EDWARD NORTON (BELOW). Pic 1. Like you´ve already seen, Edward Norton once dated Drew Barrymore. They did the movie “Everyone say I love you”. While he made “The people vs. Larry Flynt” he also fell in love with his co-star. This time it was wild child Courtney Love who was the lucky one. They were serious about the whole thing and Courtney Love later said she regret not marry him. Pic 2. He was in an other serious relationship between 1999-2003, this time with Salma Hayek. I hope no one takes this the wrong way but he definitely got her prettiest years. She was extremely beautiful! Pic 2. Norton later dated Liv Tyler.

Victorian painted houses

I have been looking around trying to find some inspiration. Not outside “in the real world”, no I mean here in front of my computer. Colours and beauty of some kind. And I found it! American Victorian houses, some from the east coast but more from the south, like Savannah, Georgia. Is it not just perfect? A house in colour, a gingerbread house, from Savannah, Georgia.

Black and White photography

I haven´t posted anything in almost a week, instead I have been busy updating older posts. But here is a new one, with wonderful black and white photography. The American photographer George Hurrell 1904-1992 worked with everybody that was somebody. He created the glamorous black and white picture that is significant to old Hollywood. He worked with Greta Garbo, Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant, and later Harrison Ford, Sharon Stone and Sherilyn Fenn.

Brooke Shields, 1981, Veronica Lake & Marlon Brando. It is difficult to guess which picture is oldest and which picture is the newest one.

The film festival in Cannes will soon be over. Wish I could have been there! I saw some pretty dresses this year, though I had to see them sitting by my computer.

I love colour! Especially when it comes to silk gowns at red carpets. Jessica Chastain´s blue dress is my no 1 favourite in Cannes 2014.

Image    Image

Grace of Monaco was the opening film and it received good reviews. Apparently Grace Kelly´s family is not to happy about the movie, not uncommon when making movies about real people (above).

The movie Saint Laurent about the designer Yves Saint Laurent will probably be better received since Saint Laurent is participating himself in the film making (below). I´m looking forward to see both movies.

Two questions that don´t need answers:

  • Are Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Hollywood´s new it-couple? They are trying to pull of old Hollywood glamour, it doesn´t look too bad.
  • Why do I like Julianne Moore´s style so much when she dress kind of weird?

Unfortunately a mayor idiot got through security and managed to get on the red carpet. As a prank (idiot!) he managed to get his head under America Ferrera´s dress. Apparently, the same man tried to kiss Will Smith last year, and got a good slap in the face for it. There is so many people around the red carpets, kind of creepy knowing that there may be a dangerous person in the crowd.

Old Hollywood List

In no special order, here is a list with 12 of my favourite Old Hollywood actors:

  • Veronica Lake (1922-1973)

ImageVeronica Lake

Veronica Lake was born in Brooklyn, New York. She was 12 years old when her father died in an explosion on a oil-ship. Her mother remarried and when she was fifteen they moved to LA for her to pursuit an acting career. Within a year she got bit parts in several movie-productions. A few years later she would become a big movie-star and would continue being so for about five years. Then she had to struggle with smaller parts and bad scripts and she also made some television. When she left Hollywood she was broke and an alcoholic. She died 50 years old from hepatitis. She was then living in a cheap hotel, working as a bartender, had four children and was married for the fourth time.

  • Ginger Rogers (1911-1995)

Ginger RogersGinger Rogers

Ginger was born as Virginia Katherine McMath. Her upbringing was difficult due to her divorced and fighting parents. Her mother went to court to get full custody and Ginger was then kidnapped several times by her father. When she got full custody of Ginger she was sent to live with her grandparents while her mother searched for work. When she got a job in Los Angeles Ginger as sent for, and she also remarried. At fourteen she won a charleston dance-contest and she also found work in vaudeville. She did her first film in 1929 at age eighteen. That year she married and (a couple of month later) divorced her first husband. She would later marry and divorce no less then four more times. Ginger did many movies with her dance partner Fred Astaire.

  • Cary Grant (1904-1986)

Cary GrantAnnex%20-%20Grant,%20Cary%20(North%20by%20Northwest)_09

Cary Grant was born as Archibald Alexander Leach in Bristol, England. He came to America with an acrobat-show and while performing in New York he was discovered by Mae West. He was one of Alfred Hitchcock´s favourite actors.

  • Jeanne Moreau (born in 1928)

Imagejeanne1

Jeanne is a French actress that mostly have worked in France. She still lives in Paris and she is still very active as an actress. She is also a film director and a singer.

  • Sidney Poitier (born in 1927)

Sidney Poitierhollywood-ivy-league-mens-fashion

Sidney was born in Bahamas. As a teenager he constantly got into trouble with the local police and his parents sent him to live with a relative in Florida. That is where he went to the movies for the first time.

  • Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993)

Audrey HepburnAudrey Hepburn

Audrey was born in Belgium, her parents both came from England. She grew up in London but when the World War 2 came closer, she and her mother moved back to Belgium. They were very poor and it was an extremely difficult time for her. After the war she studied ballet and later worked as a model. She was discovered by a movie director in Paris and soon she did a screen-test in Hollywood. Her screen-test is still considered the best one ever made in Hollywood.

  • Greta Garbo (1905-1990)

ImageGreta Garbo

Greta Garbo was born as Greta Lovisa Gustafsson in Stockholm, Sweden. Her father died when she was 12 years old which led to her dropping out of school to help support the family. She found work at a department store and later she started modelling for the same company. It was mostly newspaper ads but also an advertising short film, a commercial. She then did one short film and one feature film and won a scholarship to a very good drama school in Stockholm. While in school she made two more movies when the swedish film director Mauritz Stiller made her drop out to appear in his Gösta Berlings Saga. This was 1924, she was 19 years old and by the time she turned 25 she was a well-known actress in Sweden as well as in America. She became a US Citizen 1951. She never married, there have been speculations weather she was gay or not. Greta is considered one of the best actresses the world have ever seen. She is called La Divina, The Divine, Den Gudomliga.

  • Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962)

ImageMarilyn Monroe 2

Marilyn had a difficult childhood and married young. Her first husband wanted her to give up her dreams of being a movie-star and that´s why she soon divorced him. In her other two marriages it would be the same thing, her two husbands (Joe DiMaggio, A Miller) wanted her to settle down or at least work less. She was too young when she died, probably by suicide. Marilyn is still the biggest and brightest star the world had ever seen.

  • Sophia Loren (born in 1934)

Sophia Loren 4Sophia Loren 1

Sophia Loren grew with her mother and sister in Rome, Italy. Her father was married to another woman. After she came second in a local beauty contest she was discovered by an older movie director. She later married him and they stayed married for many years until he died a few years ago.

  • Bela Lugosi (1882-1956)

Imagebela-lugosi

Bela Lugosi was born in Hungary (then Rumania). He is known for numerous horror films and mostly for his performance as Dracula in many different movies.

  • Gary Cooper (1901-1961)

Gary CooperGary-Cooper

Gary Cooper grew up in Iowa and the first time he played theatre was in high school. Before he went to Hollywood he worked as a park guide. Later he would go on to win two academy awards.

  • Shirley Temple (1928-1914)

Shirley Templemar 24

Shirley was the most famous childstar the world have ever seen. She could sing, dance, act and she was the cutest thing you had ever seen. She gave up acting as an adult, went to university and worked in politics. For many years she worked as an US ambassador in both Africa and Europe.

I have found a lot of information at http://www.imdb.com. Many of the pictures I publish at these old stars come from http://www.doctormacro.com.

 

 

 

 

 

10 Movie Costumes

It´s Tuesday, so here are another 10 great movie costumes. It´s difficult to pick a winner, but I think I´ll go with the Catwoman-suit. It´s latex for Christ sake.

 K1 Dr No

Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder. Ursula was the first Bond-girl, starring in Dr No with Sean Connery as the first James Bond. This look is truly iconic (1962).

Image

Sharon Stone as her character Ginger, in her famous gold sequined dress. Apparently it scratched her skin as well as it was very heavy to wear. Here with Casino co-star Robert De Niro (1995).

Ten Things I hate about you, Bianca Stratford, 1999

Larisa Oleynik in 10 things I hate about you (1999). In this picture she´s explaining her pink tulle prom dress to her strict dad.

Gilda

Rita Hayworth in her famous dress in Gilda (1946).

Ä3 Fönstret vid Gården 2

Grace Kelly with co-star James Stewart in Rear Window (1954). She is wearing her green famous 2-piece suit, very similar to the suit Tippi Hedren wore in The Birds a few years later. Edith Head designed them both, as she designed almost all of Hitchcock´s movie costumes as well as some of the actresses private dresses. For example, she designed both Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn´s Oscar dresses.

B2 Drömtjejen

If you grew up in the 1980´s you will certainly remember this one. Kelly LeBrock plays two teenagers fantasy-woman in Weird Science (1985). Former supermodel LeBrock later married Steven Seagal (and divorced him).

G Mirror Mirror

Lily Collins in an adorable fairytale-dress, as Snow White in Mirror Mirror (2012). Unnecessary fact: Did you know that she is the daughter of Genesis´ front-singer Phil Collins?

Farlig Förbindelse

Creepy Glenn Close in her white creepy dress in super-creepy Fatal Attraction (1988).

F5 The Band Waggon

Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse in The Band Wagon (1953). Her transparent light blue dress is absolutely wonderful.

Batman Returns

Michelle Pfeiffer in Batman Returns (1992). Just the coolest Catwoman ever.

 

 

 

Fashion in the 1990s

I don´t know if I ever got it, the fashion in the 1990´s. The funny thing is, I see more and more pictures of fashion from that era and I don´t get upset or anything! Maybe I´m nostalgic or just old or maybe both? Maybe just maybe, it wasn´t so bad after all?! I said maybe! Because…wait for it…I feel almost like I like it!

Anyway, here are some thypical 1990´s outfits, movies, people.

Julia Roberts 1990 Julia Roberts 1993

Grunge was the biggest trend in the 1990´s, baggy, layers, looking like a homeless person. Well, like Julia Roberts in the first picture…it´s hilarious! She just won her first Golden Globe Award (1990). About the second picture; no woman or girl got through the 90´s without wearing at least a few cropped tops and neither did Julia (1993). The movie Pretty Woman made her the most popular actress Hollywood had seen in decades (1990).

courtney-love-nineties-slip-dress    556615

The princess of grunge was no doubt Courtney Love. She was married to Kurt Cobain, the lead singer of Nirvana and he WAS grunge.

1993 Geena Davis

I was watching MTV Movie Awards when suddenly Sarah Jessica Parker showed up and presented an award. I´m telling you, I almost died! It was the coolest outfit I had ever seen (1993).

In the 90´s there was something about dresses that was short in the front and long in the back. We had already seen it in Guns n´Roses video November Rain with Stephanie Seymour in that wedding dress. When Geena Davis appeared with this dress at the Academy Awards I actually thought it was amazing (1992).

1990 Debra Messing

In the 1980s you always wore a belt so Drew Barrymore was quite fashion forward in this picture (1990).

Debra Messing´s outfit was probably featured in In Style Magazine, it must have been considered as very…cool. Gwyneth Paltrow wore a similar green outfit with a skirt, in Great Expectations (1998).

Jessica Alba 1999 Claire Danes 2

Jessica Alba in a shiny outfit (1999).

Claire Danes was really popular in the mid 90´s after starring in a popular tv-serie and pairing up with Leo Di Caprio in Romeo + Juliet. Back then I would have loved that hair. By the way, why was everything so shiny?

1993 Whoopi Goldberg Sharon Stone 1

Whoopi Goldberg at the Oscars. For a while everything was so shiny and colourful (1993). Sharon Stone in Cannes, the skirt/pants trend was popular the first half of the 90s.

1998 Sharon StoneCalista Flockhart

Sharon Stone got maximum attention at the Academy Awards due to her silk skirt and her husbands white Gap shirt (1998). The following year Calista Flockhart was best dressed at the Golden Globes, wearing a simple white shirt with a shiny silk skirt (1999).

jennifer-aniston-hair Winona Ryder

Jennifer Aniston had as Rachel Green in TV’s super-popular sitcom Friends the decades most popular hairstyle (circa 1996). Winona Ryders pixi-haircut was also very copied. Of course, I copied them both.

hbz-90s-cameron-diaz-lg Drew

Cameron Diaz hair-do is also very 90s. Drew Barrymore in layer sweaters and then the shoes, the shoes just had to look big.

Video Software Dealers Association Convention - July 11, 1993 Tiffani Amber Thiessen 1990

Everybody loved Alicia Silverstone. First in three music videos by Aerosmith and then in Clueless. After playing Batgirl in the George Clooney-Batman movie we hardly saw her again. The floral dress was very popular in the 1990s.

Tiffani Amber Thiessen from 90210 was so cool in her jacket and red boots (1990).

Elizabeth Hurley 1 - Kopia Mariah Carey 1993

All eyes were on Elizabeth Hurley when she wore this Versace-dress to her boyfriend Hugh Grants Four weddings and a funeral premiere in Hollywood. This is still considered one of the most famous red carpet moments (1993).

Mariah Carey sold millions of albums by the time she wore this outfit. I must have loved this sparkly butterfly-top (1993).

9 Carolyn Bessette   1 a

When John F Kennedy Jr married Carolyn Bessette, she was immediately thrown into the spotlight. Her style was envied and copied, even I tried to look like her, need I say, it didn´t go very well. Carolyn Bessette Kennedy was one of the it-girls of the 1990´s. Tragically she, her older sister and her husband died in a plane-crash just a few years later.

1374153211090_cached jant-jackson-rolling-stone-1993

1997 cover-Playboy-19920301-50947

Demi Moore was seven month pregnant and naked when she was photographed by Annie Leibovitz and put on the cover of Vanity Fair. It was a huge surprise, in some circles even a scandal, it had not been done before. The cover have been called the best magazine cover ever (1991).

Janet Jacksons Rolling Stone cover was also a chock for many Americans, since then it have been copied numerous times (1993).

Spice Girls was the first all girl pop-band, at least in the 90´s! They made records, toured all over the world, gave out books, made a movie, guested talk shows, sold perfumes, t-shirts and calenders and they were on all the magazine covers, even prestigues Vogue Magazine (1997).

23 year old Anna Nicole Smith on the cover of Playboy in 1992, it made her campaign for H&M lingerie, iconic campaigns for Guess? jeans and in 1993 she became Playmate of the Year. After a drug overdose she lost the Guess? contract and starred in the third Naked Gun-movie with Leslie Nielsen and O.J Simpson. At 26 she had married an 89 year old billionaire and had to spend years in court fighting his son over the money. There would be more nude magazines and movies with that same theme and unfortunately more drugs. She had a son from her first marriage that would inherit her problems with substance abuse.

In 2002 ten years after that first Playboy cover, Anna Nicole starred in her own reality-show. It was awful to watch, most of the time she seemed to be high on drugs. Anna Nicole would gain and loose weight from time to time but after losing a lot of weight she became a spokes-person for diet products. In 2006 she gave birth to a baby girl but only two days after giving birth, her son Daniel suddenly died. He was visiting Anna Nicole and his newborn sister and died in their hospital room, probably from a drug overdose. Anna Nicole then named her daughter Dannielynn, in honor of her son. A few weeks later she married her attorney and long time friend who also was said to be Dannielynns father. Less then a year later, Anna Nicole died in a hotel in Florida, by an accidental prescription-drug overdose. Several men then came forward and claimed to be the father of Anna Nicole´s child and a custody-battle took place. DNA-testing showed that an LA-based photographer was the father of Anna Nicole´s babygirl. Not much have been heard from him after winning custody, so hopefully little Dannielynn is doing fine.

versace-ad-1990s-w724

This was hot, I had a pair of jeans in that shiny plastic material. This is an 1990´s ad for Versace, the only decade were supermodels were bigger than movie-stars. This fact was due to Gianni Versace who in many ways was the one who created the 1990´s supermodels. In the picture (from left): Christy, Nadia, Cindy, Stephanie and Claudia.

kate-moss-90s The Bias-Cut Slip Dress, Galliano 1997

Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss were supermodels and best friends. The slip dress was a huge trend during these years. The metallic trend was also hot, I had a couple of items myself. I miss that! Kate was a frontal figure for the grunge-style and the stupid expression heroin chic was first heard of when describing her style. John Galliano was the one who designed the bias-cut slip dress. His model was often Kate Moss (1995).

1992 Daryl Hannah Princess Diana, Dior 1996

Daryl Hannah at the Oscars in a slightly modified slip dress (1993). Princess Diana in another slip dress from Christian Dior. She often wore that choker, and chokers were very 1990s. On her left, the designer of the dress John Galliano (1997). He was the inventor of the slip dress (though similar dresses had been popular in the 1930´s).

It wasn´t just Madonna, Spice Girls, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey and Celine Dion. Suddenly there were a lot of female singer/songwriters. Here are some of the most popular ones during the 90´s.

Alanis Morissette was one of my favourite artists and definitely the most popular female singer/songwriter in the 1990´s. Her record Jagged Little Pill sold more than any other record in the 90´s. The fact that she wrote all the songs herself, made us like her even more.

Gwen Stefani from the No Doubt era, before she went solo in the 2000.

Björk felt different than the others and I liked that she came from Iceland.

Beverly Hills 90210. It was aired between 1990-2000. Now, it is difficult for me to see that there actually is a fashion statement in this, and not just random clothing items thrown together. But back then, let me tell you – they were so stylish!

Melrose-Place-Original-Series-image-melrose-place-original-series-36434411-368-450 21-jump-street

After 90210 (they were all virgins, for a while at least) there were Melrose Place (no virgins). It aired beween 1990-1997. In the picture (left) Courtney Thorne Smith, Daphne Zuniga, Heather Locklear and Josie Bissett. Floral dresses and look at the shoes Josie Bissett is wearing, so 90´s.

21 Jump Street was the coolest police-show since Miami Vice. I actually loved Johnny Depp, I mean I fell in love with Johnny Depp by watching 21 Jump Street. I don´t think I love him anymore though, sorry Johnny.

2 Twin Peaks friends-courtney-cox-1020x1024

Twin Peaks changed television forever. Lara Flynn Boyle, Sherilyn Fenn and Mädchen Amick had something to do with that. The picture was on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine.

Friends aired for ten years and was the most popular sitcom in the 1990´s. Jennifer Aniston have managed to work herself up to a fantastic career after the show was cancelled but the others have not been so lucky. Courtney Cox is doing good with her Cougar Town, who buy the way all of her former co-stars, seem to have guest starred in. Friends was back then, the sitcom every actor in Hollywood wanted to do an episode of. Ben Stiller, Julia Roberts, Susan Sarandon, Brad Pitt, Dakota Fanning, Jeff Goldblum, Brooke Shields, Charlie Sheen, Kathleen Turner, Bruce Willis, Sean Penn, Reese Witherspoon, Winona Ryder, George Clooney, Danny DeVito and Christina Applegate for example. Actors like Anna Faris, Paul Rudd, Morgan Fairchild, Elliot Gould, Elle MacPherson and Tom Selleck did 5-21 episodes each and people like Ralph Lauren, Isabella Rosselini, Donny Osmond, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Sarah Ferguson and Charlton Heston played themselves (1994-2004).

In 1999 Sex and the city premiered on TV and was immediately a huge success, much due to the characters designer-outfits. Suddenly everybody knew about Manolo Blahnik and Cosmopolitan. Again, slip dresses (1999).

Seinfeld, just the funniest sitcom ever (1989-1998). Just as Friends, Seinfeld had many famous actors in guest roles. For example, Marcia Cross, Denise Richards, Bryan Cranston, Sarah Silverman, Peter Stormare, Catherine Keener, Marisa Tomei, Patrick Warburton, Teri Hatcher, Mariska Hargitay and Courtney Cox did at least one episode each.

1 Tom Cruise & Nicole Kidman 1 Demi Moore & Bruce Willis

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman were the no 1 it-couple. Bruce Willis and Demi Moore were first runner ups. Here are Mr. and Mrs. Willis on the opening of Planet Hollywood, the chain of restaurants Willis had with Stallone and Schwarzenegger.

Winona Ryder 3 Kate Moss 1997

When I was in high school Winona Ryder and Johnny Depp were my idols, I loved everything about them! Then he fell in love with Kate Moss who was just as stylish (1997). (I still think Johnny and Winona were the cutest couple.)

1996 Gwyneth Paltrow 1997 Jada Pinkett Smith

Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow became another it-couple after filming Seven together. I love this slip dress she wore to the Oscars, it sparkles (1996). Will Smith with his wife Jada Pinkett Smith were also an it-couple but a bit less stylish if you ask me. In 1997 she nailed both the metallic trend and the cropped top-trend also at the Academy Awards (1997).

90s-grunge reality-bites

Pic 1. Bridget Fonda and Matt Dillon in clothing that are so 90´s! There was probably no other movie that had so much grunge music and fashion as Singles (1992). Pic 2. This was the movie that presented Generation X. Ben Stiller directed Janeane Garofalo, Steve Zahn, Winona Ryder and Ethan Hawke in Reality Bites (1994).

Pulp Fiction F3QGagf

Pic 1. Pulp Fiction first opened at the film festival in Cannes 1994 and was a huge success. In so many ways, movie making (and watching) had been changed forever. Pic 2. Clueless is truly an iconic movie with great 90s fashion.
