Yes, 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. ;)
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…

I 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.
What an eclectic mix! I love it. I might have to steal this idea… with full and proper attribution of course. :)
I would love to see the faces you choose, curly!
What an interesting look on Mr. Joyce’s face. Is that compassion, world-weariness, or something else entirely?
Bryan – I know, it’s such an intriguing picture to me.
And Nora’s eyes – there’s something very knowing there.
And his dressing gown … the whole picture is just fascinating to me.
No 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.

so so true.

Bryan – ha, right – or they’re hungover.
Love that Belushi picture. He’s one of those that can put me in a better mood just by a picture…
Tommy – 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!!)
may I ask – who is the third from the top? that’s a face I’d drink straight whiskey with!
Anna Magnani! I think she’s one of the most beautiful women in the world. Elia Kazan said she was the “female Marlon Brando”.
Elizabeth 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.
Reminder of my comment policy.
Thanks, all!

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.

Great 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.
You know, I can see Margaret Atwood as Elizabeht I.
Elizabeth. (twitch)
Is that Cate Blanchett’s Elizabeth or Helen Mirren’s Elizabeth?
