My Grandmum Vivian, because she’s every bit as glamorous and gorgeous as the movie stars of her time, and she never let her age interfere with her selfimage! She made the best wisecracks and had the most adorable laugh!
Lauren Bacall for being so sassy, coy, beautiful, and inspiring…
Audrey Hepburn, because she's Audrey Hepburn.
