Do I Look Like a Grandma?
I’m not sure where the idea that only grandmas work with yarn ever came from. Just look at these classic Hollywood stars all with needles in their hands.
Doris Day
Doris Day often played the girl-next-door, but granny? Uh no.
Judy Garland
There’s some debate as to whether the needles in Judy’s hands were prop or real. Who cares? The point is she ain’t no grandma!
Jayne Mansfield
Pin up? Yes. Grandmother? No!
Ingrid Berman
Even while in makeup, the needles must work!
Ginger Rogers
Nimble with her hands as well as her feet.
Katherine Hepburn
The Hollywood epitome of style and glamor knit in public. Take your project with you wherever you go and don’t hesitate to whip out that yarn, ladies. We, too, can be STARS!
Great shots! Love it!
FYI, in the photo that you’ve labeled “Ginger Rogers,” Ginger is the one without the knitting, on the right holding a glass. The one on the left who is knitting looks like Katherine Hepburn, as you show again below that.
But, no doubt Ginger knitted too! She was so talented – I like her best for her comedy.
