[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 437735, member: 57984"] Almost a perfect beauty, it's true. And that's why she became, essentially, the biggest star in Hollywood history -- her looks, blended with intelligence, a snarky warmth which humanized her, and a certain instinctive talent and sense of timing (one that knew to turn just a little crass as the '60s set sale. As too much "class" and good taste squelches media stardom). I've only seen the trailer so far, but I tend to kind of hate recent documentaries -- especially ones about women; the commentary (and, in particular, from younger guests -- usually women -- who have no sense of historical context) gushing shallowly about the subject (e.g., "she knew her worth!", "she [I][B]liberated women![/B][/I]!") in full vocal fry. Because they have no idea what else to say. It's really trivializing of the topic. [ATTACH type="full" width="858px" alt="et1968.jpg"]58609[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
