Now that all the polls are out, I finished adding all the films and here's the complete list of the movies submitted as propaganda for @hotvintagepoll :
There are 946 movies on the list, but there were some I could not find on letterboxd that are missing (sorry).
On browser mode/the computer you can Control F to find a specific actress. On mobile or browser you can sort by language, genre, date, etc.
Letterboxd tells you when applicable where you can stream/rent/buy the film as well! (This is not an ad for letterboxd I swear)
Anyone can dm me if there are any mistakes and I'll fix them asap!
I'll share the disclaimer again just in case: these movies are chosen by whoever submitted them and do not mean they are suggested by @hotvintagepoll. I tried to put warnings for really offensive elements on the movies I've seen/could think of but I'm definitely forgetting some and will gladly add warnings on movies that need them (dm me for anything I should add)!
Happy watching!
Orson Welles.

Lana Turner, 1942
“It’s interesting that Mother never thought of herself as beautiful. To her, the great beauties were brunettes. Dark was beauty, while women like herself and Betty Grable were bubbly, popular, and pretty, but not beautiful. The epitome of beauty to Mother was Hedy Lamarr. She was so impressed by an entrance Hedy made at Ciro’s, glamour personified and wearing a single diamond on her forehead at her widow’s peak. Years later Mother was still impressed, telling me she had never seen anyone look as manificent in her life. Nevertheless, Mother didn’t do badly with what she had.”
