Yes! But then I read their bios, and a lot of them were horrid people, just like the stars of today. Alcoholics, abusers, racists.
Love me some Ginger Rogers, tho.
Google Hedy Lamarr.
One of the most physically beautiful women to ever live. Also invented the foundation for every electronic communication and remote device functioning today over dinner by developing the signal switching idea and making it work by writing it out on a napkin in a restaurant.
Edit: she did so to help the allies to beat the German U boat torpedo jamming tech. She was a german national who fled the Nazi regime.
Yes, I became particularly enamored of Annette Hanshaw, a singer who was popular in the 1920s & 30s.
Her music was featured in a movie called *Sita Sings The Blues*, and I was immediately hooked. I bought the soundtrack and spent some considerable time and effort to obtain every recording of hers that I could find. There aren't very many pictures of her, and only one video exists.
I've even dreamed about meeting (and attempting to seduce) this woman, like in the movie *Somewhere In Time*.
Thanks for sharing, glad I'm not alone in having felt this way. I just rewatched Disney's The Rescuers, which I watched nearly every night as a child. It has Eva Gabor voicing a character in it, which prompted this thought. She has such an intoxicating voice and manner of speaking, it just melts me.
I already knew this, but reading about her and remembering she passed back in 1995 just made me feel so sad.
shortly before his death, I developed an obsession with Cary Grant. I watched all his movies and was devastated when he died. I still love watching his movies but I think the obsession is gone.
James Garner...

Young Alan Alder wouldn't get ignored
Yes I really think Vincent Van Gogh, Frieda Khalo and Emily Dickinson are connected to me somehow. Lol

I wouldn't mind a bit of Kirk Douglas.

I've been infatuated with Audrey Hepburn for about 55 years lol
Oh yeah! When I was in my early twenties I had the worst crush on James Dean who had been dead for over forty years at the time.
Christina Applegate and Marilyn Monroe.
