  2. Tell Saint Peter at the Golden Gate you just hate to make him wait, but you gotta have just one more cigarette.

    1. Well, I'm a fella with a heart of gold,
      And the ways of a gentleman I've been told,
      The kind of a guy that wouldn't even harm a flea.

      But if me and a certain character met,
      The guy that invented that cigarette,
      I'd murder that sonofagun in the first degree.

      It's not 'cause I don't smoke myself
      - I don't reckon they'll harm your health -
      I smoked all my life and I ain't dead yet.

      But nicotine slaves are all the same,
      At a pettin' party or a poker game,
      Everything must stop while they have that cigarette.

  3. While her smoking apparently didn't shorten her life...she lived to the age of 89...it did age her appearance significantly.

  4. When smoking as cool and "sexy". As Dan said ages you faster.

  5. definitely a hottie in her own unique way, sure had a great way of flaunting it too, like Rita Haywood, kind of undefinable beauty which made them so attractive to watch. wonder how much coaching went on or was it just the age these ladies are from.

    1. Nothing undefinable about Rita Hayworth’s beauty….

    2. ahh, but the Devine Feminine! even the greats thru antiquity who painted and carved the classic female shape never completely describe it. and that is not a bad thing. just makes it more great to be a man.

  6. She's lucky to have lived when she did. Today that look merely suggests lower class and bad breath.
