19th-century painter Carl Joseph Begas was a hottie and a half.
“She makes these like needlework embroideries on set in the tedium of filming”, says MacFadyen, “but they are all: ‘You Are a Cunt’. And she gives them as presents. And it’s Dame Judi Dench. And she is doing this beautifully, intricate, ornate (work). You kind of see the work materializing as the shoot goes on. Like: ‘You Are a Fucking Shit.’ Knightley never received her embroidered cushion from Dench but remarks: “I love that! She gives this fantastic air. She just sits there and she embroiders and you think: ‘Oh, that’s so nice! It’s Judi Dench. It’s so quaint; she’s embroidering a cushion,’ and you go: ‘What are you embroidering?’ And (it says): ‘Fuck!’ Apparently she’s got hundreds of them just covered in swear words or rude sayings.”
so can i worship judi dench as a religion yet or something

Martha Gellhorn, total babe. She dated Hemingway until she decided that she didn’t want to be “a footnote in someone else’s life.” So she became an amazing journalist and war correspondent - considered by The London Daily Telegraph, among others, to be one of the greatest war correspondents of the 20th century. She reported on virtually every major world conflict that took place during her 60-year career. She was also BFFs with Eleanor Roosevelt! Fabulous woman, total history crush.
This is Gerda Taro, one of the first female photo journalists and an incredibly brave and talented woman with a beauty and style to match (just look at those shoes).
She went to the Spanish Civil war as protege and lover of photographer Robert Capa but became a republican icon and photographer in her own right. Sadly she was killed in an accident with a tank in Spain in 1937.
