Legend

Reading the paper this morning there was a story about an ad campaign for Blackglama furs. They ask what becomes a legend showing an actress draped in fur no need to give her name everyone knows her. They have run these ads since the sixties using Judy Garland, Audrey Hepburn,Lena Horne. This years model is Elisabeth Hurley while I have heard of her I didn't know who it was from the picture.

This got me thinking about the actors and actresses of today and the past. How do they match up who could you see acting in a role from the forties and fifties and vice versa.

1. John Wayne-----------------Harrison Ford
2. Errol Flynn-----------------Jonny Depp
3. Gary Cooper----------------Arnold Shwartzenegger
4. Bob Hope-------------------Adam Sandler
5. Jimmy Stewart------------Tom Hanks

1. Katherine Hepburn-------Meryl Streep
2. Olivia DeHaviland--------Julia Roberts
3. Doris Day------------------Meg Ryan
4. Marilyn Monroe----------Angelina Jolie
5. Judy Holliday-------------Sandra Bullock

Any others how would you do it.

  1. I don't know enough actresses to make any arguments, but I'd say that no one could ever replace Donna Douglas.

    Or to go back to my college-era crush, Renee O'Connor.
