Dear Mr Brownlow, It is indeed an honor to be speaking with you. "The Parade's Gone By..." changed my life. I am fascinated by silent films (especially of the 1920s) and enjoy learning about the actors / actresses of that era. I would love to make this my life's work: reviewing, researchin...

Al Jolson drives me up a wall. Ann Miller always comes across (at least to me) as thinking she was really "hot stuff". :P

My tastes are more than a bit eclectic. Right now I'm going back and forth between The Offspring - Greatest Hits (hard rock), Maroon 5 - It Won't Be Soon Before Long (top 40/rock/funk), and an album of Helen Kane tracks I downloaded off the Internet Archive's 78 rpm page. :lol:

I taped "Across to Singapore" off of TCM, and even though it was (IMO) a mediocre programmer, I still enjoyed it. Ramon Novarro - rowr. :lol:

This is one of my all-time favorites. :) The scene where he goes to rescue Sally on the beach, then falls to his knees when she runs off with the other fellow, always breaks my heart.

#1 is Clara Bow. Also Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, Louise Brooks, Jean Harlow, Colleen Moore. I've seen a few of the first five's pictures, and none of Ms Moore's.

I know I'm not narrowing it down much, but in truth I'd take whatever you would like to share. :)
