her real-life hubby, Charles Bronson, would beg to differ.

I wonder what her first husband, David McCallum, who was buddies Charles Bronson would have to say.

 

[Bob Graham]

You can't talk about Joey Heatherton without mentioning Catherine O'Hara as Lola Heatherton.

I wonder what her first husband, David McCallum, who was buddies Charles Bronson would have to say.

It would be interesting to know how David McCallum felt about his ex-wife. Quite apart from the break-up of their marriage, there was the issue prior to their moving to Hollywood, that she had always grabbed the publicity although he was the actor working frequently with a strong career. When they were at London's main airport waiting for their plane, she was mobbed by photographers who ignored him although he was the reason they were flying out.

[Robin9]

Another good one! She really is a good-looking woman.

 

[Robert Crawford]

Another good one! She really is a good-looking woman.

She has some good qualities.

There's not nearly enough Jayne Mansfield in this thread . . .

. . . . which is puzzling as she is one of the quintessential blondes.

And there's, generally, enough of her to go around...

 

[Keith Cobby]

Too Hot to Handle - Jayne's best film.

Yes, I'll have to upload one of her "overflowing" photos in the next week or so!

Revisiting Veronica Lake and her peek-a-boo hair.

No peek-a-boo for the war effort. Veronica Lake in, So PROUDLY WE HAIL!-1943.

Remember the Veronica Lake peek-a-boo gag in THE MAJOR AND THE MINOR-1942 with Ray Milland and Ginger Rogers?

THE MAJOR AND THE MINOR would have seemed naughtier if petite Veronica had Ginger's part.

Lake and Milland in, I WANTED WINGS-1942:

Another view of Jayne Mansfield, this time in her more normal habitat:

 

[Mike Frezon]

Do you know what it says in the water behind her?

Looks like "I love ____________"

She looks a bit like Kate Upton in that shot.

 

[Robin9]

I watched Champion (1949) last night which co-stars Marilyn Maxwell.

She's not talked of much these days but in the late '40s and early '50s, she was a major glamour girl. She died far too young of a heart attack when in her early 50s.

 

[Jeff Flugel]

Good pics above, fellas! Here's another notable blonde beauty: Alexandra Bastedo, from ITC's The Champions.

 

[Robin9]

Oh yeah! I remember Alexandra Bastedo from my youth! A good-looking woman.

Carol Lynley ,1942-2019 Model, actress . She played the girlfriend to the hero in many TV pilots. She was a mom, too, and even got in on the 70s and 80s poster craze.

With Pamela Tiffin and Ann -Margaret in "The Pleasure Seekers".

 

[David_B_K]

Those pictures of Carol Lynley remind me that I'd love to see a Blu-ray of The Pleasure Seekers, in which Carol Lynley, Ann-Margaret and Pamela Tiffin find romance in early 1960's Spain. Gorgeous women and gorgeous scenery in a remake of Three Coins in the Fountain.

 

[Mike Frezon]

I'll join in on the Carol Lynley tribute.

I'm a longtime Glen Campbell fan and she made quite an impression on me in his film Norwood:
