Propinquity, makes me think of Pachinko, not because I am like Japanese people, but because of the sound of the word."Propinquity," from the Latin, immediately reminded me of Julie Newmar; check the dialog:
And that got me to pondering wasp waists.
Do any modern starlets have such wasp waists?
Am I allowed to ask in this day and age?

Propinquity makes me think of sociology, where I learned that the biggest predictor of who marries whom is propinquity...uh, duh?
That's science in some regards, deborah: Giving latinate names to common sense.
Favorite line: Aha! Ahahaha! So all of this lovey dovey business was just a trick! I had a hutch you'd try something not quite kosher.
The spacing on the baluster spindles does not meet code.
To answer the question: No.
When was the last time you saw an actress that wasn't all silicone?
To have a waist, a woman would also have to have a certain fullness of the hips. Then the Body Police would scream she's "obese", the Lefties favorite word.
What you have today are a bunch of little girls.
Her butt crack really sings in that photo.
I started to say her vapidity amazes in addition to the wonder of her wasp waist . And then needed to stop and look up vapidity, as I'm not sure that's the word I want.
Not insipid either, but empty of something vital and real.
@MamaM: Are you referring to Newmar or the Catwoman character? I am impressed with Newmar's entrepreneurial skills.
Thanks for asking and hauling me back chickelit. It was the 60's dialogue I found annoying, not the person. After checking out your link I went on to find she had a child with Down's Syndrome that she loved and provided for.
Her financial independence has created a secure future for her son John, now in his twenties. He communicates using American Sign Language, goes to a special-ed day school, and travels around the world with his mother.
His success is her success:
"He teaches me about life -- instead of wanting and getting and all the stuff that turns us into disagreeable humans. The whole thing is to have a complete life, not simply to be rich or famous. You've got to have the soul and the heart."
GOOD LIFE
It may not have taken her nine lives. But somewhere in the transition from famous actress to stay-at-home mom, adult learner, property manager and finally real estate tycoon, Julie Newmar got it right.

Sixty, Gotham had no building codes. I thought everyone knew that!
