Propaganda

Celia Johnson (Brief Encounter)—She had the most soulful eyes! Like an anime character, it's insane. And she was fantastic in Brief Encounter. I also like that she's relatively ordinary looking, compared to some of the really glamorous Hollywood celebrities? She had an understated beauty, you know? And she's British so horray for national pride, lol.

Mary Astor (Scarlet Saint, The Maltese Falcon, Meet Me in St Louis)— She was a silent film star who was temporarily basically blacklisted from talkies because her voice was too low. What else needs to be said?

This is round 1 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut]

Celia Johnson:

An argument actually broke out in a film course I was taking, mostly filled with pensioners, because someone called Celia Johnson "not that beautiful" while we were talking about Brief Encounter. I don't understand how anyone can watch that movie and say that, she's got such magnetism and I think she's so gorgeous!!!

This woman set the bar for romantic doomed love and NO ONE has ever bettered it.

Mary Astor:

She overcame sexism and multiple set backs to have a hell of a long career.

I love the fact in doing research for someone, I find out all kinds of stuff. Mary Astor was one of those who successfully switched from silent to talkies, and was in the 1930, pre code, version of Holiday. Now I love the Katharine Hepburn version, but I'd give my right hand to see this. She's stunning, and a firebrand, and I love her

Mary Astor, looking rather blasé in her spangly little devil cap- me too, sister. From the lost 1929 film THE WOMAN FROM HELL... and boy, dig those eyebrows!
