Movie: Imitation of Life (1959)

While hosting a dinner party in her home, glamourous Broadway star, Lora Meredith (Lana Turner), wears a beautiful white strapless dress with a green sash wrapped across the bodice and over one shoulder. It is accentuated with a dramatic Laykin et Cie emerald necklace set in platinum with matching earrings.

To appeal to the female audience at the time, the story was altered so that Lora is a Broadway actress so that Lana can model an array of stunning costumes and jewelry. In fact, she wears a $78k wardrobe all especially designed by Jean Louis.

The movie is also one of the first films to have a commercial tie-in with a jewelry company, and Laykin et Cie supplied all of the lavish pieces featured in the movie - $1m worth of costume jewelry.

Unveiling a piece of history, this charming necklace and earring set, provided by jeweler Laykin et Cie, was worn twice in 1959. It made its first appearance on the iconic Lana Turner as Lora Meredith in 𝑰𝒎𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝑳𝒊𝒇𝒆 and then graced the lovely Doris Day as Jan Morrow in the classic film 𝑷𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝑻𝒂𝒍𝒌.   What do you think of this jewelry set?

Propaganda

Lana Turner (Ziegfeld Girl, The Postman Always Rings Twice)— A serial monogomist who was married 8 times, "Sweater Girl" Lana was a gorgeous and respected actress with a shitshow of a personal life. Just look at her. Fuck it, I'd marry her too.

Dolores Grey (It's Always Fair Weather, Kismet, Designing Woman)— Primarily a stage actress, but her performance of 'Thanks a lot but not thanks' from It's Always fair weather is seared on my brain as the pinacle of sexy musical numbers. I adore her, and wish I could've seen her in the 1987 London version of Follies.

This is round 1 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

Lana Turner:

I've had a soft spot for her ever since a very ancient man in a pub told me I looked "like a young Lana Turner"

She's an icon!

Messy as fuck personal life, including her daughter killing Lana’s abusive boyfriend, but a real movie star.
