  Nicole Kidman, if you can find a photo of her as dolled up for her role in Nine, would fit in this grouping too.

    I thought the table dancing would be more risqué chez Wenarto, but Speight Jenkins is expected to extend an invitation to mount a series of co-productions with the Wenarto Troupein the near future.

  And can we say PHOTOSHOP! on that Tracy Lord picture? Could they make her waist any smaller?

    She probably just has a very small waist. But photoshop (or something) was probably used on both of them to fix the lighting and to remove lines and slight wrinkles. It’s obvious because their skin just looks too percect and smooth.

    Lindoro, I can understand the typo, but just to clarify. Tracy Lord is Katherine Hepburn’s character in The Philadelphia Story.

    And having seen quite a few Traci Lords flicks, I can assure that she is no Katherine Hepburn. But all is forgiven.

    Also, the resemblance is quite remarkable. But who is the more accomplished artist? Traci was in her first movie at 15, and has done upwards of 100. Was Elina singing Carmen at such a tender age? I think not.

      …”she is no Katherine Hepburn.” Nor Grace Kelly.

      Thanks for the clarification; I didn’t know that, and didn’t notice the lack of an “S” at the end.

  How funny! Traci is well known for her own vocalizations… of quite a different sort, however.

    I should be properly ashamed to admit knowing that Traci Lords released an album of dance/club music called 1000 Fires. She’s not a bad singer, which is to say that you don’t necessarily want to puncture your own eardrums upon hearing her (assuming you like that sort of music).

      An album called ’1000 Fires’ by Traci Lords? Surely it was wrongly named…..instead of “1000 Fires”… perhaps “Music for Aerobic Pole Dancing Exercises in the Flat Position.”

    That’s right, she did do a techno album, but I was referring to her rather unique “expressions of ardour” whilst being shtupped. It has been noted by more than one “observer” of her horizontal exploits that she sounds like a seal in heat.

  I wish I had a dime for every time I’ve pointed this out: it’s Katharine (not Katherine) Hepburn.

  And the person/character both of these photos resembles is Samantha from Sex and the City. Nicht wahr?

  I’m sure Ms Lords could provide all sorts of tips on technique to aspirant divas.

    Specially to those who wish a meteoric ascent to the top.

    Rightfully, you should be awarded the Wildean Mot du Jour for that one, Mr. MontyNostry!

    And done too… without rising or getting off someone’s casting couch.

  When I first saw the cover, I thought it was Elke Sommer.

  Maybe she can “cover” for Garanca?
