Mamie Van Doren

Mamie Van Doren is a living thread back to a vanished Hollywood. Billed alongside Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield as one of the Three M's, she is the last surviving blonde bombshell of that era, and that alone gives her an almost mythic status. What I find genuinely admirable, though, is her refusal to become a museum piece. Decades after her Universal contract, she kept blogging and posting on social media, staying engaged and unapologetically herself. There is something inspiring about an icon who treats longevity as an act of defiance. I tip my hat to her endurance and her wit.
