Carole Lombard's beautifully haunting Life magazine cover, that I am honored to have in my personal magazine collection.
A woman whom I consider to be one of the most beautiful to ever grace the screen, the magnificent Gene Tierney.

Lovely tribute, Lara. My favorite pic of Dietrich has always been the one with her hair screening her face and her legs as the focus. I know it doesn’t show her beautiful face, but I can see it as if it did. I just watched her in Witness for the Prosecution the other day — that had to be one of her best performances. Happy birthday, Ms. Dietrich!
Very particular selection of photos, including a couple of different “looks”! Thanks!
