Wow, maven, that collage is stunning. Glad you picked some really stunning photos of these actresses, they all look wonderful, which wasn't always the case in the films they made. The studios kind of downed their attractiveness throughout their careers.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing, I think sometimes the opposite is true nowadays, that actresses of a certain age try for looks that don't really correspond with their real ages.

:) Glad you like it. I tried to find photographs that would show them off. And I loved them in character as well.

I'll second that, CM. Brought back some wonderful memories of some remarkable ladies, for which I sincerely thank you.
