    Barbra Streisand?

  2. k April 30, 2008 at 8:53 am #

    Liza?

  3. k April 30, 2008 at 9:01 am #

    Or Liz Taylor…

    Liz Taylor?

    We recently did Liz Taylor – I don’t know who this person is. They do show a thick ankle, but nonetheless elegantly shod. (Don’t we all show a thick ankle from time to time?) The occasional comfortable shoe made me think of the Maimi Eisenhower story.

    After one of Ike’s inauguration, she donated a pink formal and pink shoes to the Smithsonian Museum for the First Ladies Exhibit. Sometime later, she had to attend a function where she had to stand for a long period of time in a receiving line. She was wearing pink again. She called up the Smithsonian and asked if she could borrow her pink shoes back. She said, well they are broken in and they are comfortable. This seems like a good celebrity shoe story!

    Laura Bush? The carpet looks presidential.

    My other instinct was Camilla Parker-Bowles, but I think she’s been done recently.

    Helen Mirren

  8. Carol April 30, 2008 at 9:53 am #

    My first thought was Delta Burke, but second thoughts are not so sure…

  9. jelodi April 30, 2008 at 9:54 am #

    Kathleen Turner?

  10. Anonymous April 30, 2008 at 9:55 am #

    Judy Dench?

  11. Allison April 30, 2008 at 10:03 am #

    Carol beat me to Delta Burke.

  12. Kari April 30, 2008 at 10:13 am #

    We already had Laura Bush — and this person, I suspect, is much older than Laura Bush.

  13. jezebella April 30, 2008 at 10:15 am #

    Brigitte Bardot?

  14. Kari April 30, 2008 at 10:15 am #

    However, I don’t think that *Barbara* Bush is out of the question…

  15. daleth April 30, 2008 at 10:27 am #

    Kathleen Turner

  16. Natasha April 30, 2008 at 10:27 am #

    I definitely thought Kathleen Turner right away for some reason.

  17. Kari April 30, 2008 at 10:33 am #

    Or, perhaps, Kathy Bates?

  18. Margaret April 30, 2008 at 10:43 am #

    Liz Taylor (or my Aunt Bobby.)

  19. Lucky April 30, 2008 at 10:45 am #

    Diane Keaton?

  20. Edwardina April 30, 2008 at 10:55 am #

    I agree with DivaLisa. I think it’s Helen Mirren.

  21. Isay April 30, 2008 at 11:02 am #

    I think Helen Mirren hasn’t got cankles like that. I think I would say it looks like Blythe Danner. She wears lots of neutral colors and I think she favors sensible shoes, also.

  22. C* April 30, 2008 at 11:04 am #

    Faye Dunaway??

  23. Bernie April 30, 2008 at 11:18 am #

    Judi Dench?

  24. Sara April 30, 2008 at 11:21 am #

    Shirley MacLaine?

  25. Sara April 30, 2008 at 11:23 am #

    I think Bernie’s right.

  26. Gigi April 30, 2008 at 12:08 pm #

    Stevie Nicks?

  27. joods April 30, 2008 at 12:11 pm #

    Hillary Clinton?

  28. jane April 30, 2008 at 12:15 pm #

    aretha franklin?

  29. grudge girl April 30, 2008 at 12:23 pm #

    Helen Mirren? Good God people! She’s always been a thin, willowy hottie with great gams.

    To me, this person’s weight has see-sawed. There is a HUGE difference between the ankles and feet between several of those pictures. It even looks like occasional gout or something. The key, to me, is figuring out that black and white that looks like it’s from the 60s. Who was a bit of a sassy-posing, knee-booted mini-skirt wearer in the 60s, in spite of a rather non-Twiggy-esque figure?

    Other than Liz Taylor (who, incidentally, I don’t remember being one of the recent answers), I got nothin’.

  30. Scarlet April 30, 2008 at 12:42 pm #

    Liza Minelli

  31. Phyllis April 30, 2008 at 1:00 pm #

    Marlo Thomas?

  32. Jules April 30, 2008 at 1:03 pm #

    Ann-Margaret?

  33. slownews April 30, 2008 at 1:08 pm #

    Meryl Streep?

  34. Minky April 30, 2008 at 1:18 pm #

    Totally Dame Judy.

  35. Anna April 30, 2008 at 1:25 pm #

    Hilary Clinton

  36. Poochie April 30, 2008 at 1:26 pm #

    Donna Karan?

    I’m stumped.

  37. wannabe April 30, 2008 at 1:55 pm #

    Oprah? I think she’s been done before, but the weight seesaw thing is what has me.

  38. De Anza April 30, 2008 at 2:20 pm #

    I’m voting Babs…

  39. Beverly April 30, 2008 at 3:09 pm #

    Kirstie Alley

  40. Norma Desmond April 30, 2008 at 3:22 pm #

    Gotta be Hillary! Look at those cankles.

  41. Uncle Fester April 30, 2008 at 3:55 pm #

    Jane Fonda.

  42. roz April 30, 2008 at 4:00 pm #

    Oh cankles. I’m saying Hillary.

  43. valawhoo April 30, 2008 at 4:04 pm #

    We already had Hillary. Could be Barbara Bush, but when was the last time you saw her wearing open-toed shoes? I’m sticking with Camilla Parker-Bowles.

  44. Marybeth April 30, 2008 at 4:10 pm #

    Kirstie Alley….she loved her leg warmers!!

  45. Karen April 30, 2008 at 5:50 pm #

    It must be Judy Dench. Must be.

  46. Karen April 30, 2008 at 5:52 pm #

    Perhaps Doris Day?

  47. Seana April 30, 2008 at 6:00 pm #

    I’m not sure who this is, but it is definately someone in their “September” or possibly October years. The black and white clearly indicates someone from the sixties, and the staid styles and cankles indicate someone who is not in their prime. I don’t know that even Dame Judy has fluctuated in weight, but it seems that the conservative type outfits would indicate someone who is British and over 55. Definately not Helen Mirren (who wore the purple, platform prostitute pumps in a Who’s shoes not that long ago).

    I think that b&w photo looks like the ’20′s, so I’m going to guess Coco Chanel. This is obviously a woman of a certain age. But I don’t know what she looked like at the end.

  49. T Migratorious April 30, 2008 at 6:56 pm #

    That earliest picture is definitely period 1960s. I thought about Streisand, but she’s too short to wear so many flats and low heels. I don’t recall her having such weight fluctuations, but my guess is Vanessa Redgrave.

  50. Rondi April 30, 2008 at 7:02 pm #

    Lynn Redgrave? She’s old enough and has had the weight fluctuations, for sure.
