Natalie Wood, Gypsy
One of the most beautiful actresses of all time was the wonderfully talented Natalie Wood. She never ceases to amaze me when I watch her movies – whether she was a child or adult, you simply cannot look away when she’s on the screen.
Today’s Pictures of the Day are stunning promotional photos from the colorful film Gypsy (1962).
