I married well. But before that:—

At the age of thirteen or so, I fell madly in love with Elizabeth Taylor (she's a few months younger than I am) when I saw her as the doomed friend of a young Jane Eyre (Jane was played by Peggy Ann Garner in the 1944 movie), then in Lassie Come Home and National Velvet. My Gawd, she was a beautiful little girl! And then she growed up some!

Audrey Hepburn. Need I say more?

Diana Rigg, with or without the cat-suit. That was awhile back, but she just gets better.

By the way, has anybody seen a picture of Judi Dench when she was young? Here she is when she was in her twenties (she's the one wearing the tiara), and another at age thirty-three. Reminds me a lot of a girl I knew in high school. . . .

There are others less well known, but I can't supply photos because they're only in my memory.
