In Retrospect: The Faded Glitz and Glamour - The Women

Once upon a time, Hollywood used to be filled with classy, glamorous and smoldering actresses. They were bombshell-dynamo women who didn't have to get naked (on camera) to have the credentials of a sex symbol. They simply just set the silver screen ablaze with their charm, wit, passion, and acting skills (what a concept!). The sad thing is that they are being forgotten. It's almost as if the fairytale never existed when I have to explain who Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor and Joan Crawford is.

Let me introduce (or reintroduce) you to The Hollywood Woman that once was:
