I hope you have a wonderful days filled with raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens. See how seamlessly I managed to fit a TSoM reference into that sentence? Even though it technically had nothing to do with Eleanor...
ANYWAY, it's time for me to rustle up one of my 6 Reasons posts. I haven't done one of these since Deborah's birthday last year because none of my most favourite favouritest favourites have had any birthdays since then (except Glynis, but shhhhh she musn't find out!). In no particular order...
Reason #1 - Her smile
Reason #2 - The Baroness Schraeder Giggle
Reason #3 - Her chameleon-like ability in films
Check out Lizzie (1957) if you want to see her showcase her ability to morph from a mousy museum office worker Elizabeth into the more than slightly crazy Lizzie.
Reason #4 - Her voice
Reason #5 - Scaramouche
It should start at 5:10, one of my favourite parts. Eleanor is so hilarious as Lenore; the film wouldn't be any good without her in my opinion ;D
Reason #6 - Her ridiculous beauty and adorableness
There you have it! 6 serious and not so serious reasons I love the birthday girl. Once again, on the off chance that Eleanor is surfing the interwebz, I'd just like to extend my warmest wishes to you on this day and I hope that you enjoyed eating plenty of
It's great to see a tribute to Eleanor Parker! She's a really great actress and seems to get overlooked. She really did go through alot of appearance changes. The long pretty hair in the early 1940s, shorter hair in the 50s, blonde in the 50s and 60s.
ReplyDeleteLove her! Happy birthday :)
I love the photos! Eleanor really does have such a great voice. That's such a good scene from TSoM. I always feel sorry for her character at that part. No matter one anyone says, I really like her in that film! :)
ReplyDeleteI missed this link on tumblr. lol :) it's me tharwa-karina.
ReplyDeleteGurl, Scaramouche takes up one whole reason for Eleanor. Ugh she is just, idek. I am speechless :D
