The Silver Screen Oasis

Claudette Colbert--one of the loveliest ladies to grace the screen, and one of my favourites. I have thirty five of her sixty eight movies.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

CLAYTON MOORE (1914 - 1999)


KAY MEDFORD (1914 - 1980)


JACK HAWKINS (1910 - 1973)

Thanks for remembering one of my all-time faves, Joe: Clayton Moore. His work as the Lone Ranger--as well as his many serials at Republic (earning him the nickname of "King of the Serials" for several years)--have made for some good viewing. BTW, the 65th anniversary of the airing of the 1st Lone Ranger episode is tomorrow. It's a big couple of days for us fans

At the Emmy Awards Lou Edelman's (the show's producer's) cuff link became caught on Stanwyck's dress and her publicist Helen Ferguson had to do some repair work as fellow winner Raymond Burr of "Perry Mason" looked on.

Holy mackeral! You could easily knock 30-35 years off that photo of Chakiris.

Amazing. Dorian Gray lives!
