  1. I was always a d'Arc gal myself... she was a sister who really cooked.

  2. I imagine Ms. Bennett’s coiffure being carefully constructed by the world’s greatest sculptors and curated and conserved by the finest museums but I can’t imagine her ever going to the bathroom.

    Ms. Plowright at her best is stoic and reserved gentility but I bet she and “Larry” used to get down and dirty and had matching wig stands on the night tables.

    Ms. Davis and Ms. Cusack actually occupy the same space but different time. Ms. Cusack is my favorite and her “Addams Family” portrayal of Debbie Jellinsky with her Malibu Barbie blonde bob.

    It would have to be Ms. Joan Crawfish as the ultimate Joan and all of her movies starring her hairdo’s.

  3. While the end of the Olivier-Leigh marriage was sad, I kind of find it refreshing that he went from the shall we say slightly highstrung Vivien to just about the un-craziest woman on the planet. And you know that they went at it like bunnies, whenever he could get his mind off Danny Kaye.
