The Classic Dames Test

I saw this posted in the blog of one of my cousins. She got Katharine Hepburn. I wanted to take it, not only because I am filled with ennui (as usual!) BUT anything with classic dames and men, I'm up for! I took this quiz twice because there were some questions in which I'd definitely choose two answers for.

Carole Lombard
You scored 14% grit, 28% wit, 38% flair, and 33% class!

You're a little bit of a fruitcake, but you always act out in style. You have a good sense of humor, are game for almost anything, but you like to have nice things about you and are attracted to the high life. You're stylish and modern, but you've got a few rough edges that keep you from attaining true sophistication. Your leading men include William Powell, Fredric March, and Clark Gable. Watch out for small planes.

Please! Who doesn't love Carole Lombard? She was one of the great comediennes of film in the 1930s and early 40s. Sadly, she died in a plane crash while on tour selling war bonds. She was the kookiest thing in her movies and I always enjoyed her antics!

Myrna Loy
You scored 14% grit, 38% wit, 23% flair, and 40% class!

You are loaded with a quirky kind of class that people find irresistable. Men turn and look at you admiringly as you walk down the street, and even your rivals have a grudging respect for you. You usually know the right thing to say, do and, of course, wear. You can take charge of a situation when things get out of hand, and you do it with great poise and chic. Your wit and sense of fun endear you to your partner and every other man in the room. Your screen partners include William Powell and Cary Grant. You're quite a catch...if you want to be caught.

I Do want to be caught! I do!!! Oh, Myrna Loy! I remember waking up at 3am just to watch her in a movie called, "Thirteen Women." She played an "Oriental" out to get revenge on 13 girls that made fun of her in school, or tormented her. Something like that.

What is so great about Carole and Myrna is that they could keep up with whatever man they were playing against. They were just as quick, just as smart...perhaps even more! But, they kept their sensitivity and their femininity. They could be zany and sophisticated, vulnerable and acutely aware. Great, great actresses. They were able to do both drama and comedy. My kind of actresses!
