I just saw the musical Violet, in which a girl with a disfiguring scar travels to find a televangelist preacher who she believes can heal her. (TW if you look it up - it deals with some heavy topics like racism and ableism and religion, and tosses around a few 1960s slurs.) In the song All To Pieces, the protagonist fantasizes about what she'll look like when she's made beautiful by faith healing and it's just a string of references to 1960s Hollywood actresses whose eyes and cheekbones she'll emulate. It was cool to recognize and have a mental picture for most of the names because of this blog! You might enjoy looking up the lyrics and trying to imagine the amalgamation of all these actresses into one Beauty To Rule Them All
hmm ok let's see:
Gene Teirney eyes
Cyd Charisse lips
Brigitte Bardot toes
Ursula Andress legs
Elke Sommer hair
Judy Garland chin
Grace Kelly nose
Rita Hayworth skin
Ava Gardner eyebrows
Bergman cheekbones
so that gives us
ok uh let's maybe not listen to violet for any ideas of how to build a movie star
