The Official Suzy Parker Thread

I watched her just a couple nights ago in "The Best of Everything". She and Joan Crawford playing down the card supporting roles for Hope Lange as they all get used and cast aside by caddish men.

Her acting was just so-so. But like in her Twilight Zone episode, she looked great in that hard 50s way.

She wasn't as pretty as her sister

r1 "she looked great in that hard 50s way"

No, Melania Trump is hard looking. Suzy was beautiful.

My aunt had a thick head of hair like Suzy and followed these instructions to the letter in the 1950s. Looking back at old pictures, her hair always looked gorgeous.

Where did American glamour go?

R5 = Ann Miller

r6 You don't have enough hairspray bitch.

God, she was beautiful.

SJP should play her in her life story.

Her sister Dorian lived a life that was more interesting but definitely more tragic than Suzy's. They were estranged at the time of Dorian's death.

r10 Dorian brought her to Eileen Ford (the modeling agent giant) but it was Suzy is the who had that 'star' quality.

I NEVER knew they were sisters!

Just think, before long most of us will look exactly like her!

Gregg.....

I'd never heard of her. She is very beautiful. But has a "don't fuck with me!" look to her.

The Real Story is her sister Dorian. what a tragic life. she also did not attend Suzy , her sisters funeral as they were estranged.

Capote was fascinated by Dorian's lifestyle of non-stop men, coming-and-goings, and having a store across the street handle her phone calls (since there were no answering machines back in the early 1950s). He struck up a friendship with Dorian, and called her "Happy-go-lucky." Capote's character Holly Golightly in his famous 1958 novel Breakfast at Tiffany's is said to be largely based on Dorian's life, as well as socialite Gloria Vanderbilt's.

r9, no one considers SJP to be beautiful

He told her that he was entering the famous Mille Miglia car race in Italy on May 8, 1957 and Carroll was supposed to sign their divorce papers on May 9. Instead, on May 8, Dorian received a phone call from de Portago's mother Olga, informing Dorian that Fon's tire on his Ferrari race car had blown up because he did not stop in time for a tire change. Fon and his co-driver Edmund Nelson were mutilated and killed in a horrifying crash. When the tire exploded, he lost control of the car and killed 10-13 spectators, including several children. This catastrophe ended the Mille Miglia forever. Carroll did not sign any divorce papers since he was dead.

In 1972, Dorian became a born-again Christian at the urging of her sister Georgibell and her daughter Young. Living in Paris, Dorian studied at Le Cordon Bleu and opened her own restaurant, Chez Leigh, from 1973 to 1975. She tried to get cooking jobs in Corsica and Orleans as well. By 1976, Dorian was broke.

In 1977, Dorian received a phone call from the New York City modeling agency Stewart Cowley asking her to work as his office manager. Dorian agreed to return to New York where her son Kim was living. Kim's half-brother Anthony de Portago also lived in New York City and the two actually had become good friends. Dorian soon discovered that her 21-year-old son (Kim) was a serious drug addict, and sent him to live with her sister Suzy in California briefly. He was told to leave when it was discovered that he was continuing to use drugs in their home. Kim returned to New York City, and only six months after Dorian re-settled and reunited with Kim in New York, he jumped 33 floors from his apartment window to his death, leaving a suicide note behind. On March 6, 1990, Kim's half-brother Anthony died of AIDS.[23]

After Kim's death, Dorian lived in Pound Ridge, New York, where she made pâtés for delicatessens and specialty food shops, according to a profile in The New York Times by Enid Nemy. She also worked with Martha Stewart in the early 1980s.[24]

Dorian wrote two cookbooks, Pancakes: From Flapjacks to Crepes (1987) and Doughnuts: Over 3 Dozen Crullers, Fritters and Other Treats (1994) at the age of 77.

Suzy Parker?

I don't know her.

Suzy = close friend of Lena Horne's. Don't know how *close* but interesting.

The best read I've had in years.

Jean Patchett is my favorite model from that period

r21 That is probably Dorian. She was 15 years older than Suzy.

r24 Then start a Jean Patchett thread honey. She wasn't in Suzy and Dorian's league.

as a young gayling i hated her because she had brad and i didn't

She certainly lived quite a life r16.......

That Lisa Fonssagrives girl certainly gave out a certain attitude.....

R25, No. That's Dovima at R21.

Fire and Ice

Uma's mom!!!

Cherries in the Snow

That bitch made a lousy secretary.

My fav pic of Suzy.

Dorian showing how Lilli Ann put the pep in peplums.

Love this quote from Suzy:

[quote] I never starved myself either. I remember all the models eating raw hamburgers and living on codeine to keep up their energy. You never met a skinnier, meaner bunch of people.

Great bone structures, probably unimpressive sans makeup and great lighting. Such a different standard of beaury from today.

R16. yes, a very drama filled life. but also a very selfish life. she brought all these children into the world but did not bother to be a good mother for any of them. thats horrible. my parents were not great but they stayed together. provided stable home for us kids and made sure we went to school. helped us to buy our first cars and go to college. not alot of parents to that. i think the greatest achievement is when parents raise good kids. celebrities rarely are good parents, they are usually too selfish. they should never have kids.

So Parker pretty much retired? And focused on family?

I developed a crush on Bradford Dillman after he appeared on The Mary Tyler Moore Show playing Mary's architect boyfriend.

Florian Parker was said to be the most beautiful of the Parker daughters. Anyone know where there is a photo of her?

I was able to find one shot of her, coonected to her obit (1918-2010). From that, I wouldn't say she was the most beautiful of the sisters.

The woman couldn't act her way out of a paper bag, and her looks (which weren't all that) didn't make up for her lack of talent as a thespian. She sucked the oxygen out of every scene she was in, no matter what movie or show it was.

I'm not a Suzy Parker fan. I do think that a lot of the models back then were stunning, though.

r42 Here you lazy cunt.

Suzy was exquisite looking!

We're just not used to women in their 20s who are dressed, coiffed and made up to look like.....WOMEN, any more.

Plus , she actually ate real food.

" living on codeine to keep up their energy"

WTF? Codine puts you to sleep.

Suzy was divine!

Those hair setting instructions are weird. Women didn't use hair spray to set their hair, they used setting lotion. They are two different things and hair spray is used after the setting lotion has set the hair. Setting lotion takes a while to dry, hair spray dries quickly.

r51 Whatever they did is better than that stringy over processed mess women have today.

R52, that's your problem. You try sleeping on rollers, waiting for your sticky setting lotion to dry. See how you like it. Women have every right to wear their hair however they want to.

r39 - Agreed.

r53 r54 Ughhhh lesbians with men's haircuts.

Really r17? I've never heard that. I've only read that she was based on Marilyn Monroe and casting Hepburn in the movie was a radical change in the character. If Holly was based on Dorian, then Hepburn was the perfect choice.

Suzy Parker appears throughout the "Think Pink" musical number from "Funny Face".

She first appears at about the 0.43 minute mark.

I think the prevalent opinion is that she looked fabulous in anything she wore. Another dame who shared her lush, flame-haired beauty was sultry song stylist Julie London.

Julie was an absolute stunner. And that voice!

r59 My brother's father-in-law had a ringside seat to one of her performances and said her skin was terrible. This was the early 1960s.

Gossip columnist Doris Lilly was often said to be a model for Holly Golightly.

Yeah, well, we all know that Waldo was a major souse, so anything he might have said about Julie is highly suspect. By the way, when is his prison release date? Are there still law suits pending?

Suzy and Brad lived in lovely Montecito, CA where she was known as the (unofficial) mayor of Montecito. Apparently she was very happy being retired and enjoying family life, and was widely beloved.

r63 - My understanding was that she also packed on the pounds.

r64 No, she was supposed to stay model thin after four kids.

Suzy and Bradford

I remember Bradford in the way we were. he has not done acting for a long time. what does one do in santa barbara when your wife is gone for long time and you are almost 90?.. what do you do all day?

That's a sweet shot. She looks genuinely appreciative of hubby.

Anyone see him in A Rage To Live, where he's married to Suzanne Pleshette, who's fucking mouthwatering Ben Gazzara. You can,smell,him from the screen.

Did you see it in Smell-O-Vision r68? Anyhoo, very few women can rock an asymmetrical "do".

With his pheromones (or moans) there was no need for smell o vision!

So we know that Funny Face was somewhat inspired by Richard Avedon ("Dick Avery") and Suzy was in that montage (also Dovima?). I recently read that Suzy was something of an inspiration for the book -reading Hepburn character. Anyone else heard this?

Every woman in Truman Capote's life has claimed to inspire Holly Golightly.

Harper Lee claimed to be the source for Holly Golightly?

God, those women were so gorgeous. What the hell happened in sixty years?

Suzy with Gardner McKay and Robin Tattersall, by Richard Avedon.

With Jean Patchett and Dovima.

That one's a little too chichi for me, and you don't get the great Parker cheekbones, but thanks for the post.

"God, those women were so gorgeous. What the hell happened in sixty years?"

They hardly represent what the average woman looked like 60 years ago, any more than the supermodels of today represent what modern women look like

But it was a very different IDEAL back then. That's what's been lost in 60s years.

Wow, just read Dorian Leigh 's wiki. What a soap opera!

I remember reading this book in the 1970s as a young gayling. The Parker sisters were the high class version of the Kardashian trash.

There is no such thing as a high-class version of the Kartrashians.

Just before their wedding.

i would gladly stay home every day forever if brad would come home and fuck me every night

Bradford Dillman worked all the time.

While he did do movies, he appeared very, very frequently on TV.

Look at his list of credits on imdb.! He started in 1955, worked all through the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and into the 1990s

Brad and Suzy in "Circle of Deception" (1960). They met on the set, and apparently, sparks flew, because he would divorce his wife a few years later and marry Suzy. The way they look at each other in this picture, you can tell they're smitten.

Gardner McKay!!! Now there's a blast from the past!!! Wasn't he family? I remember some scandal surrounding him and I keep thinking he was very well endowed and had some nice dick pics.

What a gorgeous wedding pic. Thanks!

Funny how animated she is in photos, but not in films.

Since Dovima has been mentioned a few times, we would be remiss in not including this photo in the thread.

wow beautiful couple . i am still curious. what does someone do at age 87 in santa barbara when your beautiful wife is dead now for almost 15yrs.

Spectacular! I believe that Dovima was the beautiful and dimwitted Marion in Funny Face, the one posing in the studio with the abstract sculpture--"Itsaguchi!"--then in the bookstore.

R90, if you're still cognizant, you watch a lot of tv, and hope your kids, grandkids and great grandkids visit.

It's a long time since I saw her in Ten North Frederick, opposite Cooper. Any thoughts on the film?

"what does someone do at age 87 in santa barbara when your beautiful wife is dead now for almost 15yrs"

You ask your aide to take you to the toilet.

[quote]what does someone do at age 87 in santa barbara when your beautiful wife is dead now for almost 15yrs.

Hookers on speed dial.

You are correct R91. Dovima did play Marion in Funny Face. The linked pic at r21 is a publicity still from the movie with the black dress she was wearing. She stole the show IMHO.

Sunny Harnett

I think Donna was the prettiest Parker sister. Unfortunately she didn't have Suzy's luck in Hollywood.

r81 You got me there. I'm sorry now I even mentioned the Parker sisters in the same sentence as those awful Kardashians.

She is no Fiona Campbell Walter.

The Lady in Red.....

I love data lounge. there is always an answer. thanks!! (responses to what do you do at 87) my friends mom lives in santa barbara she is 92. not rich. but upper middle class. i just wonder what she does all day. he said the same. watch tv. .. seems so wastful. yea they see the grandkids but for just a few mins. cause they cant take all that excitement ... i am mid 50s. so just curious if there is anything to look forward to anymore,

Wow. Stunning. Thanks.

Sheer elegance. Although her career pre-dated the term, to me she was always the first Supermodel.

Is that Suzy or Dorian?

[quote]I think Donna was the prettiest Parker sister.

What about me?

r105 - Suzy

r106 - Darling, your modeling career never really went beyond sportswear. Also, today PETA would never allow your signature chapeaux.

I know 87 year olds who do yoga, swim, walk their dogs, visit their friends, play bridge, go to bars and have a nice glass of wine, and lots of other things. And they don't need help to go to the bathroom. Fuck off with your stereotypes.

Thank you, Diane Belmont. Nicely composed shot, but Suzy is sans cheek bones there! Lighting flattens them out. And don't get me started on fur!

She isn't ON fur in that shot r109, she's IN fur.

Eh, fer chrissakes r109. Ya want cheekbones?

Great gams!

Now THAT'S our Suzy!

Loves her, I does, but not even Suzy can make a go of this doofus bit of millinery.

Preparing for lift-off!

Dorian and Suzy - Modess.....because

Gorgeous shot, full of triangles, including the shape the two form.

Dorian was 5'6", Suzy, 5'10"

I'll bet Suzy is barefoot.

Eat your PVC heart out Barbie Roberts!

A Montecito matron in 1966

Here, r114, let Aretha show Suzy the way.

Boy how things change! A really different world today! I remember her in the Best of Everything with Joan Crawford..it was a time when women were glamorous...her thick auburn hair was really something. I think models I those days always maintained a level of glamor. The Black model Helen Williams was our Suzy Parker, always glamorous, well dressed and a bit aloof...beautiful women in those days were supposed to be...wish I knew how to post I'd post a photo of Helen Williams...if any of my brethren out there know how to do it please do.

Our Helen.

Probably my fave Suzy shot.

What I love is that she is not anorexic. Not so thin as to look sickly. Somebody that young girls could look at photos of without making themselves sick in an attempt to copy some bit of her.

Lovely hear not processed to death.

And the clothes. To die for.

That should read

[quote] Lovely hair not processed to death.

Sorry

123 - Ever since I was a kid, I I wanted to be that person who got paid good money to sit around and think up cool color names like that for lipsticks and nail polish.

Fabulous gown.

Suzy in Pucci

r128 - That's what I meant upthread when I wrote she looked fabulous in anything. From those spectacular gowns to sportswear. Hell, she'd be a knockout even in faux Jacques Marcel!

Helen Williams for Modess.......

Those gals may not have been anorexic but they were pushed and pulled and padded and trussed up in brassieres, corsets, waist cinchers, crinolines and garter belts in order to achieve the wasp-like shape those 1950s gowns required.

I'll admit I hadn't known of Helen Williams until now. So looked her up on google. What a beauty. "Is it just me," or is there a resemblance to the famous bust of Nefertiti?

That 50s eye makeup sure didn't do anyone any favors. But Suzy prevailed.

Sheer luck

What's her line?

Deb Messing bears a passing resemblance.

[R122] Thanks so much! Don't know how to post photos! She was beautiful and elegant! Thanks again![R132] Yes, she was a real beauty and like models of that era was always dressed to the 'nines' and super elegant. . We were so proud of her! Supposedly Lena Horne (of all beauties) saw her in a doctor's waiting room (I think) and told her you NEED to get into modeling...the rest as they say is history.

[R130} I may be wrong, but I don't think that Modess Ad is Helen Williams...she's pretty, but Williams had that sharp, keen, slim look...cheek bones, extraordinary eyes and that 'you can look, but no touch ' look of the late 50s early 60s.. LOL

I had no idea there were so many lesbians on DL.

Did Helen ever make it to Vogue or Harper's Bazaar or was she relegated to the "Negro" publications?

Stunning

[R140] To my knowledge she was confined to black periodicals...and print ads. That Ebony cover isn't one of my favorites...I 'm far from a fashion expert, but my preference of her was in wide hats and sweeping gowns...the lines worked better for her type/style. Boy seeing a photo of her in a wide hat typical of the 50s really made you pull your socks up...lol I think Naomi Sims may have been the first or perhaps it was Beverly Johnson. BTW, speaking of BJ Google Phil Donahue TV show features Supermodels in the 1980s..she is extraordinary...big hair, big gold earrings etc... but it was the Ronald Reagan 80s..Big Gulp Big Bite everything over the top...LOL..I didn't like her participation in the Cosby fiasco, but this is different.

Susie's daughter Pam, who's in her early 50s now, is also quite beautiful, but favors Brad more than her mom.

[quote] Susie's daughter Pam, who's in her early 50s now, is also quite beautiful, but favors Brad more than her mom.

Pamela Dillman is Bradford Dillman's daughter, but with his first wife. Suzy Parker was Pamela Dillman's stepmother.

That's because she's Suzy's stepdaughter, from Brads first marriage. The following is a bit sad:

When I was doing a google search for Pamela Dillman, I came across a newspaper article about someone of that name,and, a mug shot, who had, fortunately without disaster, in 2007, left her two young sons in a car that overheated in the sun.The kids were okay, but very groggy, rescued by a passerby. Pam was 47 then. I think she returned to the car 1/2 hour after the kids were found.

Bradford Dillman has written several novels in recent years.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Recent Sandra.

Suzy was gorgeous but it wasn't just that.

She was the iconic top model of the 1950s because the clothes, whether they were fabulous Dior gowns or Claire McCardell sportswear or Hattie Carnegie hats, just seem to grow out of her, achieving a total fabulous printed image. She became one with the fashions and the designers loved her for it.

r138 - Google has that photo as Helen Williams. Same with this one.

Top Negro Model Makes Debut in Paris

R136... Deborah Messing . is a mess and a COW. do not even mention her name on a suzy parker thread...........damn.that was dumb

Wow, well there's something for everyone. She was a big boned gal I guess. Not beautiful but good bone structure. That nose alone would keep you off pages today. And she does look hard, there's no other way to describe it. Models all looked 45 back then, in their twenties. Suzy Parker? She looks like an extra.

She was in a 1957 movie with Cary Grant called "Kiss Them for Me". Her acting is atrocious. Apparently Cary told the director. Stanley Donen, to not give her many lines but keep the camera on her. She is indeed beautiful but her acting is right on par with Madonna.

Kiss Them for Me is, theoretically, a comedy, I think. That's the hardest thing to do. She was ok in Best of Everything.

stanley Donen had an amazing house on forest knoll drive, where harvey levin used to live. i dont know if he still resides there

r156 - Were the ceilings low so Harvey would feel taller?

If you type in

Suzy Parker tribute

You'll find a youtube 8 minute video of images

It would maybe kill you to provide a link r158?

R157. harvey levin will never , never feel taller, he used to live close. thank god he is gone. just an annoying little troll

Fucque you. No good deed goes unpunished.

r153 Oh, do you mean like one of the current models in this decade? This model looks hard and just fucking bizarre and the nose, the nose!

R153 is full of shite. Nothing wrong with Suzy's nose!!! Compare it to horsey faced Gisele Bundchen and we'll talk....

R80 s pathetic white trash attempt to stink up what was a great thread. I hope you contract AIDS.

r164 I hope your mother gets cancer.

Girls, girls!!!

R164 you are on a gay site wishing people die of aids? my brother died a long terrible death from aids who dare you come on here and make statements like that. there are no words to describe what a truly horrible person you are

r164 Oh mommy, she just ruined the whole thing for me.

Anybody here remember the David Susskind show of decades ago?

I remember him interviewing the Fire and Ice Girl. I liked that moniker.

She seemed like an old lady to me. Maybe she was middle aged at that point.

He seemed smitten so I figured she was pretty hot when she and he were young. Guess it was Dorian when her book came out.

Suzy and Dorian circa 1953

God, what an era. Dorian and Suzy again.

What is with the "SJP" comments? For one, Suzy was in her 20s in that pic and SJP is 50-something. Silly to compare them.

r172 You're right. I think most of the posters are using SJP as a metaphor for the ugly times we live in. SJP represents the horrible, Bush-Trump years in her physical appearance where Suzy and Dorian represent the carefree, happy, and beautiful Eisenhower era.

No one ever held SJP up as a gorgeous woman, though. Stylish and well-dressed, but never considered the most beautiful woman on earth. And weird that the Eisenhower years would be seen as "carefree" on a gay board......have you guys ever heard of J. Edgar Hoover?

Okay, r174 was right. Different women. Different era. But Suzy Parker was gorgeous and one of a kind. I'll give her that.

[quote] 123 - Ever since I was a kid, I I wanted to be that person who got paid good money to sit around and think up cool color names like that for lipsticks and nail polish.

That's an actual job. Friend's friend in NYC makes very good money doing that - can't remember now for whom? But I was rather surprised at it and at her salary.

By coincidence, her longtime husband Bradford Dillman just died.

I am probably in the minority but I loved Bradford Dillman's character in "The Way We Were". For me, he was the best thing about that movie.

That role was more poignant and he was much more interesting that the boring, vacant Redford and the strident Streisand.

RIP Mr. Dillman. Photo taken by Suzy Parker.

Boy oh boy oh boy...

she was the original super model and until she was an elder

she remained the most beautiful woman in the world

her allure was legendary....

miss u suzy, our walks down by the river were divine.....

What would Suzy think of our Kardashian/ Melania Trump culture. today?

r162 She would say they are two fugly bitches with too much makeup.

Do you think we will ever have beauty in fashion again?

I always get Suzy Parker confused with Suzy, the woman who was the daughter of an actor in the golden age of Hollywood and she started posting here years ago when she was convalescing after an illness or operation or something. I realize there's nothing in common but a name, but these folks are all well before my time so they live in Dataloungeland for me.

R69 My mother says women who wear asymmetrical "do"s are sluts.

(Just like Freud says Freud women who wear red are sluts.)

I, of course, have no opinion on the matter because I am a man with NIL interest in females.

r185 Don't be confused darling. We're talking about the fabulous 1950s mode/actress, Suzy Parker.

r196 Well, we shall speak to the institutions who allow the patients computer access.

I think the English mannequin Margaret Vyner much more more appealing than this undernouished American shiver of ice.

Cole Porter included Margaret in one of his songs.

r189 Oh please, poor Margaret can't compare to an American beauty like Suzy. Nice try though.

Suzy sucked the heat out of every scene. She was as cold as Dana Wynter, Dina Merril and the appalling Tippi Hedren.

I have a good friend (str8 male) who has been close friends with Suzy's son Christopher since they went to college together. He said Suzy was a sweetheart and very chatty whenever he called the house to talk to Christopher (this was slightly before everybody had cell phones). He said Christopher hated Janice Dickinson for saying she was the original super model.

R191 Dana Wynter and Dina Merrill are the same person, aren't they?

R191, NO ONE is as cold as the appalling Tippi Hedren.

Yes, R189. AND Maggie won the Preakness!

I worship Suzy Parker. The Goddess of all goddesses.

R194 That hopeless Hedren was as wooden as a walking-stick.

And they produced a daughter who was just as hopeless.

Bradford Dillman was so good looking as the scientist in Escape From The Planet Of The Apes(1971).

R123 Suzy is definitely saying, "Thursday" in that pic!

R123 Cripes, wrong paste. "SAY THURSDAY!"

I just learned that in 1958 Suzy was in a car accident in which she broke both arms, and her father was killed. In Florida.

There will never, ever be another Suzy.

r202, the Kardashian don't "rule" anything except reality tv. But given your tendency to whine about "millennials" you are probably a barely literate Republican. Btw, Gen Xers probably don't even have a clue who she is, either.

r203 Well, the Gen Xers should. Of course, when Suzy reigned we lived in a world of class and dignity which has sadly been lost. God, you're pathetic.

r203 Trash!

r204 and r205 - what the fuck would you know about dignity? You're just a couple of old, grouchy Republicans making snide comments about young people (because you don't understand anyone under the age of 98). I guess you think the world was more "dignified" when sodomy laws were on the books and people went to jail for being gay. That's typical of Log Cabinettes. Maybe you can find a better hobby than wishing you were some old "diva" (who wasn't even talented or good at anything except posing) - guys like you are why the world thinks gay men want to be women.

r206 Have you been shopping lately? They're selling lives, you should go get one.

Suzy and Diana Dors get it on!

The witch that came (the withered hag)

To wash the steps with pail and rag

Was once the beauty Abishag,

The picture pride of Hollywood.

Too many fall from great and good

For you to doubt the likelihood.

Die early and avoid the fate.

Or if predestined to die late,

Make up your mind to die in state.

Make the whole stock exchange your own!

If need be occupy a throne,

Where nobody can call you crone.

Some have relied on what they knew,

Others on being simply true.

What worked for them might work for you.

No memory of having starred

Atones for later disregard

Or keeps the end from being hard.

Better to go down dignified

With boughten friendship at your side

Than none at all. Provide, provide!

The girl is so beautiful

That fail I to forget her,

A beauty so lovely and harming

And so attractive.

As such, as such that want I to impress a kiss

On the fair and lovely cheeks of hers,

A girl so fairly white and beautiful.

Even if she went away, I couldn’t, couldn’t her,

A girl standing before not,

Passing through and eyeing,

So lovely and attractive to see

And glance at,

Never seen,

Never assessed.

R206 Thank you!

r207 = fantarding over a dead female celeb puts you firmly in the "needs a life" category, it probably also means people realize you are gay the second they meet you.

r212 I'll vomit now. Suzy was pro-gay before it was even a topic. How dare you put that hag Kim on this thread.

r213 Go fuck yourself you fat little troll living in mommy's basement. You would give your short little arm to look like Suzy. Your generation is a pack of losers and you're damn jealous.

suziy Parker lived at 444 e 57th st ny, same building as Marilyn Monroe in the 50 s before she married Dillman. She lived in the penthouse and Marilyn lived on the 13th floor. Talululah Bankhead moved in to 447 e 57th in early 1962. I often wonder if Marilyn ever ran into these 2?

r214, you're the one living in mommy's basement. I don't WANT to look like a woman because I'm not a girly little thing like you. For such an elderly person, you sure seem juvenile. The last time "You're just jealous" was a great argument technique was when you were in fifth grade (back in 1895). Your generation is a pack of losers, go back to your Trump rally you sad Log Cabinette.

r216 I'm only twenty-six and had never heard of her, so I did my research. R214 was right: she was gorgeous and very smart. You must be some old jealous dyke or some ugly MTF. I'm probably of your generation so your pathetic argument doesn't hold up.

Not really r204. People were just able to hide things from the public better. Today’s quick access social media can expose a celebrity scandal in milliseconds. And there’s so many books out now about the actions of celebrities from back in the day that I find it impossible to look at them the same way. I am not necessarily talking about Suzy, but other famous people from the “past” that have feet of clay.

217, you sound like you are 4, not 27. Grow up. You also sound like a homophobic Republican if you think "dyke" is an insult.

Brad and Suzy s house is for sale in Montecito calif. Its a George Washington mansion, but its an original and a bit run down in my opinion. It has been on the market quite a while and has had several price drops which is unusual for a G Washington house,,,,,,,, Suzy was extremely happy to be married to Dillman and he told her in the 60 s she didnt have to work any more. They had several kids and most of their kids turned out very well as adults, which says something about them. Dillman came from an uppper middle class family in Northern calif and was heavily into golf and was very preppy before preppy became a thing. In reading up on the Dillmans they appeared to be an extremely happy couple and family. As to what Brad did after Suzy died, he probably played a lot of golf and Im sure he still had friends in Montecito as they lived there from around 1965 on.............also it helps when you have kids and grandkids to come visit you.
