Faye Dunaway

In the opening scene of Bonnie and Clyde (1967), director Arthur Penn has imprisoned Bonnie Parker in bed, does the metaphor allude to her dysfunctional sexuality, or a desire to free herself from a bridled existence?

Michelle Williams

The movie: "Shutter Island" (2010) Martin Scorsese - Director


This is definitely one of Michelle's prettier poses before she is immolated in our heroes dream, yes IMMOLATED, and it's haunting
.... Scorsese is a genius.

Veronica Lake

Veronica Lake is the definition of "American Icon"

Most of us are too young to be acquainted with actresses beyond Marilyn Monroe, but Veronica's sensitivy, smarts and sass, are continually reanimated as in Jessica Rabbit (as herself) in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"

It's all about the  peekaboo do
