Members SFK Posted March 14, 2011 Members Share Posted March 14, 2011 They're too casual/sandal-like for what she's wearing. Looks like shoes she may have worn while walking in and around the airport and would change once she got wherever she was going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted March 14, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 14, 2011 They look too beach-y to me. It's something you choose for a nice stroll along a beach pathway. Looking at the photo closely, perhaps that isn't a necklace, it's an upper, metallic part of the dress. I love bangles and I'm glad she's wearing a ton. In a way, it reminds me of Nan Kempner and Cat's comment how her bangles "jingled like wind chimes whenever she gesticulated" when Cat saw her at an auction.

Members YRBB Posted March 14, 2011 Members Share Posted March 14, 2011 Yep... too casual, clunky/chunky. Something more refined and/or formal would probably go best with the outfit. I think it's a necklace but one can't be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted March 14, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 14, 2011 Whatever it is, it looks fabulous. I love that sort of ancient jewellery, the first word that comes to mind is – Mayan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted March 14, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 14, 2011 Her Twitter pic is amazing too: BTW, she keeps mentioning Dianne Carroll. She means Diahann, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaytimeFan Posted March 14, 2011 Members Share Posted March 14, 2011 It is a necklace, it's either Alexis Bittar or Kenneth Jay Lane, she's worn it before...I saw it at Holt Renfrew (the Canadian luxury department store) a few months ago. Ahh okay, got it about the shoes. Joan was touring the Desert AIDS facility in Palm Springs, she hosted the Steve Chase Gala that night which benefits the facility, it raked in 1.3 million.

Members SFK Posted March 14, 2011 Members Share Posted March 14, 2011 It really is a beautiful picture. The color contrast. And YRBB, you made that happen in like 0 seconds flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted March 14, 2011 Members Share Posted March 14, 2011 Yes, the contrast, it's really breathtaking. Determination! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted March 14, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 14, 2011 What I've always found fascinating about Joan is that she was trained at RADA. At times I'm WTF?! – because I expect great actress schooled at RADA to be also great tragédiennes – but at other times, I'm not at all surprised. I love it that she's a RADA alumna.

Members DaytimeFan Posted March 14, 2011 Members Share Posted March 14, 2011 Has she ever played a tragic role? Like, ever? I don't think so. She's not just an alumna of RADA, she's the President of the Associates of RADA and gives a speech at graduation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted March 14, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 14, 2011 Yes, yes, I know she's the President. And no, she hasn't played it, but I'm just not sure her flamboyance and energy would mesh well with a tragic role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted March 14, 2011 Members Share Posted March 14, 2011 Joan didn't graduate from RADA however, she only went for a year, maybe just a semester even. She talks about it in that bio show they used to air on Ovation. She said she learned how to apply old age makeup and hair silver or something like that and that was about it. She upped and left for Hollywood. She also said that, no, she's never done Hedda Gabler or those other classic stage roles her contemporaries have all taken a shot at but that never really interested her anyway ("So I didn't do Hedda, well, I did Alexis").

Members Sylph Posted March 14, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 14, 2011 It seems as though those famous British drama schools aren't doing they job properly. Or at least so it seams. The accents are all over the place, the acting talent is mediocre. I've always wondered how come so many actors in Hollywood, and other places, aren't classically trained at all. Are drama school graduates that bad? Or 'unattractive'? Do they all go to do theatre? What's up with that? Sometimes I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
