I’m a bit late, but yesterday was the 35th anniversary of her death. She was a singular lady, that one.

Glorious, Glorious Gloria the Birthday Girl!
On 27th March, 1899, a baby girl was born in the great Midwestern metropolis of Chicago. She grew up to conquer the world, armed with an arsenal of talent, wit, style, unusual beauty, and a staggering amount of well-justified ambition and self-confidence.
The camera loved her. Clothes loved her.
Fans loved her.
We still do.
