William Holden’s voice was the finest in Hollywood. Yes, he had luscious looks, a fantastic physique, and awesome acting skills.

Originally posted on Three Enchanting Ladies: Embed from Getty Images When I published my article on Grace Kelly and Jean Simmons’s Olympic champion fathers last February, I discovered an interest in doing that kind of genealogy research. However, it implies a lot of time and organization. Via that article, we learned that Grace Kelly had…
Originally posted on Three Enchanting Ladies: Two days ago, January 31st, 2021, marked what would have been British actress Jean Simmons’s 92nd birthday. Along with the Three Enchanting Ladies (Grace Kelly, Ingrid Bergman and Audrey Hepburn), Jean has always among my top favourite actresses. Even though she never shared the screen or the stage with…
Originally posted on Three Enchanting Ladies: I created this blog five years ago already! Curiously enough, this is the first time I’m celebrating the anniversary of this blog. Since I publish, like, two posts a year (ok, maybe a bit more), I didn’t think it was significant to celebrate each year. However, five years is…
Originally posted on Three Enchanting Ladies: Today, November 12, 2020, marks what would have been enchanting Grace Kelly’s 91st birthday. On this day, I always like to revisit some of her films as a way to pay my tribute. I also normally host The Wonderful Grace Kelly Blogathon on my main blog, The Wonderful World…

Originally posted on Three Enchanting Ladies: Today, the enchanting Grace Kelly would have been 90 years old. It always makes me sad to think that she could still be with us. This brings many questionings, such as what would be her approach to the world now, how she would have continued to make Monaco an…

Ouch. How could I put this into simple words? Let say that Follow That Camel (Gerald Thomas, 1967) is not excellent. It’s not completely bad either, and it remains enjoyable. But it’s weak if you compare it to many of the other Carry On films and a disappointment after watching Don’t Lose Your Head, which was […]

Originally posted on Three Enchanting Ladies: Jennifer Jones is not the first name that automatically pop-ups to people’s head when thinking about classic Hollywood. A name like Ingrid Bergman has more chances to. It is intriguing, as Mrs. Jones had quite a prolific career in Hollywood. We remember her four pairings alongside Joseph Cotten, in…
