barbara Payton. Each episode is about 50 minutes long, is meticulously researched and contains fascinating anecdotes.

Thanks for that link. I will listen at some point in the next few days.

A 1940's blonde who, it seems to me, is in danger of being forgotten is Veronica Lake. One or two of her films have appeared on Blu-ray disc but not many. She was a very attractive woman, as this photo shows.

Grapefruit Moon Gallery, an Ebay seller specialising in photos of film stars and nude models, has this picture of a young Stella Stevens on offer. I've removed a lot of dirt, and the result is a good reminder of how attractive and sexy Stella Stevens was when she first arrived in Hollywood.

Nice find, Robin!

I watched Topper for the first time this past weekend. I'm only 80 years too late, but I think I've fallen in love with Constance Bennett:
