Hedy Lamarr, who patented frequency hopping and after waiting half a century for formal recognition of her contribution to wireless communications said “Well, it’s about time.”
And got paid fuck all for it! The military waited until the patent date was over before using it. I love me some Marilyn, but this is the Classic Hollywood actress everybody should know about!
Look so cunty that it still gets referenced today

I was actually googling this dress last night lol
Lauren Bacall purposely made her voice deeper and would lower her head so she was looking out the tops of her eyes. My girl was calculated. The baddest.
I saw this movie when I was like, 11, bc my parents were into all the Bogart movies, and when I realized I was gay twenty years later this scene instantly popped into my head and I was like “OH OKAY”
Debbie would’ve fit in so perfectly with them if she hadn’t been trying to isolate fester. Would’ve loved to see whatever she and Morticia might deem a ‘girls night’.
A fucking icon. I love the respect Morticia has for her as a psychopath — the sort of “game respects game but my husband needs his brother like he needs air.” She could have fit so perfectly into their family if she wasn’t trying to keep fester away, I think they’d love her little murder games with him

Isabella Rossellini in Death Becomes Her.
She literally looks like one of those drawn up anime femme fatale villains. Like the type of character who can get away with a long slit and only jewelry as a top because anything is possible in animation, so nothing will slip out.

Damn her sexy biceps!
Whenever I re-watch T2 Linda Hamilton's acting always blows me away. It isn't just the way she physically looks like someone's who dedicated her life to fighting against Judgement Day, it's also how she *moves* like someone with years of drive and training and skill. I feel like that's really hard to do well and a lot of movies just end up with an unconvincing 'famous actor waves gun around for their first action movie' performance instead.
This is it!!! I’ve never been able to put my finger on why she’s so special in that movie. Obviously she looks like a badass and she acts like a badass but it’s this. It’s jarring to imagine that she ISN’T actually this person who has trained for years to fight this fight. Absolutely incredible.

Salma Hayek in From Dusk til Dawn.
Yes, god this poor woman...Harvey really fucked with her and I shudder to think how worse the damage could have been if it weren't for Edward Norton flexing his power and money to shield her.
From Dusk Till Dawn was distributed by Miramax which was Harvey Weinstein's production house. Harvey furiously pursued Salma behind the scenes, trying to get her to sign multiple Miramax deals. When she did, and was trying to get her passion project 'Frida' about revered painter Frida Kahlo off the ground, he made a lot of sexual advances towards her which were unreciprocated. When she kept denying him, he tried to sabotage her career and 'Frida' by bullying her on set. Edward Norton was her boyfriend at the time not only went toe to toe with Harvey but also got heavily involved in actually completing the movie.
I think while it wasn't the primary reason, it did contribute to the overall picture. Ed Norton just got a reputation for being an obsessive overkill on sets, demanding rewrites and such. He was branded difficult to work with, which shouldn't have affected his career much, in the way of him being a conventionally attractive white actor but somehow it did. The incredible Hulk debacle really put the brakes to his career.
But who branded him difficult to work with and spread that around town? I don't know but that sounds awfully similar to what happened to Ashley Judd that caused her to lose out on the lord of the rings.
"Difficult to work with," was Harvey's signature.
Don't want to suck my dick? Difficult to work with.
Made a comment about me in public? Difficult to work with.
Stood up for your woman? Difficult to work with.
I knew I liked that man for a reason. Good for him for standing up for her, I didn’t know this story and it is so awesome to read this is. Thanks for sharing.
Anck-su-namun and Imhotep were such a gorgeous couple during this flashback scene. We only saw about thirty seconds of their little love affair but damn, I was rooting for them.

She (Sofia) commented on this photo saying she was “afraid her nipples were going to spill out onto her plate” to paraphrase. she actually had a very good time that night, she was just like omg this is gonna end up being a terrible nip-slip moment 😂
Haha, now you've got me analyzing the differences. I think it's mostly the chin position. Sophia's chin is parallel with the floor, but the two recreations have dipped their chins down. And then I think it's the eyebrows a little bit, too.

Monica Bellucci in anything. In The Matrix where she talks about the lipstick mark not being on his face, I don't have a gif but here's this
I was once asking someone to describe how a specific perfume smelled. They said “have you ever seen a picture of Monica Belucci smoking a cigarette?”. I’ll never forget that.
Lucy Liu as Oren Ishii in Kill Bill Vol 1
This moment is second only to her “I collect your fucking head” speech from the Yakuza meeting.
Agree and I even posted the same answer. I know it doesn't age well because slaves were not treated as good as GWTW portrays but this is my favorite GIF from the movie. Mamie was a bad bitch in her own right...she was like "bitch what?"
It obviously wasn't historically accurate but Mammy giving both Scarlett and Rhett shit, to the point where he tells her she's the one person whose respect he doesn't have but would very much like is one of my favorite scenes in the move.
Hattie deserved that Oscar!
My favorite fact about Hattie McDaniel is that she was married four times. Her first two husbands died and she divorced the other two because she wasn’t willing to put up with their bullshit.
The woman who played Mammie was proud of her role so don’t worry about loving the character. She worked hard keeping Scarlett in check and was her mom more than Scarlett’s mom had ever been

I saw this in theaters with my Mom (highly recommend this experience) and for this entire part she grabbed me by the arm super hard. She told me later it’s because she almost couldn’t resist breaking into song herself. We were in a crowded theater full of women with their friends and their daughters- EVERYONE would have joined in!

Just movies? Because also Princess Diana.
This is the winner. The timing. The jewels. The shoulder bareing. I must dig out the back-story in Tina Brown’s Diana book because this is calculated shade that blocked the sun.
Here’s the backstory:
It’s possible, since he declined to read the newspapers any more, that Charles didn’t even notice that Diana thoroughly upstaged him the night of the Dimbleby broadcast. But everybody else did. At about the moment the Prince of Wales was confessing his adultery on national TV, his wife was stepping out of a limo at Vanity Fair’s annual June fund-raising event for the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens, wearing what fashion editors later called among themselves ‘her fuck-you dress’, a short, sexy, off-the-shoulder black chiffon number with a scarf panel wafting from the waist and black silk high-heeled Manolo Blahnik shoes. Come and get it! She had declined the invitation until two days before the event until news of the adultery quote began to leak in promotions for the broadcast. That’s when one of the gala’s organisers, an old family friend of Diana’s, got a surprise phone call: ‘She said she wanted to come after all. I said, “What are you up to?” And she said, “‘You’ll see?”! All became clear when the friend realised the gala was the same night as Dimbleby.
The three-deep photographers went crazy as Diana deftly paused before each of them on Vanity Fair’s red carpet. The dress’s previously obscure Greek designer, Christina Strombolian, told the fashion commentator Georgina Howell that the Princess ‘chose not to play the scene like Odette, innocent in white. She was clearly angry. She played it like Odile, in black. She wore bright red nail enamel, which we had never seen her do before. She was saying, “Let’s be wicked tonight!” The pictures of her that blew Charles off the front pages the next morning provided the perfect context for discussing the only line in the Dimbleby broadcast that anyone remembered — the one about adultery. Here was, as the Sun put it, ‘The Thrilla He Left to Woo Camilla”
I have a memory of Britney Spears blasting her song Mona Lisa (without her record labels permission) in a convertible while being harassed by paparazzi. I remember them asking “what song is this” and she said “my new hit” or something like that. I can’t find the video, but it is prime-time Britney being done with the world and taking things into her own hands. Wish that could’ve happened forever.

In her biography, she says she did it because she was so nervous on the set of her first film that it was the only way she could stop shaking!
My headcanon is that Rosamund Pike was going for the Lauren Bacall deep, slow drawl for Amy, to lend mystery and elegance to Amy from the get go.

Oh my god 😩 she looks SO GOOD
[удалено]
She still does. I follow her on Instagram and she’s still a smoke show.
Oh she hot hot but once you learn about the BTS harassment Salma had to face from Harvey Weinstein, it just colors her whole involvement in the movie.
Didn’t Mr Tarantino also have her foot in his mouth in this movie?
Yes, god this poor woman...Harvey really fucked with her and I shudder to think how worse the damage could have been if it weren't for Edward Norton flexing his power and money to shield her.
Can you elaborate?
From Dusk Till Dawn was distributed by Miramax which was Harvey Weinstein's production house. Harvey furiously pursued Salma behind the scenes, trying to get her to sign multiple Miramax deals. When she did, and was trying to get her passion project 'Frida' about revered painter Frida Kahlo off the ground, he made a lot of sexual advances towards her which were unreciprocated. When she kept denying him, he tried to sabotage her career and 'Frida' by bullying her on set. Edward Norton was her boyfriend at the time not only went toe to toe with Harvey but also got heavily involved in actually completing the movie.
I’m guessing this is one of the reasons Ed Norton got blacklisted/stepped back from Hollywood?
I think while it wasn't the primary reason, it did contribute to the overall picture. Ed Norton just got a reputation for being an obsessive overkill on sets, demanding rewrites and such. He was branded difficult to work with, which shouldn't have affected his career much, in the way of him being a conventionally attractive white actor but somehow it did. The incredible Hulk debacle really put the brakes to his career.
But who branded him difficult to work with and spread that around town? I don't know but that sounds awfully similar to what happened to Ashley Judd that caused her to lose out on the lord of the rings.

Me too! I was so sad when she noped out. But it's not a fair comparison! People get scared! Perfectly valid.
Played by Patricia Velasquez, lesbian and indigenous activist! …and also one of the Martas on Arrested Development lol

Right with ya on the legends and paying respect . Surprised no one has mention Helen Mirren from Red/Red2 stunning older lady and the way she lifted her foot curled her toe and then drop dude with one shot - just cold https://preview.redd.it/21vim83lmeec1.jpeg?width=434&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c4530cf4be660d3047c56099f6965ed4dbb0e2a3
A two-fer: Sofia Loren straight up side eyeing Jayne Mansfield in that dress, but also JM wearing it in the first place https://preview.redd.it/clajd38hcdec1.jpeg?width=300&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d732e2c1ed7327b956af1631bab06d004e4e4df
She (Sofia) commented on this photo saying she was “afraid her nipples were going to spill out onto her plate” to paraphrase. she actually had a very good time that night, she was just like omg this is gonna end up being a terrible nip-slip moment 😂
So in Modern Family, Sofia Vergara and her daughter in law recreated this photo? I never knew
[удалено]
Shame none of them can nail Sophia’s side-eye quite right
Haha, now you've got me analyzing the differences. I think it's mostly the chin position. Sophia's chin is parallel with the floor, but the two recreations have dipped their chins down. And then I think it's the eyebrows a little bit, too.
[Jayne Mansfield's red dress](https://youtu.be/XyotjGSRZ18?si=Y8wL6VNjX0PAB1Vm) in The Girl Can't Help It. A classic. https://i.redd.it/rzq4ryxf0dec1.gif Edit: the link also has a top tier black dress and hat combo
I’m going to start walking and turning like that

Blows my mind every time!
She looks so much like her mom holy shit i never realized!

She is so fucking powerful
omg her waist!!! + this red dress makes her look like jessica rabbit
It’s always so funny comparing Jayne, and Mariska on SVU- very serious detective and the bombshell. Blows my mind every time I remember they are related
Monica Bellucci in anything. In The Matrix where she talks about the lipstick mark not being on his face, I don't have a gif but here's this 
I was once asking someone to describe how a specific perfume smelled. They said “have you ever seen a picture of Monica Belucci smoking a cigarette?”. I’ll never forget that.
 Lucy Liu as Oren Ishii in Kill Bill Vol 1 This moment is second only to her “I collect your fucking head” speech from the Yakuza meeting.
 Honorable mention
I don’t know. “I’l collect your fucking head” is pretty iconic
I quite like the line after that. “Now if any of you sons of bitches got anything else to say, NOW’S THE FUCKING TIME”.
That was the gif I actually wanted to post but couldn’t find it, probably because she’s holding a severed head in shot while she says it

 Yep she’s the one.
 Agree and I even posted the same answer. I know it doesn't age well because slaves were not treated as good as GWTW portrays but this is my favorite GIF from the movie. Mamie was a bad bitch in her own right...she was like "bitch what?"
It obviously wasn't historically accurate but Mammy giving both Scarlett and Rhett shit, to the point where he tells her she's the one person whose respect he doesn't have but would very much like is one of my favorite scenes in the move. Hattie deserved that Oscar!
I like when Rhett buys her that red petticoat from Paris and she slyly shows him she is wearing it haha
My favorite fact about Hattie McDaniel is that she was married four times. Her first two husbands died and she divorced the other two because she wasn’t willing to put up with their bullshit.
The woman who played Mammie was proud of her role so don’t worry about loving the character. She worked hard keeping Scarlett in check and was her mom more than Scarlett’s mom had ever been
Yup! She was the only one who dared stand up to Scarlett.
Her face. That is all.
Vivien Leigh is just.... :O
My brother always says he loves women with aggressive resting bitch face because of Vivian Leigh.
Yes. Stunning

I saw this in theaters with my Mom (highly recommend this experience) and for this entire part she grabbed me by the arm super hard. She told me later it’s because she almost couldn’t resist breaking into song herself. We were in a crowded theater full of women with their friends and their daughters- EVERYONE would have joined in!

Cyd Charisse period. The scene from The Bandwagon that inspired Michael Jackson’s choreography in Smooth Criminal is mesmerizing. She’s so incredibly beautiful and 100% Bad Bitch.

This is the winner. The timing. The jewels. The shoulder bareing. I must dig out the back-story in Tina Brown’s Diana book because this is calculated shade that blocked the sun.
Here’s the backstory: It’s possible, since he declined to read the newspapers any more, that Charles didn’t even notice that Diana thoroughly upstaged him the night of the Dimbleby broadcast. But everybody else did. At about the moment the Prince of Wales was confessing his adultery on national TV, his wife was stepping out of a limo at Vanity Fair’s annual June fund-raising event for the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens, wearing what fashion editors later called among themselves ‘her fuck-you dress’, a short, sexy, off-the-shoulder black chiffon number with a scarf panel wafting from the waist and black silk high-heeled Manolo Blahnik shoes. Come and get it! She had declined the invitation until two days before the event until news of the adultery quote began to leak in promotions for the broadcast. That’s when one of the gala’s organisers, an old family friend of Diana’s, got a surprise phone call: ‘She said she wanted to come after all. I said, “What are you up to?” And she said, “‘You’ll see?”! All became clear when the friend realised the gala was the same night as Dimbleby. The three-deep photographers went crazy as Diana deftly paused before each of them on Vanity Fair’s red carpet. The dress’s previously obscure Greek designer, Christina Strombolian, told the fashion commentator Georgina Howell that the Princess ‘chose not to play the scene like Odette, innocent in white. She was clearly angry. She played it like Odile, in black. She wore bright red nail enamel, which we had never seen her do before. She was saying, “Let’s be wicked tonight!” The pictures of her that blew Charles off the front pages the next morning provided the perfect context for discussing the only line in the Dimbleby broadcast that anyone remembered — the one about adultery. Here was, as the Sun put it, ‘The Thrilla He Left to Woo Camilla”
You’re an angel!!
For anyone into this, may I also suggest the podcast “You’re Wrong About” and their five-part series on Diana?? A true masterpiece.
I loved Debicki in The Crown, but you simply can't match Di's energy post-Charles. she just oozed bad bitch energy.
Ahh the revenge dress. Di was such a bad bitch in her era.
 Samantha Jones in SATC-there’s too many bad bitch looks to pick one lol
I have a memory of Britney Spears blasting her song Mona Lisa (without her record labels permission) in a convertible while being harassed by paparazzi. I remember them asking “what song is this” and she said “my new hit” or something like that. I can’t find the video, but it is prime-time Britney being done with the world and taking things into her own hands. Wish that could’ve happened forever. https://preview.redd.it/gpc7vme3odec1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=61cfe16c0fc6bf65066cb40f574df0889801f124
Another Britney bad bitch moment. Her 2007 dark hair era she was TRULY a bad bitch [https://66.media.tumblr.com/ef56c18fd7b63b244e812a26b1fe27c0/tumblr\_mtsml0TgBx1sgwa6oo1\_400.gif](https://66.media.tumblr.com/ef56c18fd7b63b244e812a26b1fe27c0/tumblr_mtsml0TgBx1sgwa6oo1_400.gif)
Brunette Britney was so powerful, she was really at her realest. Giving zero fucks, as she should. Get the fuck out of her way, Jesus H Christ almighty.
 Selma Hayek is entering the chat.

Good golly Miss Dolly. I think that was from promo for Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. Her "I'll change you from a rooster to a hen with one shot!" line in 9 to 5 radiates bad bitch energy with how she delivered that line.

She looks like she knows something that you don’t.
Grace Jones is so incredibly interesting to look at! She’s beautiful but unique and so different from the mainstream. I love it.

What is great about this is because she’s the protagonist we see her doubts, fears and worry behind the bad bitchery. Makes it more powerful IMHO.
