Hi Joe

My computer went haywire a couple of weeks ago and I had to buy a new one - have only just caught up with previous threads and would like to congratulate you - and your wife - on reaching fifty years together - sorry it's late - but better late than never - well done :D

Re: *CANDIDS*

Hi Joe Further to my posting regarding Vivian DuBois - I found out that she only appeared in two films - "I married an angel" - with Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy in 1942 - and "Lost in a harem" - with Abbott and Costello in 1944. Other than this I cannot find any other infr...

Re: Research

RedRiver - don't worry you haven't offended me - it's just that I didn't understand the meaning - now it has been explained I understand. I didn't think this was still an ongoing issue with Obama - however once he has been inaugurated can he be ousted if it came to light he was born outside the U S ...

Re: Research

It is at times like this that I wish I was "intelligent" - the reply from "Red River" means nothing to me - maybe someone can explain the meaning of the reply ?

I can't make out if it is a serious reply - or meant to be funny - either way ?????????? :oops:

Can anyone recommend a reliable site to access - or view - U S records of "births - marriages - deaths and divorces"

Is there a general site covering all topics - or - must I go through individual State and County sites ?

thanks :D

"Guy Mcafee"

Whilst reading about Las Vegas I came across Guy Mcafee - and for my own satisfaction tried to find out about his life history. I have scoured the "internet" and have exhausted all possible references - using trigger words common to him. However I have some blanks and hope someone out-ther...

Re: *CANDIDS*

Hi Joe Liked the last set of photos - Hope Lange has the look of a young Grace Kelly - and what a cracked Gloria Grahame is - that voice used to do things for me - after a string of parts in crime films - her role in Oklahoma was a revelation. Thanks for the posting - would love to see more of Glori...

Re: *CANDIDS*

Thanks Joe - I see La Rue's was almost opposite the Trocadero - didn't know that before - pity there are no photos showing what the outside frontage of La Rue's was like - maybe one day some may come to light - thanks anyway :D

Re: *CANDIDS*

Hi Joe Great photo of Bogart and his first wife (?) Mayo Methot at "LaRue's" - I'm fairly sure that this is the first photo posted that was taken in La Rue's. Is this maybe because not many were taken - or maybe because La Rue's wasn't that popular ? - are there any photos that show what L...
