CAMP: This week in CAMP: Post 4: Liz Taylor Noel Coward in Boom, Barbara Cartland, Jimmy James as Marilyn, Buster Crabbe




Posted by Picasa1.  Elizabeth Taylor oozed camp appeal in a 'patio outfit' with Noel Coward in BOOM. A film that has to be seen to be believed. Liz is living on an exotic island reciting her autobiography to a tape recorder. Noel plays The Witch of Capri. Richard Burton is 'death' trying to get to her:  2:  Glamorous eccentric Barbara Cartland and her dog look alike in this shot of the Romance Novelist. 3: Gorgeous Jimmy James was the best female impersonator of Marilyn Monroe. He sang live in his own shows and appeared famously on Donahue, leaving the audience aghast at his superb channeling of the eternal sex goddess. 4: Olympic Gold Medal swimming champion Buster Crabbe appeared in many 30's and 40's movies and matinee serials including Flash Gordon,  Buck Rogers, Tarzan and Billy the Kid.  A real hunk and a very well liked actor, seen here in 'futuristic' tight shorts.

  1. Yes Boom is camp, but admit it...wouldn't you love to dictate your autobiography that way??
