"My tenderness, my happiness, what words can I write for you? How strange that although my life’s work is moving a pen over paper, I don’t know how to tell you how I love, how I desire you. Such agitation — and such divine peace: melting clouds immersed in sunshine — mounds of happiness. And I am floating with you, in you, aflame and melting — and a whole life with you is like the movement of clouds, their airy, quiet falls, their lightness and smoothness, and the heavenly variety of outline and tint — my inexplicable love. I cannot express these cirrus-cumulus sensations."
- Vladimir Nabokov's love letter to his wife, Véra ❤️

Propaganda
Eleanor Parker (Scaramouche, The Sound of Music)— Eulogized as a ravishing beauty who's looks were merely ornamental to her craft, feast your eyes on Eleanor Parker. Listen! I know you're thinking of the Baroness in Sound of Music and saying NO I won't protect the woman who tried to steal him from Maria but forget about that (like you personally wouldn't shoot your shot with Plummer)! The trailer for Scaramouche describes her character Lenore as "The glamourous queen of the nightlife of Paris. A flame-haired wildcat" and this is a woman who was able to pull off that role, and you get the vibe she was like that irl too. There's a story about her changing hair colors that never fails to make me laugh. Take note of her stunning eyes! Her amazing legs! And to see her in motion is to make note of the aura about her, she has an amazing presence. Fall in love with Eleanor Parker today, and make your vote count!
Véra Clouzot (Diabolique)—at the end of Diabolique she’s running around in just a nightgown and my roommate had to slutshame me because I kept getting distracted from the plot by a hint of nipple or her backlit legs also her hair looks great in that movie
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.
[additional propaganda submitted under the cut]
Eleanor Parker:
“When I’m spotted somewhere, it means that my characterizations haven’t covered up Eleanor Parker the person. I prefer it the other way around.” So shy she was actively nervous about winning awards in person, her personal life remains mostly behind the scenes. But on screen? she was a force majeure. It's a shame the role most people remember her in is the Baroness in The Sound of Music, but then again, it did make Christopher Plummer reminisce upon her passing “I was sure she was enchanted and would live forever.”
Listen we all know Christopher Plummer and Julie Andrews had insane chemistry but the Baroness deserves some love too! She has such a glamorous presence but not in a hard way
She will be known as the fabulous baroness in TSOM, but she was so much more than that. Just as comfortable in westerns or melodrama, the scheming other woman, and the beauty that wins the heart of every man in town.
Véra Clouzot

The weather this morning was so so: dullish, but warm, a boiled milk sky, with skin—but if you pushed it aside with a teaspoon, the sun was really nice, so I wore my white trousers.
Vladimir Nabokov, in a letter to Véra dated 10 June 1926

news headlines: Joost Klein ATTACKED an assistant on the set of “Europapa”
me: oh no, that’s terrible if true
news articles: yeah he yelled at the assistant, which prompted Véras to talk to Joost and remind him that’s not okay
me: … ah
#Joost Klein#Europapa#Véras Fawaz#to be clear: it is never acceptable to yell at someone in a work environment#(and had it happened in my work environment: there would have been hell to pay)#but also. from the bottom of my heart. I am not without sin.#and for me to… cast stones at him would be. well. well it would be hypocritical#again what he apparently did isn’t okay#but mainstream media seems hellbent on painting him as this monster#when he is actually painfully human#violence tw#all caps tw
