Born #OTD 1927: Janet Leigh


Discovered by Norma Shearer at a ski resort in the Sierra Nevada mountains, actress Janet Leigh graced this woeful world with her presence on this day, 97 years ago. Lo, here she stands, in an MGM publicity photo, her tresses artfully arranged, and attired in a simple yet elegant gown, its neckline most becoming. A brooch, fashioned in the likeness of a butterfly, adorns her necklace. Her visage, with a hint of a smile, betrays a soul both poised and composed, her gaze cast slightly askew. Verily, a paragon of versatility throughout her five decades in Hollywood, and a beauty of uniquely striking nature and classic form.
