  1. Hello there....i would love to see pictures of Joan in the 1950s wearing 1950s dresses...there is hardly any on the entire internet....would i be able to find anything here?
    Its as if she never actually wore them...its so rare to find Joan wearing the normal female attire of the 1950s.

  2. Did you know that Patricia's father was an Mi5 agent during WWII. His codename was Snow and his messages were used to make the first British break through in the German Enigma code. He was the first double agent in Mi5's double cross system controlled by the twenty committee. By the end of the war Mi5 controlled evry German agent in Britain through this system. Patricia lived with this knowledge but couldn't tell anyone for fear that her father might be killed. If the press found out it could have been the end of her career.

  3. Thanks for the messages very interesting.. I think Joan preferred the jeans and a shirt look in the 50's even in Hollywood. it was the latter end of the 50's when she went in for grooming.. will look out for 50's shots! mark.x
