Hi there, we were recently talking about this contest in this thread: http://www.bellazon.com/main/index.php?showtopic=21310
I open a new thread cause we could start on Monday Nov 2nd if everything's OK.

BTW, the rules are the same as usual, and we could have 80, 100 or 120 classic actresses, I don't know yet, maybe 100 would be OK, cause if there are too many most of them might be unknown for many people and that would make them not to participate.
At the moment I have a list of 75:
Anita Ekberg
Ann Sheridan
Anne Baxter
Ann-Margret Olsson
Audrey Hepburn
Ava Gardner
Barbara Stanwyck
Bette Davis
Brigitte Bardot
Carole Lombard
Carroll Baker
Catherine Deneuve
Claire Bloom
Claudette Colbert
Claudia Cardinale
Claudine Auger
Cyd Charisse
Deborah Kerr
Donna Reed
Eleanor Parker
Elizabeth Taylor
Eva Marie Saint
Faye Dunaway
Françoise Dorléac
Gene Tierney
Gina Lollobrigida
Grace Kelly
Greta Garbo
Hedy Lamarr
Ingrid Bergman
Jacqueline Bisset
Jane Fonda
Jane Russell
Janet Leigh
Jayne Mansfield

And I have around 40 more proposed by spades24 and another 40-50 who have participated in similar contests I made in other places.
You can propose yours as well, though I can not guarantee they all will be included, I'll try to choose the most famous and prettiest ones.
Can I look after nominations about BB, Romy, and Gina?
Can I add the actress Michele Mercier, Mylene Demongeot?

Ann Margaret?
Jean Harlow? -- You gotta have some Harlow! Lol!
Do they have to have acted before a certain year?
Doris Day
Betty Grable
Jane Wyman

Ann Margaret?
Ann-Margret is already in the list, the 4th, they are in alphabetical order.
Do they have to have acted before a certain year?
I usually include them if they were famous in the 70's or before, and acting as an adult, not as a child.
Last time we had some younger actresses, born in the late 40's and 50's, though I haven't added them yet:
Candice Bergen
Carole Bouquet
Charlotte Rampling
Diane Keaton
Farrah Fawcett
Isabelle Huppert
Jane Birkin
Jane Seymour
Meryl Streep
Mia Farrow
Olivia Newton-John
Ornella Muti
Susan Sarandon

I just sent my list in and Harlow is on it. Stamholic is right you can't have a competion without Miss Harlow in it!

Prettyphile, did you want to scare us???
For both, the problem is that there are no more free spots now, maybe in a 2nd edition.

Well, we start and we'll see if we have 15 voters at least every day or not...
There are 100 classic actresses in total, 40 start in this 1st round, 28 more in the 2nd, 24 more in the 3rd and last preliminary round, and 8 are the group seeds.
40+28+24+8 = 100.
And there are no repechages, in these preliminary rounds if you lose you're out of the competition.
You can click on any name to see her google pictures in case you don't know them.
And feel free to add any pictures, videos... of them whenever you want.
FIRST PRELIMINARY ROUND, LOT 1 OF 2:
1 Linda Darnell vs Marlene Dietrich
2 Greer Garson vs Jane Powell
3 Carroll Baker vs Mitzi Gaynor
4 Bette Davis vs Norma Shearer
5 Vera-Ellen Rohe vs Anita Ekberg
6 Françoise Dorleac vs Ginger Rogers
7 Barbara Stanwyck vs Anna Karina
8 Carole Landis vs Loretta Young
9 Claudette Colbert vs Fay Wray
10 Mae West vs Betty Grable
DEADLINE: Monday 2nd November at 24:00 CET (Paris), 18:00 EDT (New York), if there are not enough votes it'll be longer.
