I'll have to check out some of her movies.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14832710800680256206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-7043039797029140522009-03-10T18:27:00.000-04:002009-03-10T18:27:00.000-04:00Raquelle- her pre-50's movies are really good!...Raquelle- her pre-50's movies are really good! I'm not sure how many are on DVD but TCM plays them a lot. Ronald Reagan is star of the month this month, so all of their films together should be on TCM. I think they're all from the late 30's or 40's, so you can see her really cute hairdos there :)<BR/><BR/>elena-lu- I know, especially with Joan Crawford. Pictures of her from the 20's and 30's are gorgeous, and yet everyone remembers her with the shoulderpads and crazy eyebrows. What a shame.<BR/><BR/>casey- Isn't it strange?! That's so funny that you and your mom have a theory about the hair, because the whole 50's hair pet-peeve is a mom-daughter thing in my house too. We get so animated talking about Jane Wyman's hair. It especially drives my mom crazy :)<BR/><BR/>I'll have to go back and look at Myrna Loy's hair in the 30's and 40's. Maybe it's because they started playing more matronly roles in the 40's? Joan Crawford & Jane Wyman were still picking young attractive parts in the 40's and 50's, and the hair didn't suit their characters at all. It makes sense when they're playing mom roles, but not as fashionable leading ladies.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02026961018017690353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-14372141529973351852009-03-10T14:45:00.000-04:002009-03-10T14:45:00.000-04:00I'm so glad I'm not the only one to notice this bi...I'm so glad I'm not the only one to notice this bizarre hair thing! What the heck happened? My Mom and I always speculate that the hairdresser had it in for the actress in question, and no one else had the heart to tell her her hair looked awful.<BR/><BR/>Myrna Loy and Claudette Colbert may have been the first to be affected with this malady. Way back in the thirties, when we had truly marvelous hair on Jean Harlow and Barbara Stanwyck, Myrna and Claudette always looked like escapees from the poodle parlor.<BR/><BR/>Since You Went Away is one of my huge favorites, too. Shirley Temple and Monty Wooley make that film so cute.<BR/><BR/>The paintings are great! I love the detail on Jane's cheekbones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-21687128265963726282009-03-10T11:04:00.001-04:002009-03-10T11:04:00.001-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.elena-luhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05467575457597143161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-26516704609345750272009-03-10T11:04:00.000-04:002009-03-10T11:04:00.000-04:00i totally agree with you on the style changes, its...i totally agree with you on the style changes, its odd what they ended up with because a lot of the times thats how everyone remembers them which in a lot of the cases is a little unflattering!!elena-luhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05467575457597143161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-31212919797616153602009-03-10T07:49:00.000-04:002009-03-10T07:49:00.000-04:00I guess I've only seen Jane Wyman's films post 195...I guess I've only seen Jane Wyman's films post 1950 so I never noticed about the hairstyle. I can see how a new decade may have brought on a new look. I love the painting of Jane Wyman, you did a great job with the hair.Raquel Stecherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02687110907002450794noreply@blogger.com
