Debuted on ABC fifty years ago today (17 September 1974): The Sex Symbol, a thinly disguised made-for-TV faux Marilyn Monroe biopic starring ultra-kitsch sex kitten Connie Stevens. The Sex Symbol is inept, tasteless, exploitative, deranged – and irresistible! The premise is that we’re witnessing a dark night of the soul for doomed movie goddess Kelly Williams (Stevens) in her Bel Air mansion. In fact, the final night of her life. We’re presumably meant to find Kelly a tragic figure, but she’s insufferable. Her breathless babydoll voice quickly grates. Kelly rages, “Canned from one stinkin’ movie! Anyone would think I was dead!”, swills booze, pops fistfuls of pills, smashes the TV screen, goes on crying jags and lashes out at her Spanish-speaking maid (“No! I’m not hungry!”). Much of the time she’s in bed shrieking into a pink telephone, like the worst-possible adaptation of Jean Cocteau’s La Voix Humaine. In terms of acting, Stevens’ guiding principle seems to be: “Patty Duke didn’t go nearly far enough as Neely O’Hara in Valley of the Dolls.” The Sex Symbol was clearly made “on the cheap”. Minimal effort is taken to conjure the forties or fifties time periods. As Kelly, Stevens always resembles what she was at the time: an early seventies Vegas headliner with a shaggy frosted blonde coiffure, frosted blue eye-shadow, frosted pink lipstick and costumes (and wigs and hairpieces) straight out of a Frederick’s of Hollywood catalogue. Still, as far as speculative Monroe biopics go, The Sex Symbol is a LOT more fun than Netflix’s divisive 2023 adaptation of Joyce Carol Oates’ book Blonde – plus the cast includes Shelley Winters hamming it up as a vicious gossip columnist! As John J O’Connor of The New York Times concluded at the time, “Every once in a while, the swamp of prime‐time entertainment gurgles up a product that sets its own memorable standards for trashiness.” The Sex Symbol is on YouTube.

Hiii,

I took your quiz and got unexpectedly got babydoll which I love. I’m already sort of similar to her but do you have any advice on how I could sort of embody her and what habits to start.

Also I am in love with your writing and the aesthetic of your blog. <3

first off thank you so much!! i try to make this blog as aesthetically pleasing as i can!!

but my advice if you’d want to sorta be more like “babydoll reader” aesthetic wise would definitely wear more pastels, frills, lace, and florals. babydoll reader has a more vintage style so a mix of 50s and 60s. a lot of babydoll dresses, tights, cardigans, pearls, dainty accessories, low heels, and flats!!!!!!!!

for some music i would listen to a lot of 40s, 50s, and 60s music!! so some artists would be frank sinatra, elvis presley, the ronettes, lesley gore, margo guryan, connie francis, skeeter davis, brenda lee, nancy sinatra, dean martin, the supremes, frankie avalon, the excellents, paul anka, and the rat pack.

as for movies i’d watch a lot of old hollywood movies and just movies from 30s - 80s! some recommendations would be anything with audrey hepburn and marilyn monroe, the sound of music, valley of the dolls, it’s a wonderful life, high society, anchors aweigh, bella de jour, seven brides for brothers, how to marry a millionaire, meet me in st. louis, out of the past, they live by night, bonnie and clyde, caught, mädchen in uniform, gun crazy, in a lonely place, sunset boulevard, gone to earth, speedway, viva las vegas, wild in the country, can-can, some came running!

here are some of my pinterest boards that have her vibe! #1 #2 #3 #4

and here are some outfit inspo from pinterest

Consuella “Connie” Williams as Marilyn Monroe

[bitter69uk]

“Connie Stevens was just another Monroe-style starlet with platinum hair and a little girl voice when she first hit Hollywood in the late fifties. Had she appeared on the scene just a trifle earlier, that image probably would have stuck. However, by the time Connie started to make the rounds, the Era of the Teenager was in full flower, so Warners decided to turn her into the girl-next-door type – a sort of singing Sandra Dee. During her first year with the studio, Connie appeared to be one of those stars who exist only in the pages of Photoplay magazine. Even with no TV or screen credits to speak of, she was nonetheless all over the movie and teen monthlies dispensing dating tips, makeup tricks and her recipe for spaghetti sauce. When the time seemed right, Warners paired her with Edd Byrnes on the aforementioned “Kookie, Kookie (Lend Me Your Comb).” She couldn’t miss, and she didn’t.  For Connie’s first solo release, Warners provided her with “Sixteen Reasons”, a formula ballad which had Connie Pledging her Ten Commandments of Love. The lyrics were corny, but it was a passable slow dance tune and as such hung around the top of the charts for twenty-four weeks. The only problem was that Warners couldn’t come up with comparable material for Connie’s subsequent releases. Her follow-up “Too Young to Go Steady” was a dud. Although Connie’s recording career faded quickly, the studio continued to exploit her squeaky-clean image on TV in Hawaiian Eye and on the screen with roles that were even dumber than her records. (In Susan Slade, for example, Connie played an unwed mother who eludes public disgrace by pretending that her illegitimate son is her brother). All things considered, Connie Stevens was one of the few studio-manufactured teen stars of the fifties who managed to hold onto lasting stardom. She continues to show up in things like The Hollywood Squares and Grease 2 and of course her celebrity hasn’t been hurt by her much-publicized marriages to actor James Stacey and the inimitable Eddie Fisher.”
