Photo Comparison of the Week, Halloween Photo of Sharon, More on Tony Curtis, and a New Poem for Sharon

Here is our Photo Comparison of the Week:

Perhaps I should call this one a comparison of hair photo:

Madonna's hair is very "Valley of the Dolls" here.

Here is a lovely photo of Sharon to start the Halloween season off with:

Here is a new article on Tony Curtis mentioning "Don't Make Waves" and Arthur Penn (who also passed away recently).  Sharon almost worked with Penn on "Bonnie and Clyde" but lost the part to Faye Dunaway in the end.:

I found this poem today that reminds me of Sharon and all her beautiful clothes, her body, and even her disguises (like the black wig and clothes she wore on "The Beverly Hillbillies" or when she was so properly dressed and disguised as Freya in "The Wrecking Crew" :

Dressed By Brian Patten

Dressed you are a different creature.

Dressed you are polite, are discreet and full of friendships,

Dressed you are almost serious.

You talk of the world and of all its disasters

As if they really moved you.

Dressed you hold on to illusions.

The wardrobes are full of disguises,

The dress to be unbuttoned only in darkness,

The dress that seems always about to fall from you,

The touch-me-not dress, the how-expensive dress,

The dress slung on without caring.

Dressed you are a different creature.

You are indignant of the eyes upon you,

The eyes that crawl over you.

That feed on the bits you’ve allowed

To be naked.

Dressed you are imprisoned in labels,

You are cocooned in fashions,

Dressed you are a different creature.

As easily as in the bedrooms

In the fields littered with rubble

The dresses fall from you,

In the spare room the party never reaches

The dresses fall from you.

Aided or unaided, clumsily or easily,

The dresses fall from you and then

From you falls all the cheap blossom.

Undressed you are a different creature.
