The Silver Screen Oasis

It's a sultry Gloria Grahame

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

EILEEN BRENNAN (1932 - 2013)


ALAN LADD (1913 - 1964)

Keefe Brasselle, Mitzi Gaynor, Jeffrey Hunter in a still from "Three Young Texans" (1954)

Birthday boy Alan Ladd has a surprise romance with June Allyson in 1955

. . . And apparently that "romance" extended into real life, as well.

God knows, they do look . . . cuddly.

That's just what I meant, Stone. I believe it broke Dick Powell's heart, although he and June stood together until he died of cancer,

A rare image of John Wayne, John Ford, Henry Fonda, and Ward Bond playing cards.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
