Yes, you've got it - but not Dean really - Victor Mature certainly and Castellotti - Musso too. And Ramon Novarro and Rudolf Valentino of course. George Raft I suppose as well!

I regret to say it's not mine, but I'm damned if I can remember where I heard the expression.

Should we start a F1's greatest Vaselino thread?

I totally agree. How can we dispassionately discuss a subject as serious as this without the evidence?
My vote? They're all lovely.

What's WRONG with you people?

Elga Anderson. (Lisa Belgetti in Le Mans) No contest. That fragile beauty. That aura of hurt. Those eyes....

Or the "policewoman" from Daze of Blunder.

Now, if we could just get Catherine Zeta-Jones to appear in a remake of Winning.... Or anything, really.

Apparently a film is being made of Evelyn Waugh's "Vile Bodies".

How about Helena Bonham-Carter in a Bugatti at the races in Ireland?

Why would you want to remake Winning? Lelani Munter,a NASCAR driver has been a stunt double for CatherineZJ.

After skimming this thread when it first got started, it not being a topic high on my list of interests and having other things to do, I failed to catch the introduction of the material which Bira correctly excised. Had Bira not done it, I would have had I been paying closer attention.

I an generally very lenient and tolerant about what goes on here mostly because TNF is pretty much both self-policing and a bit more mature about how it goes about things.

As pointed out, there are other places for some things than here.

Just noticed an odd coincidence here.The actress who played the 'policewoman' in Days of Thunder was a Leilani Sorrelle (now Ferrier) She also appears in the even more awful 'Checkered Flag' made the same year (1990)

Another odd thing...reading through Simon Moore's 3 volume epic 'The Legendary 2.3', he mentions that the very lovely Julia Louis-Dreyfus is the grand-daughter of 'Helde' of Le Mans fame (aka Pierre Louis-Dreyfus) - a connection I had never made. Maybe they could get her to be the Hon Dorothy Paget or something if they ever remade that Full Throttle telly programme?

So how about film actresses who actually raced?

Here's a link to a photo of Jacqueline Evans who competed in the Carrerra Panamericana a few times:

Sadly she was killed at her last attempt. A welsh lady by birth, I recall a TV documentary in which her daughter goes to Mexico to trace her roots.

A reasonable assumption, I would have thought...

I don’t think Jacqueline Evans can have been killed in a race, the movie bios list her as dying in Acapulco in 1989 when she would have been 75 years old. She appeared in the Tom Hanks film ‘Volunteer’ as late as 1985. She was also a star of Mexican soaps

I can vaguely remember seeing a few minutes of a Welsh language version of the documentary you mention, this was playing in a bar or a hotel lounge so I didn’t get a chance to sit down and watch it. I got the impression it was a mixture of fact and fantasy? I’m glad someone else has seen this because I was beginning to think I’d imagined the whole thing!

Jacqueline Evans’ Porsche in the 1954 Carrerra certainly had one of the most interesting paint schemes with it’s portrait of Eva Peron on the bonnet.

As someone who is now claiming Ken Tyrrell as being Welsh on the back of the revelation in Hamilton’s biography that his mother was from Pembrokeshire, I cerainly hope that the colourful Ms Evans is a compatriot!

Re;Jacqueline Evans seems I have made a mistake. She did die in Mexico,but in 1989 at the age of 75. The lady I was thinking of who died in the 1951 Carrera,was a Katharin Jones,believe it or not two welsh women in the same race. Her daughter took part in the 1989 Carrera retro event.

Thanks KJJ I checked the IMDB site myself last night and thought I was gong mad. I still have tape of part of that documentary and checked it out this morning. Do you know any more welsh lady racers?

I suppose Hollywood might... but it would be like cheering up the Seaman story with a happy ending - "the very lovely Julia Louis-Dreyfus" would not make a very convincing Hon Dorothy Paget.

Ever seen a photo of the Hon. Dorothy????...

I hadn't, but I had read that she was not quite the looker. But no-one is allowed to be ugly in movies unless they're the baddie and sometimes not even then.

I am inclined to be sympathetic to The Hon. Dorothy Paget.

I read somewhere that she was totally infatuated with Sir Henry Birkin; I suspect that Birkin may well have used this to his advantage.....

I further understand that after Birkin's death she became very depressed and began to eat on a gargantuan scale.

I have searched for this information but have so far been unable to find confirmation.
