Admiration... Women in Film
I'm heading off to bed soon, but I thought it'd be nice to unwind with (and probably fall asleep in front of) an old movie. As I was looking through my collection, I got to thinking about movie stars and who I'm in the mood to watch because sometimes I just pick movies that way. I've also been looking at a lot of photos of old film stars lately because I'm working on a home decor project for my living room using pictures of old movie stars. Well, all this got me thinking about this video I have had posted on my myspace page for close to a year featuring a brief history of women in film, so I went looking and sure enough... I found it on youtube.
So here's a look at Women in Film by Philip Scott Johnson.
This film features Mary Pickford, Lillian Gish, Gloria Swanson, Marlene Dietrich, Norma Shearer, Ruth Chatterton, Jean Harlow, Katharine Hepburn, Carole Lombard, Bette Davis, Greta Garbo, Barbara Stanwyck, Vivien Leigh, Greer Garson, Hedy Lamarr, Rita Hayworth, Gene Tierney, Olivia de Havilland, Ingrid Bergman, Joan Crawford, Ginger Rogers, Loretta Young, Deborah Kerr, Judy Garland, Anne Baxter, Lauren Bacall, Susan Hayward, Ava Gardner, Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly, Lana Turner, Elizabeth Taylor, Kim Novak, Audrey Hepburn, Dorothy Dandridge, Shirley MacLaine, Natalie Wood, Rita Moreno, Janet Leigh, Brigitte Bardot, Sophia Loren, Ann Margret, Julie Andrews, Raquel Welch, Tuesday Weld, Jane Fonda, Julie Christie, Faye Dunaway, Catherine Deneuve, Jacqueline Bisset, Candice Bergen, Isabella Rossellini, Diane Keaton, Goldie Hawn, Meryl Streep, Susan Sarandon, Jessica Lange, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sigourney Weaver, Kathleen Turner, Holly Hunter, Jodie Foster, Angela Bassett, Demi Moore, Sharon Stone, Meg Ryan, Julia Roberts, Salma Hayek, Sandra Bullock, Julianne Moore, Diane Lane, Nicole Kidman, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron, Reese Witherspoon, Halle Berry
Music: Bach's Prelude from Suite for Solo Cello No. 1 in G Major, BWV 1007 performed by Yo-Yo Ma
I imagine it took a good bit of effort to put this together and pick who would be included, so I'm not complaining here by stating that a few of my favourites are missing. So my additions would be:
Clara Bow
Louise Brooks
Jeanne Moreau
Jean Seberg
Penelope Cruz
Great film, so many great actresses, I certainly understand you can't include them all!
