What an eclectic mix! I love it. I might have to steal this idea... with full and proper attribution of course. :)
Posted by: curly mcdimple at October 9, 2006 10:30 AMI would love to see the faces you choose, curly!
Posted by: red at October 9, 2006 10:44 AMWhat an interesting look on Mr. Joyce's face. Is that compassion, world-weariness, or something else entirely?
Posted by: Bryan at October 9, 2006 11:03 AMBryan - I know, it's such an intriguing picture to me.
Posted by: red at October 9, 2006 11:09 AMAnd Nora's eyes - there's something very knowing there.
And his dressing gown ... the whole picture is just fascinating to me.
Posted by: red at October 9, 2006 11:09 AMNo matter what Chris Cooper does the rest of his life, he will always be July Johnson (from Lonesome Dove) to me. He has the perfect "Western" face.
Posted by: Lisa at October 9, 2006 11:17 AMYes, the dressing gown... He was photographed in that more than once, I think.
Of course, for all that we're trying to read into their expressions, they might very well be wondering if the photographer would lend them twenty quid.
Btw, I just now read your response to my comment about Mr. McIntosh. The feeling's mutual. ;)
Bryan - ha, right - or they're hungover.
Posted by: red at October 9, 2006 11:20 AMLove that Belushi picture. He's one of those that can put me in a better mood just by a picture...
Posted by: Tommy at October 9, 2006 11:47 AMTommy - hahahaha I know - I was torn between this picture and one I found of him as the samurai (which - just makes me laugh just thinking about it!!)
Posted by: red at October 9, 2006 11:49 AMmay I ask - who is the third from the top? that's a face I'd drink straight whiskey with!
Posted by: "dave" at October 9, 2006 12:48 PMAnna Magnani! I think she's one of the most beautiful women in the world. Elia Kazan said she was the "female Marlon Brando".
Posted by: red at October 9, 2006 12:49 PMElizabeth was such a GREAT movie. I love that photo! You can just see the years of pain, love, and decisions in this lines on her face.
Great pics Sheila.
Margaret Atwood and Lauren Hutton absolutely.
Margaret Atwood lives right around the corner from my my friend Matt in Toronto, whenever I visit I always suggest "Lets go for a walk" -slowly by her house- in hopes she somehow needs just to get breath of fresh air.
I think I secretly just want to catch ol' Marg in pair of grey sweat pants and a oversize t-shirt with a kitten on it...
I try so hard not to stare when we walk by but it's Margaret Atwood!!!!!
Thanks for the Pic's Shiela, I love these types of entries...
~Leslie
Leslie - hahahaha with the image of her in a kitten t-shirt!!
Even as an older woman she has a beautifully impish youthful face - but I just LOVE her looks from the 1970s - just stunning.
Not to mention her writing - but this is just about her FACE. :)
Glad you enjoyed.
Posted by: red at October 10, 2006 1:52 PMI can't believe I didn't see this before; guess I didn't page down far enough. Weird because I just did this today, too. But not as extensive as yours. And I'm sure at least three of the pics I posted came from your blog.
Anyway, your choices are stunning. I love the Dog Day afternoon shot. And Cagney. And Belushi. Uh... Okay, I'll just stop now.
Posted by: Missy at October 10, 2006 4:18 PMGreat pix. I never noticed this before, but Cate Blanchett and Margaret Atwood look like they could be related.
I think they're both drop-dead gorgeous, BTW.
Posted by: Rozanne at October 10, 2006 7:13 PMYou know, I can see Margaret Atwood as Elizabeht I.
Posted by: Missy at October 11, 2006 10:21 AMElizabeth. (twitch)
Posted by: Missy at October 11, 2006 10:21 AMIs that Cate Blanchett's Elizabeth or Helen Mirren's Elizabeth?
