Can't serious
all the time!
Mid-winter of 2013, I put up a boredom-induced, frivolous post titled
"Top 30 Blonde Bombshells." To my surprise it is my third-most viewed post ever. Now it's mid-winter 2016 and I'm again in the grip of ennui and old movies. Must be time for a silly follow-up list:
Buster's Top 50 Non-Blonde Bombshells. (Be sure to check out #50! Chronologically last on this list, but always #1 in my book.)
The same loose rules apply:
- It's totally subjective.
- It begins with actresses of the Golden Age and stops in the 1970's. Old school!
- It's limited to those with fairly high name recognition.
- She must generally be known as a non-blonde.
So, just for fun, and for whatever else it's worth . . .
