I know it's the angle of the shot, but Tommy's feet look disproportionally huge!

Moira, what a fabulous piece on Marsha Hunt. Such an interesting woman, so glad she's still with us. In a bit of synchronicity, I watched Price & Prejudice last evening, and I always delight at her too brief appearences. She's wonderfully daffy in this film.

Man oh man, I want that lamp!

Oh, The Wild Wild West, Friday nights. I had the biggest crush on....

Ross Martin as Artemus Gordon. I also loved Michael Dunn, of course.

I really should revisit these, it was enormous fun.

Thank you very much, rudyfan! I hope one day to have a full-featured web site for Agnes at that address, as you have for Mr. Valentino. For now it's just a blog, but it's a start. :) If you'd see the first iteration of my site which was coded by me, poor Rudy sure deserved better. :-) Mine's not ev...

This is simply fabulous news. I will add it to the links on my site, to be sure.

Fabulous shot of Anna Sten. I've wanted to see Nana again for decades. I saw it when I was a kid on local tv, never again. I liked it and then later read what a drubbing it got and how really bad it was and have wanted to revisit it, in case I'm totally insane.

I could not let a star with a car go by without adding a shot of Valentino, Joe. Okay, so this is just the chassis he was working on. This was on his birthday in 1926.

He's pretty scary, and highly sexual, as the Grand Vizier lusting after June Duprez in The Thief of Baghdad . I will have to watch Thief the next time it turns up on TCM. I have never seen it , to the best of my recollection. :( It's a beautiful film, and I agree, Veidt is very menacing. I think he...

I'm totally with you, PT. Heston has never been attractive to me. He was often muscular, but, just not my cuppa tea. ymmv, of course.

Gosh, I love turnips and beets. Gotta be the Russian in me!

If anyone is really interested in getting some portuguese sausage, this is where we order from now that we have no family left in south eastern Massachusetts: http://www.gasparssausage.com/ . I don't know if they'll ship to Bagdad, rudyfan, but they do ship all over the U.S. :) PT, Gaspars looks gr...

mMMM, linguicia, mmmmmmmmmmmm I'm on my own this year and the typical Thanksgiving is the anti=Thanksgiving meal. Dungeness crab season starts the week before, usually. And that is usually on the menu. Not this year. I've never, ever cooked a turkey. :oops: So, since it's me, roasting a chicken, mak...

I love him as Oberon in Midsummer Night's Dream. I know it's the costume and I'd love to have a nice photo of him from that film, and have never run across one.
