As for MM - I love her clothes in 'Niagara' and 'All about Eve' (even though it's just a small part). Check out my entry on Salvadore Ferragamo who designed shoes for both actresses:<br />http://timelessfashionandbeauty.blogspot.com/2009/09/salvatore-ferragamo-creativity-in.htmlTimeless Fashion...https://www.blogger.com/profile/17932197880854401574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-43526510906299435002009-09-10T15:33:14.476-04:002009-09-10T15:33:14.476-04:00What a great post, and I love the choices you list...What a great post, and I love the choices you listed, especially Kay Francis. Even in Cocoanuts, she looked so cool and fashionable in the midst of the Marx Bros' hijinks. <br /><br />Someone above mentioned THE WOMEN, which came to mind first when you asked for style icons. <br /><br />Stany's clothes in THE LADY EVE are wonderful, IMO. <br /><br />Teppi Hedren wears two outfits in THE BIRDS, and I'd like to own both. <br /><br />On a different note---When I was in college, URBAN COWBOY hit the theatres. The movie had a huge influence on fashion for a while. Cowboy boots and the western look were all the rage. Not my cuppa, but that's the way it was.<br /><br />Have a great day, everyone!CagneyFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12528836819712630455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-38553779195806400912009-09-10T12:36:09.078-04:002009-09-10T12:36:09.078-04:00I agree with all of these, but I am especially hap...I agree with all of these, but I am especially happy to see Kay Francis on the list.

I had to write to you when I saw that they are showing a Dirk Bogarde film called "The Servant", 1963 - I took one look at the photo from the brochure and I think I need to see it!

My heart aches for those clothes. Isn't Carole Lombard with her slender figure and clothes a fashion icon of the 1930's?

I just love How to Steal a Million and I think Doris Day is overlooked far too much, these days!<br />Besides what you've mentioned, I'd probably include Jayne Mansfield, because her look was so extreme - I guess not many people really wanted to look like her but there's just something about her I love. I'd definitely include something with Molly Ringwald - probably Pretty in Pink because both her style and Jon Cryer's is magnificent. Um...gosh, there are so many!<br />-Andi xAndi B.

She was one of the first women in Hollywood, who had curves and she was never a size 0. She was the epitome of real beauty(with curves I means) and it's a real shame, she isn't as well remembered for her fashion as Audrey is.
