"Remember, nobody smiles doing housework but those ladies you see on TV.
Your mommy hates housework. Your daddy hates housework, I hate housework too. And when you grow up, so will you. ...
Children, when you have a house of your own, make sure, when there's house work to do, that you don't have to do it alone. Little boys, little girls, when you're big husbands and wives, if you want all the days of your lives to seem sunny as summer weather make sure, when there's housework to do that you do it together!"
-- excerpt from Housework, Carole Channing, Free to Be You and Me

| Original photo - Katharine Hepburn
There were several photos of Katharine Hepburn playing sports,
tennis and golf, even shooting a gun. But this is a fun photo. She's wearing a gown while apparently throwing a man across the room. Related Pages of Interest: Our beautiful idols had to exercise too. Hoping these photos will be of interest and serve as some inspiration. For equal time a photo page of male stars of the era working out will be next when enough pics are gathered. It's too bad that, when putting together a photo spread like this, one in good humor in a particular scenario, images of minority actresses such as those who are African American, are very hard to find. We have just so much time and available resources but always try to be inclusive and open-minded. |
