My Top 5 Girls of the 50's

(Not in any particular order)

1. Bettie Page


Bettie Page was famous in the 1950s for her pin up photos. Her trademark black locks and cute bangs can be worn even today, which is why she is in my top 5.

 

2. Marilyn Monroe


Marilyn Monroe was an actress, singer and model. She is known for her bleach blonde hair and red lips. What I like best about Marilyn is her breathy singing voice AND her perfect figure - not too skinny like today's models.


3. Elizabeth Taylor


Liz Taylor was an actress and it is widely known that she married 7 men, one of them twice. My favourite thing about this doll is her violet eyes!


4. Diana Dors


Mighty beautiful, this one! She was originally Diana Fluck, but you can kind of guess the reason behind her name change... and she was an English actress. She was kind of Marilyn Monroe's English equivalent. But she shouldn't really be compared to Marilyn, as they were completely different! I just love everything about her... she is amazingly gorgeous. She also starred in Adam Ant's Prince Charming music video (1981).


5. Jayne Mansfield


Jayne was an American actress in film, TV and theatre. She was also a singer, nightclub entertainer, model and one of the first Playboy Playmates! She packed in quite a lot in her short life, including many publicity stunts. She died in a car accident at the young age of 34. 20th Century Fox tried to palm her off as their version of Marilyn Monroe, but again, comparing two of Hollywood's glamour girls isn't really possible. She also became the first American actress to have a nude role in a Hollywood movie in 1963's Promises! Promises!
