This edition of Valley of the Dolls takes a look at two of Tom Tierney's Glamorous Movie Stars paper doll books:Glamorous Movie Stars of the Sixties
How's that for a cover: Jane Fonda in her plastic Barbarella bra, Natalie Wood vamping it up as Gypsy Rose Lee and Barbra Streisand, in full Dolly drag, looking like she's preparing to swallow something very large and very long.
And certainly Kim Novak belongs here, and I can even understand Julie Andrews in her various nanny uniforms, but ... Anne Bancroft? As Annie Sullivan ??? Sure, because being upstaged by Patty Duke is so glamorous ...
Glamorous Movie Stars of the Seventies
Don't you just love how Liza Minnelli looks so ... well, Liza-y? The collection also includes Diane Keaton (in her Annie Hall duds), Sally Field (in a shorty robe from Hooper) and Faye Dunaway (as a bullet-ridden Bonnie Parker? One can hope).
The odd one out seems to be Meryl Streep, who wasn't exactly glamorous in her 70's films like Manhattan or Kramer vs. Kramer. Of course, they could fill a whole book now with her fabulous ensembles from The Devil Wears Prada alone.
