What was wrong with Miss Lonelyheart from "Rear Window?"

She was you, OP.

Halitosis and pussy stank.

Maybe she was just a slut, and ahead of her time.

Today, she'd have an OnlyFans account.

she was on a secret Soviet mission to put half of Hackensack, NJ to sleep.

I was always more curious about Miss Hearing-Aid, the shapely sculptress with free gardening advice.

That young guy she brought back to her apartment, was hot.

She should have let him bone her, right there on the couch!

She did nothing for me.

Desperate +self-loathing

Two words...the tingler.

AMBIVALENCE!

She serves one purpose: to scare young women into settling and settling quickly.

Don't be independent, girls! It only leads to desperation and sorrow!

An old maid was the most dreaded thing to be back then.

You guys have it. The whole movie is about a saggy old man being pursued by an exceptionally beautiful young woman. And he wasn't rich.

Sorry. I am stoned and drunk.

Miss Lonely was bookish and shy. She has to throw back liquid courage to venture out to meet a man. She grew tired year after year of not meeting a man. Perhaps she worked in a library or secretarial pool. She should have made friends with the partiers upstairs.

Tell me about it!

She didn't like anal. That's what was wrong with her.

Judith Evelyn played a similar part in Female on the Beach.

That she was secretly Mister Lonely Heart, actually, under that bad Harpo Marx wig. 🤨

Lonely alcoholic desperate for a man and marriage.

She looked like Martha Mason.

Judith originated the role of The Shrike on Broadway that June Allyson played in the movie.

She was too exacting when applying her lipstick and only kept whiskey in the house.

Hitchcock fetishized his beautiful leading ladies and often punished the homely ones. But then he often punished the beautiful ones too.

She should have placed an ad in the personals and pretended to be unconscious.

She wasn't pretty, and she was a middle-aged spinster in a world where nearly every man her age was already married, a bum or a "confirmed bachelor". Her only opportunities were with mashers like the hot young guy who only showed an interest because he figured she'd be easy or with old men, and maybe she didn't want the latter.

She did have a good body, though.

I love the movie Rear Window, Judith Evelyn's performance as Miss Lonelyhearts and that she spends an evening with the piano player at the end of the film.

Here's something about Evelyn's life that must have been terrifying... On September 3, 1939, Evelyn and her fiancé, Canadian radio producer Andrew Allan, survived the sinking of the Anchor-Donaldson liner SS Athenia. The Athenia was the first British passenger liner to be torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine in World War II. Mr. Allan's elderly father died in the aftermath of the disaster, when the lifeboat the three of them were in was accidentally sunk by a rescue ship.

Jesus - to survive the sinking of an ocean liner, only to have your lifeboat sunk by a "rescue" ship!

"Miss" Lonelyheart was chick with a dick.

Her problem is that she wouldn't take it up the "rear window!"

Even that well-known stud Raymond Burr spurned her.

Of course he was a little busy at the time.

I've always been curious about the French novel that told her story. "Mademoiselle Coeur Solitaire"

I think she was, as posted, supposed to represent the sad old maid (who was probably in her 30s).

Meanwhile, as pointed out, old disabled fart (and broke) Jimmy Stewart has Grace Kelly clinging to him. The other coupled-up lady gets murdered.

What a time to be a woman!

Well, she was fictional. So there's that.

If I had a dime for every time...

Doesn’t anyone remember me?

I do, r37.

No. But I DO remember NATHANAEL West.

I do R37/Nathaniel and your "Miss Lonelyhearts" was a man, baby! Stay outta this thread or it's day of the locust for you!
