“The Last Picture Show is a 1971 American drama film directed by Peter Bogdanovich, adapted from a semi-autobiographical 1966 novel of the same name by Larry McMurtry [genius!].”

from another blog:
“The Movie: Set in the ’50s desolation of Anarene, Texas, Peter Bogdanovich’s 1971 coming-of-age film The Last Picture Show stars Cybill Shepherd as Jacey, a manipulative teenager from an oil wealthy family. Clad in plaid, she’s the prettiest girl around, shallow, bitchy, a little slutty and terminally bored with her small town life.

The Style: Jacy wears pleated shorts, knotted shirts, ankle socks, saddle shoes

and listens to Hank Williams while making out in cars, movie theaters, seedy hotel rooms, and is eventually seduced by her bitter mother’s lover atop the local pool table. Batting her eyelashes in a cute gingham frock and attending a mid-winter pool party with the fast, rich crowd, Jacy attempts an awkward, giggling striptease on a diving board. While exposing beige stockings, garters and some serious white underwear, Jacy succeeds in making granny-pants sexy with her impulsive, paradoxical style”.


Also, Cloris Leachman as  as 40 year old Ruth Popper,

who prefers lovers half her age!

“Too Young to Kiss is a 1951 comedy film directed by Robert Z. Leonard and starring June Allyson. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Art Direction.”

June Allyson portrays a 22 year old pianist, who assumes the identity of a 14 years old girl prodigy in order to get noticed, complete with bobby socks, Mary Jane shoes, and pigtails!

Note:     June Allyson’s used clothes at the consignment store fit mom perfectly!

Also, don’t miss “The Major and the Minor” where 30 year old Ginger Rodgers poses as a 12  year old girl!

Gale Storm was in a similar movie.

Both of these movies have been reviewed previously in this blog.
