Sexy Pin-Ups of The Past: Alice Denham





Alice Denham 1956

Alice Denham 1956




DENHAM didn't only just have a sexy body, but was smart as Hell. She earned a bachelor's degree from the UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA in 1949 and a master's degree from the UNIVERSITY OF ROSCHESTER in 1950, and is a member of the PHI BETA KAPPA society. Her writing talents were obvious to PLAYBOY, several PLAYMATES have written the text that accompanied their pictorials, but DENHAM is the only PLAYMATE to have written a short story that was published in the same issue as her centerfold.







DENHAM would appear in several Men's magazines in the 1950s & 1960s showing off that SMOKIN' HOT BODY of hers.
















































DENHAM would pursued a career in writing and education. She's written several short stories and novels, including AMO, MY DARLING FROM THE LIONS, SLEEPING WITH BAD BOYS and teach creative writing at the CITY COLLEGE OF NEW YORK, where she served as an adjunct professor of English from 1970 to 1980. She also held fiction-writing seminars at the UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO in CANADA for several years. I Think All English Professors Should Look like Her, Enrolments Would Definitely Increase ;)

Raja's Movie Ramblings: My Favorite Classic Christmas Movies

 SCROOGE (1951)

British actor Alistair Sim played the Most Iconic version of the character in this the Most Definitive version of Charles Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol.



MIRACLE ON 34th STREET (1947)
When we grow up we tend to forget the meaning of the Holidays with all the hustle & bustle. It's a child's wonder that reminds us again what truly matter. That's what young Natalie Wood's character does for the entire city of New York.




WHITE CHRISTMAS (1954)
Bing Crosby sings the title so beautifully in this movie that it became apart of every Christmas since. Good Job Bing.





The Bishop's Wife (1947)
Wow, Cary Grant plays the most suave angel ever to make on the screen. Don't know how David Niven's character kept his beautiful wife played by actress Loretta Young with Him around. Definitely  Divine Intervention.





IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE (1946)
Jimmy Stewart plays in perhaps director Frank Capra's Greatest film ever.
