Megan Fox, not half as sexy as Gloria Grahame
I know perfectly well that if I did not have my physique I would not work in the cinema
For some time now, all movie fans (not necessarily moviegoers, that endangered species), or rather American cinema (they don't see other movies, don't be fooled), especially if their age is between 13 and 25 years old (although the age is not restrictive), does not stop giving the ember based on good with a certain girl from Rockwood, Tennessee, actress, or something like that, of two Michael Bay movies that have made a lot of money between teenagers from half the world.
Just turned 35, this girl happens to be one of the best-known actresses on the planet. She has been on the cover of countless magazines, making good use of the extraordinary appeal that God has given her, and she is considered by many to be the sexiest actress on the planet. And, well, she may be. No one can deny that she is very attractive and very catchy on camera. However, it is clear that this girl is going to be a short-lived "queen for a day."
The Fox (the last name also has a marine joke, and even more would have had it if it was called Foxy, ironies of life) rose to fame with what is surely the best film directed by the useless Michael Bay, and this probably because it is It was produced by Steven Spielberg, who you can tell, don't tell me no, a little his hand and good work. Before, she had done a bit of everything, and had even looked great in the funny series 'Two and a Half Men', in which, in case anyone doubted it, she was a good girl.
In fact, in the role of her, they could have put any stripper, or a go-go, and you would not have noticed the difference. Because, let's face it, this girl is not an actress. It is highly unlikely that she will ever play an interesting role in her life, because she is so limited. Spectacular, yes, no one denies that. She looks like a lost porn star who, luckily, has ended up making movies for all audiences. And sexy too. But the term sexy cannot only be applied to heart-stopping brunettes. I think it's something else.
Because by sexy is also understood, I say, elegance, personality, look. Fox has amazing eyes, but she cannot compete in that, or in everything else, with a beauty who was also a formidable actress, the Californian Gloria Grahame. It's like comparing "Saving Private Ryan" to "The Thin Red Line." There is no possible comparison.
Gloria Grahame, fascination
I compare them because both are sexual icons of their time, but there are icons and icons. And I don't think Fox deserves so much hype and so many covers, and it seems that every time she speaks she raises the bread, when she knows where she will be in five years. However, Grahame has already been the history of cinema since her wonderful appearance in one of the best films of all time: ‘How beautiful it is to live!’ (Capra, 1946).
She was 23 years old then, like Fox now, when we all fell in love with her, in that role of a girl a little lost, but with a heart of gold, who in the parallel existence of George Bailey ends up being a random whore fighting to maintain her dignity . And she could compete with Fox in attractiveness, within the aesthetic canons of 63 years ago. I still remember her walk and how George stares at her, and her friends. It was not be for lowerly.
Grahame had a short life, 57 years, cut short by a fatal stomach cancer that killed her in a sudden way. She had already won the Oscar for her superb role in the no less superb 'Cautivos del mal' (Minnelli, 1952), as best supporting actress, an award that could have been easily won for her contributions to 'In a lonely place' (Ray, 1950 ) or 'Los bribed' (Lang, 1953), in which he not only contributed his great talent, but also an indescribable beauty, elegance and truth.
But of course, not all beautiful girls have that talent. Other talents I don't doubt they have.
