Fan reactions
Spotting three veteran stars in one frame was a huge surprise for fans on social media. One fan commented, “It’s so wonderful to see women who made us love movies.” Another said, “Three beautiful legendary icons in one frame. Thank you and immense gratitude to all three of you, for providing us with wholesome entertainment for decades, so much so that you all have raised the bar so high, that today’s generation falls short tremendously (sorry to say this but it’s true). Warm regards.”
A comment read, “So lovely to see these elegant legends 💕. Aaah, the days of class and beauty paired with immense talent. Thank you for taking the time for your fans. A rarity these days.” “Such a great frame. Blessed us all,” read another comment.
