Rita Moreno

After her iconic turn as Anita in West Side Story, Rita Moreno spent a decade turning down roles that tried to pigeonhole her as a sexy spitfire. Her hairstyle for the film, though, still signals bombshell appeal.

Billie is an interesting one. Beautiful and blessed with those pipes, but her life story is threaded with addiction and depression. I wish someone would make a biopic. Just curious, have you read any of Marilyn's biographies? Talk about a misunderstood woman.

Annie, not really! Most people usually idolize Marilyn or Audrey, and although those ladies sure were charming, I don't find them that inspirational. I guess that's why I liked this slide show so much, you girls went beyond the clichés. I especially loved seeing Billie Holiday here, but I'm such a fan of her voice, I think even if she had the most hideous hairstyle in the world I'd still like it!

Thanks, Rigor Mortis. You have a favorite '50s icon?
