Love her! She was such a bombshell. The "model lady" quote is one of my favorites.
And hello there, Mr. Cary Grant. It's always nice to see you.

Awesome Post! One helluva woman and her quote would bring the house down any time!!!

P.S. I like Julia and I liked Eat Pray and Loved ONLY for her. I doubt the movie would have been half as good if it was another actress. But yes, it is not as good as the book but I didn't compare. So, don't know if this is helpful. But if you have 2 hours to spare it would not be a total loss ;)

There are so many great quotes to choose from; I had a hard tome narrowing it down!

Thanks! She was so fiesty, I love her. Wish she was still with us today.

I like Julia, so perhaps I will check it out :)

That is one of my faves as well. And I agree - guest appearances by Cary Grant are a nice bonus :)
