Rock Hudson

Icon Tuesday. Tuesday’s fragility… Tuesday’s Rock Hudson

His seductive and powerful physique hid most of his life a sensitive frailty. A star with his own light in the firmament of the big stars, not only for his professional achievements but for his troubled personal life.

His superb role in “Giant”, next to Liz Taylor, earned his only nomination for an Oscar in Hollywood.

Personally i’ll keep his memorable comedies with Doris Day in my mind.

Doris Day

Tuesday’s icon. Tuesday for comedy… Tuesday for Doris Day.

Three comedies: “Pillow Talk” , “Lover Come Back” and  Send Me No Flowers”, all of them performed together with Rock Hudson and in which she played an innocent woman, warm, a bit childish… but with a touch of glamour.

A series of comedies that frame her career and that we will always remember.

Rodolfo Valentino

Tuesday´s icon.Tuesday for a  Latin Lover…Tuesday of Rodolfo Valentino

With a height of 1.80 m, a seductive,exotic manly bearing and an intense gaze,he became the desire on the crazy 20s

Elevated to the category of great myth and the first ¨Latin Lover¨on cinema

This photograph of James Abbe with Natasha Rambova has always seem impressive to me.

Spencer Tracy

Tuesday´s icon. Tuesday of goodness, honesty and naturalness.

Not in vain called ¨The prince of non-actors”, for his naturalness to act.

Spencer Tracy had a difficult personality, but that  did not stopped us to keep in our memories  all the comedies that he made with Katherine Hepburn, with whom he had a long and not very secret  relationship .

Personally i never get tired of seeing them.
