That HAS to be GARBO! It couldn't be anyone else!

Oh, Fernando, I haven't seen The Glass Slipper in so long. I have it on VHS. I should watch it again since you brought it up. Nobody talks about that film, and I think it is great! Richard Chamberlain is one of those forgotten stars who could do so much and bring so much to any film in which he part...

The Swan was on today. It is such a beautiful movie. I kept thinking about Grace and how easily she played the part of a princess. She probably made it seem so easy after she married Rainer. After all, most of life is ACTING! I loved all of the cast. Louis Jordan was so young and handsome; he and Gr...

Ha! Birdy, that is a funny story. I pictured the whole thing as I read it. And, I know about not minding! It is a life's work. I suppose it is very much like raising children. I should say raising, as my mother would say, "Chickens are raised, children are reared!" Anyway, poor baby needs ...

Now that I am in the new house, the puppies are having a terrible time. I didn't know anything about Chihuahuas when I got them. They are so nervous! Scared of everything. I am on a corner of a main thorough fare, and the trucks, motorcycles, and noisy cars freak them out so badly they won't go pee ...

Well, I have moved into my new house. I move so often (about every four to five years) I guess I have ants in my pants. Anyway, the cats have moved now four times since I've had them. The first move I kept them in the garage for about a week to get acclimated. The next time was about four days. Then...

I agree; there really are too many to mention. I have commented on this thread before, but I just had to make a list. It is so inspriring! But, many on my list have already been mentioned, so I'll just add these. But, here goes my list: Greta Garbo Tyrone Power Hedy Lamarr Errol Flynn Jean Harlow Bu...

Oh, how I miss restaurants like that! I was only a boy, but I remember my parents taking me out to places similar. I suppose every town had its classy restaurants. Here in Stockton, California there were Otto's, Murphy's, Risso's, and Albert's. They were all dark with leather booths. The waiters wer...

Sorry, Fernando, I haven't heard a thing about the release of either. But, I would love to see them, too!

Oh, Alison, what will I do without your comments. You and I talk so much, and there will be no one to talk about Garbo with! Well, shoot! I guess I'll just have to get over it and look forward to your return. I too, just bought a new house, but unfortunately, or fortunately, all of my phone service ...

I am crazy for Isabel Jewel! In Bombshell she played the "loose" girlfriend of Jean's no-good brother. At one point during the chaos, she says, " Hey, I'm gettin' sober; how 'bout you?" Oh, she was also in Go West Young Man with Mae and Gary Cooper (giving all of those great impe...

I am sure she did know. From all I have read, she had her minions buy up all the newspapers and magazines that even mentioned her each day so she could read what everyone was saying. I expect her insecurity needed the strokes: although, it didn't seem to comfort her enough to extend her hand to the ...

Over on the TCM Boards there was a discussion on Garbo. Someone brought up the fact the Garbo's face was geometrically perfect, and that it had actually been measured. I was aware of that fact, and so I researched it and came up with these photos. To my knowledge, no other star had been so scrutiniz...

Gosh, I love these Cecil Beaton shots casually thrown in here and there. They are so refreshing, and I am always taken aback!

Well, I have become a terrible fatalist as I have lived my life seeing life and death. I believe you go when you are supposed to go. Some people take prescription drugs all their life and nothing goes wrong (like my mother who was a pill junkie of the worst kind who finally died at the age of 87); s...
