Focus on Claudette Colbert

Kay FrancisSoft round collars, pearls, a suit with a touch of white ruffle at the neck, and the short curly bob with fluffy bangs were the style signatures of Claudette Colbert. They served her well. She's the only actress in Hollywood history to enjoy a sixty-year career without ever altering her persona or changing her look. Even more amazing is that she never lost the public's interest. In fact, she maintained star status regardless of the films she made or didn't make. During the last decade of her life, most of her still abundant fan mail came from people in the fourteen- to twenty-five-year-old age range. Colbert's look was forever gamine. On another woman, those trademark bangs would have been a signal that she was trying to hang on to youth. Not on Colbert. She never tried to look younger than her years. The apple cheeks and oval face remained virtually unlined until her death, in 1996, at ninety-two (introduction from the chapter on Claudette Colbert in the fabulous book The Power of Glamour).

Diva Trivia

Under protest, the 72-year-old Queen had agreed to sit out the war at Badminton House in Gloucestershire. She left Sandringham, heading a cavalcade of cars carrying her staff of sixty-three, plus their dependants, and over seventy pieces of personal luggage. For the duration of the war, this most formal and metropolitan of queens was to be subjected to all the unfamiliarities of life in the country.
