Kim Novak
Kim Novak is the reigning beauty of Hollywood’s new generation. With leading roles in “Picnic” and “The Man with the Golden Arm", two of the year's biggest box office hits, she has more than justified her ballyhoo introduction in 1954 as Columbia’s “Star of Tomorrow”.
Growing up in
Chicago she was gawky, unattractive. But in Hollywood at twenty-one a casual
bicycle ride down a Beverly Hills street won her a screen test. Currently she's
starring in “The Eddy Duchin Story.”
Elizabeth
Taylor
Elizabeth
Taylor was twelve when she rode to stardom as a pretty, wide-eyed horse-lover
in “National Velvet”. At seventeen she was amazingly mature, playing opposite Robert
Taylor in “Conspirator.”
Now
twenty-four, she has, thanks to her beauty, survived a succession of rate roles
and is emerging as a gifted actress. In her most recent role she appears
opposite Rock Hudson in the film version of Edna Ferber’s best-seller, “Giant.”
She is
married to actor Michael Wilding, has two children.
Ava Gardner
Ava Gardner har
replaced Rita Heyworth as the “Love Goddess” of Hollywood. Appropriately, “One
Touch of Venus,” in which she played the amorous divinity, was the picture that
made her a star.
Born in
Smithfield, North Carolina, the seventh daughter of a farmer, Ava came to
Hollywood at eighteen, weathered marriages to Mickey Rooney and Artie Shaw, and
changed from a wide-eyed country girl to a sophisticated temptress.
A
temperamental beauty, she is now separated from her current husband, Frank
Sinatra.
Lisa Fonssagrives
Lisa Fonssagrives
is one of the most celebrated fashion models in the world. Born in Sweden, she
began posing in Paris in 1935.
Now in her
early forties, she still commands top prices, retains her figure by swimming,
tennis and romping on her Vermont farm with daughter Mia, son Tom.
Marlene Dietrich
Dietrich she
has been synonymous with glamour since 1930, when she took the movie world by
storm as a sultry cafe singer in “The Blue Angel.”
“Even if she
had only her voice,” Hemingway has said, “she could break your heart. But she
also has that beautiful body and that timeless loveliness of face.
Greta Garbo
Garbo. Fifteen years after her retirement she remains
a legend with the public. Elusive, “she mourns,” according to a friend, “her
youthful beauty, not aware that her mature beauty could be even more
breath-taking.”
Winston Guest
Mrs. Winston
Guest is a fragile beauty, noted for her perfect taste in clothes. During the
day she usually wears very simple suits, little jewelry. At night her gowns are
more elaborate. Her husband is cousin of Winston Churchill.
Eva Marie Saint
Eva Marie
Saint became the first TV star to reach national film fame when she won an
Oscar for her performance in “On the Waterfront.”
Noted for the
intensity she brings to each role (“belief shines out of her eyes”), she has
played tender, tragic innocents, but she gives Bob Hope a comic run for his
money in the forthcoming film, “That Certain Feeling.”
Miss America
1956:
Sharon Kay
Ritchie
Miss America 1956
is Sharon Kay Ritchie of Colorado. Only eighteen, her extraordinarily high
ratings in personality, character, and facial beauty won the crown and royal duties
which should earn her $60,000 in her year’s reign.
Tenley Albright
Tenley
Albright five times U.S. skating champion, gave the world a chance to see that
American woman athletes can be beautiful as well as talented.
A pre-medical
student at Radcliffe College, she won her first championship at the age of
eleven, just four months after suffering an attack of polio.
Grace Kelly
Grace Kelly
which has been called “the way every woman thinks she’d look if only she could
afford a good hairdo.”
Grace began
as a model, rocketed to movie stardom, now is princess of Monaco. Her shining
aura of respectability (inspiring what one admirer calls “licit passion”)
bolstered the box office more than did sweater girls.
Italian Beauty
Delia Scala
Giovanna Ralli
Bianca Fusari
Rossana Podesta
Connie Smith
Irish beauty is
romantic and natural. The average Irish woman wears little rouge (“pale girls
should look pale"), takes particular care of “skin like a pearl.” Perhaps
remembering the many scores of poets who have exhorted her to be “passionate
and proud,” she has a certain majesty of walk and stance, which gives her
mature beauty an enduring appeal.
Above, Connie
Smith, Irish film star, is a typical Irish in both looks and temperament. She
tried Hollywood but left in disgust because they would not give her decent
parts, is now free-lancing in Rome.
Anita Ekberg
Sweden has made a habit of exporting movie queens.
Latest is
Anita Ekberg whose driving ambition and statuesque blonde beauty have made her
one of filmdom’s fastest rising young stars.
Swedish
devotion to health and physical culture approaches fanaticism. Anita proudly
declares: “I used to go swimming as late as November, when there was a thin
crust of ice on the lake.”
