Wow, Sue [whack ;-)], you sure have a good eye for these things--you're so right. That's another thing that bothers me in JI is the eyebrows!!! Those *#&$ make-up people just prettied him up too much; he doesn't look like the Robert Newton I fell in love with at all! (I think that's why, um, that unshaven Welsh fellow keeps snatching my attention away.) In fact, add the bushy eyebrows to my list of favorite features.

And Elizabeth [whack], if you want to see Bobby with no make-up, check out the last photo on the "candids" page: <a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://www.mooncove.com/newton/candids.htm.">http://www.mooncove.com/newton/candids.htm.</a> Also, I don't think he has much if any make-up on in the "High and the Mighty" photo on the "portraits" page: <a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://www.mooncove.com/newton/portraits.htm;">http://www.mooncove.com/newton/portraits.htm;</a> I'm not sure about the others.

Oh, and for checking out eyebrows, how about Charles Laughton in JI? My goodness, I think they would have been better if they penciled in his eyebrows rather than the way they looked!! It looks like they may have shaved them first and then stuck two bushy things over his eyes. It gave him a hideous look! I wonder who the makeup artist was in that movie? They seemed like they were painting 'clowns' rather than 'actors'. Emlyn Williams was probably 'normal' looking compared to the rest of them.

Oh, those eyes. You're right, Sue. Who's lame-brained idea was it to mess with eyes/eyebrows that were already devastatingly beautiful? (Though I did like his hair in the first part of the movie - it was a bit wild and unkempt...but I don't want to go off on another tangent.)
And that voice! He could play it like a violin. And those graceful hands. (oops, I'm going off on a tangent again...) So, there you have my top favorites: eyes, voice, hands.
