yeah. i think i could be happy in that place… ;)
Great place! No wonder she struggled only briefly and yielded pretty fast… I would too! ;)
hahaha Yeah – it’s one of THOSE situations.
“No! No! NO! oh … oh … okay … okay …”
Preminger was a bastard to her (I’m sure you know more about it than I do!!) – but I think she gave a nice simple dramatic performance in this movie, despite being terrified of him.
Speaking of our girl, Ceci, have you heard about this?
Let me know if you don’t have a subscription and I can email it to you, or cut and paste it for you.
The bend and angle of her leg there …..
Thanks for the link, Sheila! I had no problems opening it.
Yes, I had heard about this exhibition because… hmmm… I happen to be a member of a mailing list from France (my craziness about Marilyn spans the nations, hahaha) and several of its Parisian members have posted information and pics about this exhibit. Needless to say, I would KILL to be there!! :)
I have Bert Stern’s “Complete Last Sitting”, with the 2,000+ photos he took of our girl, but sadly many of them are pretty small. It would be a blast to see bigger-sized versions of this beloved photo session.
