Hello Celebrators of Vintage Sensuality;
I’m not sure if you can feel it, but 2026 has an unusual flavor — it’s ripe for huge breakthrough and opportunity AND/OR devastation.
There doesn’t seem to be much in between.
That’s part of why this month’s featured beauty and classic movie star is Super Sultry BARBARA LANG.
She was a self-taught vocalist who entrusted her accompanist to select each song’s key and pitch.
Lang was well on her way to a career in singing when she woke up one day in 1953 unable to move. She had been stricken with polio.

Lang found much greater success in TV and appeared in

Although her career was limited, having appeared in just 4 films – although she was not always credited – her screen presence and striking beauty made her a memorable figure in mid-20th-century Hollywood.
However, Lang was known more for her many television roles through the 50s and 60s.

- William McCorkle – Married in 1946, later divorced in 1952; they had two daughters together
- Alan Wells – Married in 1956; this union was annulled in 1958 because Wells’ prior divorce wasn’t finalized at the time of their wedding.
