Fantastic photos Alison. I think she really caught the natural beauty of Joan Crawford. I always love seeing photos of Buster Keaton as well, and these did him justice.

I was just informed about Hollis' death by Alison. He sent me a lovely PM once asking me about England and what it was like. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing, I didn't know him that well, but it's always sad when someone dies. I hope he's out of pain and is happy wherever he may be. Rest in peace...

Alison I'm so sorry to hear of Fred's passing. I know how much you loved him. I'm glad you got Charlie however, and I can't help but think of Chaplin when you talk about the cat's name!!!! Sounds like he's very energetic!!! Libby's words for Fred were so sweet, she's such a lovely girl. I've really ...

The Love Light was a very adult role for Mary to play, she was able to show how beautiful she was, something that doesn't come through in her child roles. She does the best turn as the mother in Little Lord Fauntelroy , she has beauty and grace. Little Annie Rooney is one of her best child roles. T...

I don't know about that my friend. You are very knowledgeable on his films too.

Birdy it's in the same collection as Merrily They Go To Hell . I've seen Murder at the Vanities too, I'd highly recommend it. Myrnaloyisdope, you started at the wrong place with Rudy, it's an example of how to overact, it's a pity that this is the film he is well known for. If you have Son Of The S...

Alison I've already said this in my email to you, but again I'm so incredibly sorry that this has happened. My thoughts are with you and you know where I am if you need me.

I will be thinking of you tomorrow and hoping it goes as smoothly as possible for you.

*hugs*

I was pleased as punch when I turned on the TV this morning to see the headline on Sky News "Obama Wins Election" I then got to see his victory speech and found myself getting choked up. It's a moment in history that I will never forget and am so grateful to be a part of. It's a new beginn...

I have to be up at 6am British time, which is 1am Eastern time, so hopefully it will be decided by then. I will be watching Sky News channel, but we also get Fox News Channel over here so may watch that too.

Whatever you do, don't run around on it a lot. Ice it when you are sitting, and keep it elevated. You might also consider accupuncture. You can make things much worse if you try to do too much too soon. My wife had a similar injury at work, and was forced to continue working although she was in ago...

The moral of my story is if your coming downstairs and it's dark PUT THE LIGHT ON :wink: Oh do I know that one very well!!!! *flashes back to her six weeks in a stupid cast* Take care of yourself Alison. I know exactly how you feel, but you know that anyway. You know my number if you need anything ...

We had a discussion a few weeks ago about the inconvenience of Election Day on a Tuesday in November. For those of you who find this not to be a problem, I say - lucky you. But for the rest of us, it's a drag. Apparently, I'm not the only one who feels this way, and yet another bill is before Congr...

Glad that you love the image that I selected.

I am indeed.

And thank you for posting that photo. I wish he'd have lived to have a career in talkies and maybe as a producer/director.

I realize I may be making some of you angry, but I've been sick all week and haven't seen anyone who I could spout off with so I'm kind of using this board to vent a little. Just ignore me, and I'll cool down soon, but that Palin really makes me angry. Anne I'm glad it's not just me. I can't stand ...
