Stanley Donen’s SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS (‘54)

[tgsclassics]

While in New York in the early 1950s, Bettie made some good friends, including actor Robert Culp, entertainer Sammy Davis Jr., screenwriter Buck Henry, who, along with Mel Brooks, created the 60s tv show "Get Smart". He also dated an Irving Klaw model and went along on some of photographer Cass Carr's outings. Henry recalls one morning at an all-night diner, the place was jam packed with hipsters feeding their munchies and guzzling coffee. At around 4 am., in walked Bettie Page and her date. She took a seat, smiled, and ordered something, like oatmeal. The whole diner went silent. "Even the severely stoned sat up straight, stopped giggling, and watched the spoon going in and out of her mouth."

The Forgotten (Don't Look in the Basement, 1973)

"Perhaps I shouldn't have come here at all."

"I don't think there's any point in our talking about your leaving, Miss Beale. You forget, you were very anxious to take this job. I made special provisions for you to be here."

"I realise that, but I don't know what to do!"

"I'm the doctor and you're the nurse, and what I do decides what you will do!"

I have a theory, @fappertwo. The picture below was taken by Bettie's friend and fellow club member Henry Forrest at Cass Carr's NYC Metropolitan Club. The shoes are different, but bear with me.

Here are two more pictures with a fishnet backdrop and similar, if not the same, pair of heels.

I can only speculate your picture is by Forrest, but it's only a guess.

If you don't see a name you submitted here, it's because most or all of their career was as a child/they were too young for the cutoff, their career was almost entirely after 1979, or music was something they only dabbled in and are hardly known for. There are quite a few ladies on the list whose primary career wasn't "recording artist" or "live musician," but released several albums or were in musical theater, so they've been accepted.

Hendrix, Miles and the record that wasn't

Hendrix, Miles y el disco que no fue

(English / Español)

Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis met in a barbershop. Jimi loved his hair and Miles loved Jimi's hair. That's how it all started. Of course, the music of both was already ruminating in their heads. Hendrix was at the top and Miles was revolutionizing jazz. It was 1969 and drugs and alcohol were very present in their lives. Miles and Jimi started going out together with their respective girlfriends. They would go to bars and have a good time. "They gave us a table in the corner, and even covered us with a curtain so we could smoke a joint. They served us wine and played Jimi's music over the PA system," recalled the guitarist's ex, Carmen Borrero, about one of their visits to the exclusive Small's Paradise, the famous Harlem nightclub.

Jimi started buying jazz records and Miles was completely crazy about Jimi's music. "It's that motherfucking motherfucking Machine Gun." he said after listening to Band of Gypsys. So the idea was brewing. Jimi and Miles would record an album. Jimi cared very little about formalities and contracts, so he agreed one day with Miles to get together to record and told him who he wanted on rhythm: none other than Paul McCartney on bass and Tony Williams on drums. There was one problem anyway. The money. The fucking money. It seems Miles was a little jealous of what Jimi was earning, so he tried to negotiate with Hendrix's manager, Michael Jeffrey, to advance him a few thousand dollars. But there was no case. Thus, greed thwarted what could have been perhaps the best album in the history of jazz and rock.

Maybe there was one lucky guy. His name: Terry Reid, an English friend of Hendrix. In Charles Cross's biography of Jimi, Room Full of Mirrors, Reid recounted that one afternoon he was in Jimi's New York apartment when Miles Davis arrived. The two of them locked themselves in a room and began to play. Trumpet with mute and acoustic guitar. "It was authentically beautiful, it was a tasteful performance, nothing ostentatious or over the top. In the context of jazz, Jimi kept pushing the boundaries, and all those jazz guys respected him like nobody else in the rock world," Reid said.

Shortly thereafter they crossed paths at the Isle of Wight Festival. Jimi had very little time left to live. Miles was more vital than ever. He had been performing Bitches Brew, his most innovative album, for a year, with John McLaughlin on guitar, to whom Miles said: "I want you to play like Hendrix".

During the time that the relationship lasted, Miles and Hendrix shared many other things, such as Betty Mabry, Davis' wife, who had a lot to do with that first hair meeting. In terms of image, it was not only the hairdresser that brought them together. Miles changed his formal attire for a more extravagant one thanks to Hendrix's influence. For the celebrated bassist Dave Holland, "Miles had been deeply enriched by Hendrix's music". It is a logical explanation if one analyzes his music from 1968 or 1969 onwards. In his biography on Miles, Ian Carr quotes an opinion of the tormpetist: "Hendrix knew nothing about modal music, he was just a natural musician; you know, he hadn't studied, he didn't give a damn about the market".

Hendrix died on September 18, 1970. Miles attended his funeral and was devastated, so much so that he went to the last funeral he ever attended.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jimi Hendrix y Miles Davis se conocieron en una peluquería. Jimi amaba su pelo y Miles amaba el pelo de Jimi. Así empezó todo. Claro que la música de ambos ya estaba rumiando en sus cabezas. Hendrix estaba en la cima y Miles estaba revolucionando el jazz. Era 1969 y las drogas y el alcohol estaban muy presentes en sus vidas. Miles y Jimi empezaron a salir juntos con sus respectivas novias. Iban a bares y la pasaban bien. “Nos dieron una mesa en la esquina, e incluso nos taparon con una cortinilla para que pudiéramos fumar un porro. Nos sirvieron vino y pusieron música de Jimi por la megafonía”, recordó la ex del guitarrista, Carmen Borrero, sobre una de sus visitas al exclusivo Small´s Paradise, el célebre nightclub de Harlem.

Jimi empezó a comprar discos de jazz y Miles estaba completamente enloquecido con la música de Jimi. “Es esa Machine Gun maldita e hija de puta”. dijo luego de escuchar a Band of Gypsys. Así se fue gestando la idea. Jimi y Miles grabarían un disco. A Jimi le importaban muy poco las formalidades y los contratos, así que acordó un día con Miles para juntarse a grabar y le dijo a quiénes quería en la rítmica: nada más y nada menos que a Paul McCartney en bajo y a Tony Williams en batería. Había un problema de todos modos. El dinero. El maldito dinero. Parece que Miles estaba un poco celoso de lo que ganaba Jimi, así que trató de negociar con el manager de Hendrix, Michael Jeffrey, que le adelantara algunos miles de dólares. Pero no hubo caso. Así, la codicia frustró lo que tal vez podría haber sido el mejor disco de la historia del jazz y el rock.

Igual hubo un afortunado. Su nombre: Terry Reid, un amigo inglés de Hendrix. En la biografía sobre Jimi de Charles Cross, Room Full of Mirrors, Reid contó que una tarde estaba en el departamento que Jimi tenía en New York cuando llegó Miles Davis. Los dos se encerraron en una habitación y empezaron a tocar. Trompeta con sordina y guitarra acústica. “Era auténticamente precioso, se trataba de una interpretación de buen gusto, nada ostentosa ni exagerada. En el contexto del jazz, Jimi no dejaba de ensanchar los límites, y todos aquellos tipos del jazz lo respetaban como a nadie más en el mundo del rock”, dijo Reid.

Poco después se cruzaron en el Festival de la Isla de Wight. A Jimi le quedaba muy poco tiempo de vida. Miles estaba más vital que nunca. Llevaba un año presentando Bitches Brew, su disco más innovador, con John McLaughlin en guitarra, a quien Miles le dijo: “Quiero que toques como Hendrix”.

En el tiempo que duró la relación, Miles y Hendrix compartieron muchas otras cosas, como a Betty Mabry, la esposa de Davis, quien tuvo mucho que ver en aquél primer encuentro capilar. En cuestión de imagen no sólo fue el peluquero lo que los unió. Miles cambió su vestimenta formal por una más extravagante gracias a la influencia de Hendrix. Para el célebre bajista Dave Holland, “Miles se había enriquecido profundamente de la música de Hendrix”. Es una explicación lógica si se analiza su música a partir de 1968 o 1969. En su biografía sobre Miles, Ian Carr cita una opinión del tormpetista: “Hendrix no sabía nada de música modal, era sólo un músico innato; sabes, no había estudiado, no le importaba nada el mercado”.

Hendrix murió el 18 de setiembre de 1970. Miles asistió a su funeral y quedó devastado, a tal punto que fue al último entierro al que fue en su vida.

9, 10, 17, 23 but mindhunter. now you can be sooooo controversial because who is gonna get mad? the mindhunter fandom? like...

oh my GODDDDDugh finally the real questions

9. worst part of canon um the way that Nancy only appeared properly in the second season. Nancy was that bitch in her huge orange plastic sunglasses chain-smoking watching dead eyed as her husband obliviously drank a beer. there was so much there. she's younger than bill and clearly not as naive as he thinks she is but she's also not a Betty draper she's way more self aware. it's soooooo fucking annoying that her drama was about her kid being a serial killer which is so obvious and lazy when it should've been built off of her crying on Debbie's shoulder 2 hours into meeting her wine drunk bc bill is so unreachable and she feels like she can't give him anything. like GIRLLLL what happened to that. their marriage couldve dissolved in such an ugly and interesting and nuanced way I can't believe they did her like that I love divorce and it could've carried a flagging season . also the Manson needle drop was so ill done

10. worst part of fanon we HAVEEEE to stop. pretending that bill doesn't wear polo shirts. like I know we don't want to face that truth but we (5 people) haaaaave to accept it. we just have to. like he's a narc it's literally part of the whole thing

17. there should be more of this type of fic/art the entire dynamic in three missing girls OBVIOUSLY. more of the mindhunter s3 fic... I love you. I miss you. LESS OF THE REAL LIFE SERIAL KILLER STUFF. jesus christ. what the fuck the overlap in this place is so dicey it gives you a real idea of the intended demographic I'll say that much

23. ship you’ve unwillingly come around to bottom Wendy carr was a HUGE moment. paradigm shift. I think she's one of those people who knows exactly who and what she is esp at the end of her last relationship. the sneaking suspicion she's had since she left her first partner that she's going to die alone is now confirmed as fate/fact. wendy/dying alone
