In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refused to shine
People tell me, there ain't no use in tryin'

Couch dance, laptop, and fun. The natural progression for a Lit author or reader would be...

Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did. Except backwards. And in high heels.

And didn't she do it well ?
(that said, I thought Vera Ellen had really nice legs which could move rather well,
as could Cyd Charrisse)

Probably one of the most famous and recognized leg photos of all time. And most people don't even know who is attached to that leg.

Nope. It's a real woman, but not Anne Bancroft like most people assume.

Take another shot at it Sam. It's three tries for 25¢ tonight.

I understood it was Anne Bancroft, but I gues it was another (it wasn't Janet Leigh in the Bates shower, or so I'm told).

Linda Gray?

 

[Handley_Page]

Linda Gray?

I cannot find my original information, but Wiki has:-

"Marli Renfro (born 1938 in Los Angeles, California) is an American former showgirl, model, Playboy cover girl and actress.

She was the body double for Janet Leigh in the shower scene of the 1960 film Psycho."

 

[Handley_Page]

Linda Gray?

It's her leg in the Graduate!

 

[SamScribble]

It's her leg in the Graduate!

Yes, but where was the rest of her, HP?

 

[JKendallDane]

Linda Gray?

I guess both of you win. Yeppers...that's Linda Gray's lower thigh, calf, ankle, and toes seducing poor innocent Dustin Hoffman...not Anne Bancroft's.

Yes, but where was the rest of her, HP?

Evidently doing other body double gigs and minor roles until she got her big break playing Sue Ellen Ewing on "Dallas" and becoming the main nemesis to the man America loved to hate: hubby JR.

From her IMDb bio: For The Graduate (1967) publicity poster, Gray landed the body-double gig for Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft's leg) through a photographer friend. She received a reported $20 for her efforts."

And worth a lot more that $20.

I heard a bloke on the radio the other day - can't remember his name, but he ran a club in Surrey back in the early '60s. Among the acts they featured was a band by the name of The Rolling Stones. Apparently, they paid them ten quid for their night's work.

In those days, it was about all they were worth. . . .

And getting harder. I cannot stand rap crap.

Rap crap is being too kind to 99.9% of that "music." :caning:

I think we should start a movement (pun intended) to change the generally accepted meaning of "rap crap" to being the conversation you have with yourself while sitting on the john.

The film shot of Dustin Hoffman was through Anne Bancroft's legs. The poster for the movie used Linda Gray's leg.

Also, if you figure it all out, she was overpaid~! In today's market, $20 for her leg for about an hours work (guesstimate) would be right on the money. If a lady who sells her services receives somewhere between $100 and $150 an hour for her entire body, $20 for a leg in the 60's was well over market value.

Not with that particular leg. . . .

No kidding.

Plus $20 barely covers a bucket of legs at KFC.
