Now Girls, Just Stop It!

It starts out going along so beautifully...or so you think.

Joan Fontaine - Olivia de Havilland

Next thing you know, there are these....things.  Just little things, you know.  And you find yourself looking over your shoulder.


But you shrug it off.  You make excuses.  It's family after all, right?  You even try to make light of it....

"In a boulevard shop yesterday, I watched Olivia de Havilland select a swank pair of earrings which, she confirmed were destined for sister Joan Fontaine's Christmas tree.  The purchase completed, the clerk asked: "Anything else Miss de Havilland?"  "Nothing", replied Olivia reflectively, "execpt -- please be nice to Miss Fontaine when she comes in to exchange these."
--Jimmie Fidler's column Nov 30, 1940


Then one day you look at that pouty, sulking face for thousandth time....


And you snap!



And finally you realize:  She Loves This Game!

Olivia de Havilland hammers out a plan with a sticky wicket.
Rita Hayworth - Red Hair purple flowers.

Maybe in deference to Rita, Lucille Ball's Technicolor Red turns Brunette!

James Stewart - looks like a 'Stewart for Congress' photo.

Little Miss Alice Faye.

A thrilling and spectacular Dorothy Dandridge.
