The girl that played Salome
Was a dead ringer for a young Elizabeth Taylor.
shareShe only made one other movie, How the West Was Won a year later and was never seen again and died young. Its interesting how some film actors never really get started before they're gone and the mediocre hacks stick like gum on your shoe.
shareShe hosted a kiddie show in Chicago. I was a bit too young to appreciate her then!
shareWas it wrong of me to find her kinda hot? lol
shareNot at all!
shareThat's Ok then! I've always felt guilty about being made to feel horny by a biblical epic!
shareSaw the movie yesterday. Was absolutely sure it was Elisabeth Taylor. She sure was a dead ringer for her
shareCaught KofK on the Trinity Braodcast Network last night. wouldn't you know, they edited salome's dance drastically. I remember when I first saw this film as a pre-teen, Salome's dance was much longer, and it caused stirrings in me that I didn't understand at the time. The truncated version shown last night was a yawner.
Leave it to this particular network to edit a reverent version of the life of Christ to conform to its prudish idea of decency.

The girl who played Salome was Brigid Bazien
aged 16 when the film was made that is probably
why the tv channel cut her Dance of the Seven
Veils.We see the full version on tv in the UK
where the age of consent is 16 not 18 as in the
USA which has about the highest in the world.
KofK is available on DVD and I think on video
too,probably the full un-cut version but check
before buying.
A private religious school I support has a copy
and I've heard that Salome's dance is the boy's
favourite scene!
My rented blu-ray disc started skipping during Salome's dance. Strange. Is Trinity Broadcast Network haunting the disc?
shareSomebody rewound that sequence a bit too much and scratched that part of the Blu-ray.

She had 3 big movie roles, as mentioned already. (And I too was one of the kids who remembered her as The Blue Fairy on her own daily late-afternoon show in Chicago.) But it's not true that she died young, right after the movie roles: she lived until 1989, and did a lot of live theater, plus two marriages (and divorces) and motherhood.
shareI know it's wrong, but when you said that, I had a sudden vision of her in her Salome costumn, picking out a kid from the audience to dance for, and calling him the "Herod of the day".
It was said at the time that she ressembled Elizabeth Taylor. Sadly, she passed away before really getting into films.

Wrong she was also in "The HoneyMoon Machine" with Jim Huton and Steve McQueen

You're surprised that Trinity has a prudish idea of decency? Isn't that pretty much what a Christian TV network is supposed to have?

Yes, that must be why they edited the sequence.
