Two ladies

Today would have been ninetieth birthday celebrations of two greats of the classic era of Hollywood, one who lived to the ripe old age of 90 - Miss Jane Russell (who I have blogged about several times before)...



...and one who, with her "ditzy blonde" ingenue personality and photogenic good looks, probably could have been every bit the star her contemporaries such as Betty Hutton and Doris Day became, had she not been taken away from us too soon. Miss Judy Holliday died of cancer in 1965, aged just 42.



So as a little tribute to the fabulous Miss Holliday, here's a great audio-clip from her appearance on Tallulah Bankhead's radio show:

Two great ladies, dearly remembered.
