I keep my family out of my public life because it can be an awful nuisance to them. What’s my mother going to tell strangers anyway? That I was a cute baby and that she’s terribly proud of me? Nuts. Who cares? - Montgomery Clift

“The big job in one’s life, it seems to me, is finding out what is important to you and what isn’t important. It’s a major tragedy to race after things you neither want or need.”

Congrats to the ultimate winner of the Hot & Vintage Movie Women Tournament, Ms. Eartha Kitt! She has conquered all 540 women before her and has been crowned the hottest of them all. May she glory in her well-earned victory in the glow of the sun forevermore.

All previous contestants are now banished below to the shadow realm, to celebrate with their upside-down dances in the depths of the earth.

I want to thank everyone for their support of the blog these last couple months and all the amazing propaganda—I've learned so much about all the hot women and had so much fun reveling in, lusting after, making fun of, fangirling about and falling in love with these hotties with you. I'll write a longer post later, but before we close out the women's tournament—this is all because of you!

Thank you and goodnight. Purrrrrr.
