So it’s time to perfect your pout and come-hither eyes, strike a pose and bat your eyelashes for the flash bulbs, and let six of the most iconic women weave their movie magic once more and show you what it really takes to be a SCREEN GODDESS.
“I am not interested in money. I just want to be wonderful.”
Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe
Born Norma Jean Mortensen and transforming herself into Marilyn Monroe, she embodied innocence and sexuality. Elusive and tragic, Marilyn’s collection includes the comic classic Some Like It Hot, and her last movie The Misfits penned by husband Arthur Miller.
“Everything you see I owe to Spaghetti” Sophia Loren
Men adore her; women want to be her; the epitome of exotic beauty Sophia Loren is as radiant now as when she made her movies; El Cid, The Fall of the Roman Empire and A Countess From Hong Kong.
“If it's true that men are such beasts, this must account for the fact that most women are animal lovers.” - Doris Day
America’s Sweetheart and the voice of a generation, Doris Day was part of one of the most beloved film trios of the 50s and 60s, with Rock Hudson and Tony Randall her films were wholesome hits. Included here are: Pillow Talk, Love Come Back and Send Me No Flowers.
“Every man I knew went to bed with Gilda …and woke up with me”
Rita Hayworth
Rita Hayworth
Big screen seductress, Rita Hayworth had it all, looks to die for, voice like an angle and she could dance like a demon. We see the best of her here with such classics as Gilda, Lady From Shanghai and Miss Sadie Thompson.
“Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get – only with what you are expecting to give” Katharine Hepburn
Dubbed the First Lady of Cinema with four Oscar® wins and a further eight nominations, Katharine Hepburn is synonymous with class, style and panache. We are treated to some of her very best here from screwball comedy Holiday to the ground-breaking Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.
“I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist It.” - Mae West
The original Blonde Bombshell, Mae West was sassy, bold and smart, having written numerous stage plays and translated them to screen, Mae was a trailblazer for future generations of goddesses. Enjoy My Little Chickadee amongst other greats in the fabulous set.
