Gentlemen Prefer Blondell



Ol' Joan didn't hide from publicity
On the phone she'd provide electricity
In bath and boudoir
Her path took her far
She's shown just this side of explicit-y.

Pre-Code era star Joan Blondell: no actress looked like she was having more fun getting in and out of her clothes. Title by that chaser of Loos women, gentle Donald B. Benson.

I have often wondered why Ms. Blondell never got more notice for being the sexy woman she so often played. To me, she often seemed like the ultimate movie date: snappy personality, party girl, great body - what else do you need?

Yes, she was all of that. And a trouper, too.
