She became so embedded in our minds and hearts as Della Street.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-76805299878950346492013-03-21T07:32:46.063-07:002013-03-21T07:32:46.063-07:00Sorry.

It had a different arrangement and it worked fine in the nightclub setting.<br />Barbara is and always will be Della Street. That role ws perfect for her.<br />I never did understand why she want bigger in movies.<br /><br />Vienna's Classic HollywoodViennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907591161822012949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-67674231452895783982010-05-07T17:35:20.463-07:002010-05-07T17:35:20.463-07:00Glad you're back, great post!Glad you're back, great post!Lennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11428215710153875472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-64199483364398417342010-04-24T10:30:42.399-07:002010-04-24T10:30:42.399-07:00Thank you, Moira.

Roddy McDowall doesn't grow up to be Tyrone Power. However, I did own certain office attire that when my weight was managed I would head to work thinking that today I looked like Della Street."<br /><br />I love that. Thanks for a great post on a swell dame.Jacqueline T.
