@MGMstar Glad you liked it! This was done ages ago on VHS (as are a lot of my personal faves were!). I was only able to "do" Bette Davis when I was exactly 37. 37. I don't know why. I did others, which I will post when I can. Now, 10 years later, it's harder to pull off Bette (although "Baby Jane" wouldn't be too far a stretch...) : O
@CrashingCrockery I think you should give old Bette another go! Wish I was there to do my Joan Crawford! Can't wait to see the others when you post them. And yes I love the Joan Blondel that you did too!
we all know what "smoking" is a metaphor for in those wonderful films...but you have taken that to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL of metaphor with your BIG O ending....so liberating! xoxoxoxoxoxo Miss Clawdia
A ha ha ha! You delight me! That was when I was thirty-seven. When I was 37, and (strangely), ONLY 37, I could pull off Bette, sort of young, but early 60's Bette was REALLY easy ("Dead Ringer," "Baby Jane"), but I never did full out videos of those characters. : ( Now, at 46, she's harder to do somehow....but thank you for the compliment!!!
Come to think of it, back when I was, well, thirty-seven, I *DID* do Bette as Baby Jane singing the "Letter to Daddy" song to (myself as) Blanche. A form of torture, worse than rats and parakeets. I have it buried in my VHS stuff. One day when I find it I will post it and let you know. : )
(And yes, she SMOKES in it, even though in the real film Jane does NOT. But hey, it's BETTE).
Thank you - well, Bette SMOKES, so of course she would hog if given the chance, I think...PLUS I was 37. At 37 and ONLY 37 I could SORT of pull off Bette. The nose and eyes I think. So I went with it.
love it, more please!!!
