Self Creations of the 50s, how and what type of self creations are possible for women?

Yes, one is sexy innocent charm. You want to hold her in your arms. The other yg pretty boyish gd looking girl, but not voluptuous. MM says, hi, you want to come talk w me?, and AH says, so, whats up? MM's pose is one that has stopped and about to move forwards, the accentuated S of the back, shows most weight was posed on the left leg, and right leg about to move. AH, is moving, not in a static pose, shes walking away but turns around to see whats up. She was a ballet dancer, back v straight. Thus she looks a bit more rigid/taut than an ordinary person. The 27yr old MM is more child like, her face is open, and AH at 23 younger, has seen stuff and she is wary.

Breakfast at Tiffanys, was a role written for Marilyn Monroe, but Hepburn was cast. And what a missed opportunity for MM. And for us! Such a great artist.
