Time to go back to the 1930s, still co-champ of best fur-film-decade with the 1980s. Sadly overlooked by generations who cannot conceive of a time when they couldn’t turn their noses up at black-and-white film because that is all there was. Angel not only is from the 30s but stars one of the top fur… Read More Furs on Film – Angel (1937)
2021 Fixed-ish. Honestly can not remember if this was the shot or not, but it is a nice one. I’ll check back in another decade to update this embed when it dies too. Getting more search traffic to this blog with terms related to Marlene Dietrich… Wonder why? Oh, right, the wonderful ease it is… Read More More Dietrich, More Fur
Comments on the last post got me thinking a little harder about my favorites, so I decided to try and get them down, all official-like. So here is my entirely subjective personal opinion on the top 12 fur-wearing actresses of the last 80 or so years (mainly minus the last 20 since they… sucked).

Not sure I’ve mentioned this… oh, yes, I have… but I’m a big fan of this scene from Shanghai Express and continue to wait patiently for TCM to show the film, which used to air almost every freaking month, again. Ironically this publicity shot provides a much clearer view of exactly how much fur “isn’t”… Read More Dietrich in Fur – Shanghai Express
Originally uploaded by Truus, Bob & Jan too! So, the blog survived another major WordPress update. Since the blog is technically about fashion I thought maybe a change of “clothing” was in order, so I kicked in the latest “official” theme and messed around with the background and masthead image. Presented today is Miss Marlene… Read More Paramount Postcard of Marlene Dietrich in Fur
I’d say I’m starting this series out on an easy one, but that’s the point. Marlene Dietrich is one of those figures who is quite clearly associated with furs. Her on screen fur wardrobe is stocked with classics. This list is not meant to be exhaustive. I’m concentrating on films I have clips from, and… Read More Fur Super Star – Marlene Dietrich
