1: favorite old hollywood actor I know its a typical answer for old hollywood fans but mine truely is Cary Grant. He just embodies what the golden era of hollywood was all about.

5: most overrated old hollywood actor/actress - Definitely Marilyn Monroe. Now i say this but i need to explain. I think she is overrated in popular media. Now I love her acting and think she was a great beauty and a wonderful actress but i hate how people act like they love her and they have never seen any of her movies. Like my old roommate had posters of her and once I asked her what was her fav marilyn movie and her respond was “I’ve never seen any, i just like her as a person”…..

7: most handsome old hollywood actor Well i assume yall can guess this answer due to the first answered question. but I will give you my top 5. in order: Cary Grant, Gene Kelly, Rock Hudson, Montgomery Clift ,and Frank Sinatra

6,8, and 9 (:

6: most beautiful old hollywood actress - Oh no question, the answer is hands down Elizabeth Taylor. Her beauty could not and still cant be matched.

8: best old hollywood name - Okay well my favorite name from old hollywood would be “kay” short for katharine. I think it is really cute and am considering it for my future daughters name.

9: if you could bring someone back to life, who? this is a tough one. I have a long list. but number one i think would be lucille ball. i just love her humor so much. the world needs laughter now more than ever.

“As a tap dancer, I’m always asked to choose between Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. I HATE that. If they knew anything about dance they would realize they’re asking an impossible question, as their styles couldn’t be more different. “Pineapples and pomegranates”, I always reply.”

Elizabeth Taylor owned some of the world’s most magnificent jewelry, including the 33-carat “Krupp Diamond”, the Duchess of Windsor diamond brooch, the Grand Duchess of Russia emeralds, and the famous pear-shaped 69-carat “Burton-Cartier Diamond” Burton gave her in 1969 (subsequently renamed the “Burton-Taylor Diamond.”).

At the funeral for Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall put a whistle in his coffin. It was a reference to the famous line she says to him in their first film together To Have and Have Not (1944): “You know how to whistle, don’t you? You just put your lips together and blow.”.

Just before her relationship with Clark Gable began in earnest, Carole Lombard read and loved the book “Gone With the Wind”. Excited, she sent a copy of the book to Gable, with a note attached reading “Let’s do it!”. Gable wrongly assumed she was making a sexual advance to him, and called Carole to organize a date.

My Reaction to "Liz&Dick"

Sun, 25 Nov 2012 23:08:30 -0500

Overall, It was well done. But I still don’t like Lindsay as Elizabeth. They made her look somewhat like her but Elizabeth’s beauty is just unmatched. And since Lindsay has such a distinct voice which she didn’t disguise, it shattered the already shaky illusion. I wish they got a better actress instead of making this movie a vehicle for Lindsay’s “Return”!

The only thing they got perfectly is Liz’s drinking problem. Those scenes were definitely convincing.
