Remember When We All Wanted To Look Like This, Girls?????????? And Some Of Us Were Fortunate Enough To, Then????????????


                                     The person in question is actress Sue Lyon, best known for her debut performance in the title role in Stanley Kubrick's 1962 film version of Vladimir Nabokov's controversial novel, "Lolita," which made its lead character, Humbert, Humbert, the epitome of "dirty old man," and may have introduced the concept of pedophilia to American readers.

                                      Lyon, who died on December 26, at the age of 73, had a limited career, never being able to overcome her nymphet stage.  Her next best portrayal came two years later, in the 1964 John Huston film version of Tennessee Williams' "The Night Of The Iguana," where she played recalcitrant school girl Charlotte, whom Grayson Hall (Oscar nominated here!) portrayed repressed lesbian school mistress, Miss Judith Fellows.

                                          Sure, Lyon may have been a footnote in film history, but what a footnote.

                                           May she rest in peace.  No nymphets like her today, who can blend innocence and sexuality.

                                            Because they have much too much of the latter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
