Throwback Tuesday: Kay Thompson

 

Kay Thompson, (picture from the musical Funny Face ), was a charming actress, author, and singer. I absolutely LOVE her in Funny Face! Her comedic expressions and classic style of acting make it highly enjoyable! She, Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn were great co-stars. She is also the author of the Eloise books!

"Let's give 'em the old pizazz!"

 

"Lettie, take an editorial! "To the women of America...!" No, make it to the women everywhere. "Banish the black, burn the blue, and bury the beige. From now on, girls, think pink!""

Throwback Tuesday: Funny Face

 Dick Avery: When I get through with you, you'll look like... What do you call beautiful? A tree. You'll look like a tree. 

Funny Face is one of my favorite Audrey Hepburn movies! It is full of laughs and sweet music!

Frankly dear, your modesty reveals to me
Self-appraisal often makes me sad
And if I add, your funny face appeals to me
Please don't think I've suddenly gone mad

You've got all the qualities of Peter Pan
I'd look far before I'd find a sweeter pan

I love your funny face
Your sunny, funny face
Though you're a cutie with more than beauty
You've got a lot of personality for me

You fill the air with smiles
For miles and miles and miles
Though you're no Mona Lisa
For world's I'd not replace
Your sunny, funny face

I love your funny face
Your sunny, funny face
You're not exotic but so hypnotic
You're much, too much
If you can cook the way you look

 

I'd swim the ocean wide
Just to have you by my side
Though you're no Queen of Sheba
For world's I'd not replace
Your sunny, funny face
