Hilary Duff has that same wholesome, innocent beauty like Dolly. There's something intangible those two have, and it comes across their faces. There are plenty of beautiful women in the world, but they lack that. Paige falls in that group in my opinion.
I think mid to late 1970s (her early 30s) Dolly is her prime. She was off the charts with her physical beauty in that insulting Barbara Walters interview in 1977. She came across as composed and classy too. I admire the smiling jujutsu Dolly performed on Baba Wawa who came across as classist, patronising, and rude.
Edited to add that I will look up that 60 Minutes interview you mentioned. Thanks for the heads up.
I agree. In the craziness we deal with now, he would be dragged through media mud for months for this, and I also agree it would be disgusting and sad. He was clearly smitten with her. That was obvious every time she appeared on his show.
Side note....I do think there was so much focus put on her boobs that people lost sight of the fact she had one of the most exquisitely beautiful faces in show business.
Interesting about the turquoise. I had no idea. I need to tell my friend who has collected Southwest jewelry for decades.
This thread reminds me of the Wacky Packages I had when I was a kid. Miss those.

I get white coat everything. Blood pressure, heart rate, anxiety, etc. all shoot through the roof. To the point that it prompts my doc to send me out for every test known to medicine to confirm his belief I have some ailment.
These are pretty much all present. Who are your past choices? My past choices are Raquel Welch, Rita Hayworth, Gene Tierney, Marilyn Monroe, Hedy Lamarr.
Yea, I would normally agree, but I found I enjoyed it more than I should have. It was mind-numbing escapism which is sometimes needed after a rough day at the office, along with a favorite libation.
Agree. Her beauty in this series nearly had shock value it was so close to perfection.
If Jason Statham played Strike, I would never forget I'm watching Statham play a detective. Tom Burke becomes Strike.
As much as I love Holliday Grainger, you ain't kidding that Cara Theobold would've been perfect for Robin.
Agree.
Who knows the reason, but I'm glad it was leaked because I doubt we'd have this great series if her name wasn't attached to the books.
Yea, she's wearing little to no makeup and her hair is darker. She isn't doing the perky, bouncy walk. Her voice is also different at times. I noticed it for the first time in the scene when she is leaving Matthew. It sounds like she's drunk about 100 bottles of scotch and smoked twice as many ciggies, but it's probably just deep emotional pain. I think all of these changes can be explained by the strain of the divorce.
To contrast, Strike is getting better looking. He looked great in Career of Evil to me, and then Troubled Blood came along to top that. Maybe it's some symbolic representation of his growing love for Robin. Or maybe it's just hard for a slender man like Tom Burke to stay large over years and years to fulfill a role.
How right you are about the frustrating wait between seasons. I'm starting the books soon. Maybe that will help.
I chose to watch Wild Mountain Thyme while in a St. Patrick's Day glow. I enjoyed it, and then I read this review which makes excellent points. I guess I was swept away with the tourism board cinematography, but as the review says, why were two gorgeous people like Dornan and Blunt cast as the leads playing people who are so fumbling in matters of love? It just doesn't wash. For me, Christopher Walken and even Jon Hamm were the best parts of the movie.
Thanks for posting the review.
Thanks for the rationale behind the short Office UK series. I didn't know it was Mr. Gervais's decision.
I found this article that might explain some of the forces that have put this frustrating British TV pattern in place.

Even American TV shows are getting shorter and shorter as time goes on. Here's another article about that if you're interested.

You've got that right. I was looking into watching The Office UK after the buzz about the US version in recent years. Office UK has just 14 episodes compared to 201 for Office US! Either UK didn't do enough, or US did way too many!
This isn't a one-off either. All the British shows follow this pattern, and then they make you wait forever between the precious few episodes.
I think about the classic American TV shows. They ran at least 25-30 episodes from September to May like clockwork and without fail. The good old days.
Thanks for the title! I'll check it out.
I had not, but I just looked it up. Horrible! I'm so sorry for the family.
They do me too! The scene when they first meet Andy and Lance is brilliant. After Andy says to Lance they look like Simon and Garfunkel, I swear the music is a riff on The Sound of Silence. Then when they are asked "How are we?" Andy replies with "Feelin' groovy." Genius at work right there!
