I've been watching the television series UFO (superb blu ray set from Network). Wanda Ventham has a similarity to Honor Blackman.

Don't recognize the actress, Thomas, but she's a cutie for sure!

Sue Lyon of Lolita and Night Of The Iguana fame. This is a screen grab from an episode of Love American Style circa 1969.

Just bought Lolita- never saw it before. Anxious to watch it.

Considering how tied Kubrick's hands were due to the censorship restrictions of the era, it's a remarkable film. One of my top 5 Kubricks (not that you asked but the other 4 are 2001: A Space Odyssey, Barry Lyndon, The Killing and Spartacus).

 

[Jeffrey D]

My favorite Kubrick is Clockwork Orange- I love how the classical pieces are blended in with the story.

Whoa! I know Sue Lyon, but didn't recognize her in that photo. Thanks for the clarification.

She's more recognizable here:

I haven't watched Lolita for ages so I might do so tonight. I did re-watch Tony Rome recently and Sue Lyon was in that movie too.

I'm glad that Sue Lyon has not been forgotten.

In my adolescence I had a great fondness for the teen blondes. My favorites were Sandra Dee, Tuesday Weld, Carol Lynley, Yvette Mimieux and of course, Sue Lyon.

I watched Crossfire yesterday and was reminded that the little seen and little known Jacqueline White was a sympathetic screen presence.

If the IMDB is to be believed Jacqueline White had small roles in Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo and The Harvey Girls, both of which are in my collection, but I really know her only from Crossfire and The Narrow Margin, two films I watch regularly. In The Narrow Margin her sympathetic persona was crucial to making the revelation at the end a surprise.

At a ripe 98 years of age, Jacqueline White is still with us!

My Favorite SI swimsuit model.

 

[Jeffrey D]

Yes she’s very pretty. Billy Joel was/is a lucky man.

I never thought she was particularly pretty. Her greatest asset was her body.

These photos reminded me of someone else and I've been racking my brain to remember who that was. It's just dawned on me and on checking, the resemblance is only slight but it's an actress who deserves a citation in a thread about blondes.

Grace Lee Whitney never became a big name and I know her mainly from two small roles she played in Billy Wilder movies. She had a "homely" face, elegant legs and a good figure.

I believe she today is most remembered for having been in Star Trek but she started her career as a singer. She won a part in the 1951 Broadway show Top Banana which had a score by Johnny Mercer. The making of the film version brought her to Hollywood.

According to the IMDB Grace Lee Whitney was in The Naked And The Dead. Barbara Nichols is the only blonde I remember from that film, so I'll have another viewing of the Blu-ray disc in the next few days.

Yes, a worthy addition to this thread.

"Homely" face? I think she's quite pretty. Did you mean "comely"?

It’s a shame there wasn’t more of her on the original series of Star Trek.

She was amazing!

Grace Lee Whitney was certainly comely; but I chose homely because I meant her face, although not beautiful, was very likable and would make a man feel comfortable.

Yup, and I continue to marvel and how she defies age in terms of beauty. No woman on earth should look this good in their mid 60's.
