1950's Hollywood: A time where everything had class, sophistication and real glamour. A time when even affairs and scandals were done in style. Leading me and woman had real talent. Not only could they act, but they could sing AND dance. They were real stars.
These days, anyone who stars in a home sex tape is considered to be a star, an 'it' girl. People become famous not because they are gifted, but because of their ability to create gossip. Girls such as Paris HIlton and Lindsay Lohan, who have not one shred of decency or sophistication, are glorified. It is mind goggling to believe that the 'it' girls of Hollywood are ones that:
Have starred in their own sex tape - Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian
Have been arrested - Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan, Mischa Barton
Have gone to jail - Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie
Have been to Rehab - Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan
And have simply proven themselves to be morons who don't have real respect for anything; just watch 5 minutes from ANY episode of the simple life if you don't believe me.
Compare this to the like of those such as Audrey Hepburn, Sophia Loren, Katherine Hepburn and even Doris Day. Even if these woman had scandals in their personal life, for example Sophia Loren being barred from ITaly for her marriage to Carlo Ponti, they still worked hard for their place in the lime light. More importantly they possessed something that is rarely seen today, a little something called talent.
These woman carried themselves with sophistication and class. Today, actresses such as Sandra Bullock, Sally Field and Cate Blanchet, echo this. They are talented, they are smart, they clearly respect themselves and make sure that others respect them. This is a dying breed of woman.
You can imitate old Hollywood glamour by putting on a dress, but you can't imitate class.
