Re: Thelma Todd, Morgue Image
It's refreshing to see how in the 1930s, women didn't have to weigh 105lbs with life-perserver-sized fake boobs to be seen as star-quality attractive. Just the other day, on a thread regarding Christie Brinkley and her daughters, someone called Christie "fat" in the image that was used on the cover of the 1980 Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition.   I think a lot of people these days need to flush out their headgear about body norms and attractiveness. If it's a still-picture and you didn't take it, you can't trust anymore that somebody actually looks like that. As for Thelma and Christie, at least back then, what you saw is what you got.  |

Re: Thelma Todd, Morgue Image
Women in the 30s and before were especially tiny, smaller even than they are now. Have you ever been to the TCL Theatre in Hollywood? I think the big difference is that women weren't gym rats back then, so they're just very toned now, where as before, they just looked more fleshy. |

Re: Thelma Todd, Morgue Image
WTF?!?!? Seriously?? 80's era Brinkley is fat, but Nikki Minaj is "built"??? Chicks that have a BMI of over 40 are "thick"? World's gone upside down... |

Re: Thelma Todd, Morgue Image
1980s Brinkley was large boned, thick faced and wide hipped. I never considered Brinkley attractive, even back in that era. Sorry.
