Old Hollywood

There is something about the era,
The appeal,
The allure,
The pure splendor and sophistication,
Like a wistful image that seems to transcend time,
Stars of the old cinema,
Who with refinement and class,
Are forever embedded in my mind.

But of all the beauties that graced the silver screen,
None compare to her who’s like a dream,
A vision of absolute perfection,
True glamour and flawless complexion,
A princess who was a queen.

Her charm,
Her natural grace,
The beautiful face that lit up a scene,
Sensually feminine and provocatively stylish,
With features that are timeless,
She was just simply stunning.

I may be an old romantic,
A nostalgic sentimental for the past,
But the truth is I have an admiration,
Respect and appreciation for old Hollywood,
For the glamour and the glitz,
That seems to last.

And though she went on to become royalty,
The girl from Philly and High Society,
Lived a fairy tale that will be told till the end of days,
Her image,
Her elegance,
That face,
That iconic figure,
Who truly lived up to her name,
Grace.
