Movie Legends - Dorothy Lamour

[ladyloveforevenmore]

It is a wonderful musical monument for a great actress, just a wonderful look back at her life with so much inherent elegance and personality.

(born December 10, 1914 in New Orleans, Louisiana † 22 September 1996 in Hollywood, California)

Dorothy Lamour has been one of my favorite brunettes since catching reruns of the "Road" movies on TV through the years. With smoldering dark eyes and every other physical feature to match, she was also an excellent songbird and comedienne, holding her ground between Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. I think those three are now in their greatest adventure, "Road to Paradise," where they still compete over her in a much more spectacular setting. And yet she foils them at every turn. (or maybe not!)....;)

A Legend of Old Hollywood!

She was so beautiful. May she forever rest peacefully.

Very nice presentation of the beautiful Dorothy Lamour. I really enjoyed it and the other ones, too. Thank you for putting it together and sharing it on youtube.

What's the name of the first song? I'm hooked on it.

Thanks,

Greg

@gregxox The music is titled 'In the Everglades' and is played by Bert Kaempfert and his Orchestra.

Thanks for all these images. I've been a fan of hers ever since I saw one of her early films called "Her Jungle Love" with Ray Milland. Apparently, she came to hate the title "sarong girl", since as an actress she wanted to do other types of roles... But such beauty and so different from the other Hollywood "beauties"...!

[Blutmond666]

Wow, she's stunning!

[officialpickle]

her and carole landis where great friends

[OS253]

Wow! Those women of the old days are so gorgeous! They have such perfect face and perfect bodies. So slim and elegant.

[dawnjones82]

id never heard of her but a 60 odd year old man told me to look her up cos i was the spitting image he said. i have defo got her lips!

[SailorBarsoom]

Beautiful woman, and lovely music to go with it.

Hey, are any of her sarongs still around? Are they held by collectors and such?

I have a thing for sarong, sari, thevadi, and so on.

Aging is a horrible thing. Look at her. She was a very beautiful lady. When I saw her on Creepshow 2, it depressed me. I know this tribute is not the point of what I'm saying but.........

[cmcb09]

She suffered from major heart compitations in later years, but still did an occasional tv appearance. Generally on long time pal Bob Hope's numerous tv specials.

I remember watching the "Road to.." films with my Nan, and i said you never hear much about Dorothy these days, and she said yes but at the time, i was a teenager, and every girl i knew wanted to look like Dorothy Lamour. Very beautiful lady, this is a wonderful tribute Baz!

[basilnelson]

Thanks Claudia! She's one of my favourites and I am planning further tributes in the future.

[sisterdiggins]

One of the most beautiful women ever created!

[niceguy63073]

I love this music! I enjoy all of her "Road" movies with Bing & Bob.

[BallyElm]

Beautiful presentation and music befit an incredibly beautiful woman.

[whenaman]

That is a catchy tune. Very mysterious. I never heard it before. I heard of Bert Kaempfert, of course.

What a shame her first and I think her best movie. "The Jungle Princess" has never been shown on TV. I hope it is not lost forever, it was really the first time she was in a sarong.

[LGLCG]

Very beautiful lady

[Viktoria3]

Oh my gosh!!!!!!!!!!! This slideshow is so nice, I REALLY LOVE THIS MUSIC! Great pictures, she is so beautiful and classy. Wonderful job!

[globehunter2]

Beauty like this` could be found in the Temple of

Gods, or on the white sands of a romantic island,

she radiated woman` like a blood red Rose of passion.

Dorothy Lamour was all of this and More.

Thankyou again` Baz The music is breath taking*
