Description
Taking inspiration from this month's yesteryear issue of New York Magazine, for our final episode of the series we look at film’s favourite ‘It’ girls. From the term’s very inception and throughout the 20th century, cinema has both catalogued and had a hand in the rise and fall of the ‘It’ girl. But perhaps this is a thing of yesteryear?
