Happy Birthday to the wonderful William Reynolds. One of those little heralded actors from the 50s who never got their
due.

Maggie Hayes is one of my favorites. Some movies she was in are Good Day for a Hanging, The Case Against Brooklyn,
The Bottom of the Bottle, Violent Saturday, Blackboard Jungle and The Glass Key(which was on TCM just the other day).
She also did lots of TV. Check her out IMDB.

Appreciate the Rex Reason birthday salute. I also see his brother Rhodes is still living.

Congrats to them both.

A very Happy Birthday to the wonderful Gloria Grahame, my most favorite film noir lady. I don't care about her
private life, just her screen life and she has become one of my 5 most favorite ladies of the screen.

Again, I am sorry you left us so early, but Happy Birthday, wherever you are.

I have the interviews on tape. I watched a few months ago when I was organizing my collection. They all are so
wonderful.

Happy Birthday to the wonderful, wonderful Jeffrey Hunter. I have seen most of his movies and he never got
the praise he deserved.

Again, Happy Birthday.

a great big birthday wish to Douglas Dick, a favorite.

Also, Phyllis Thaxter. As with Mr Dick, an underrated actor.

Like them both and their work.

today is also the birthday of the wonderful, wonderful Jean Hagen. Also the beautiful Marilyn Maxwell.

They are buried in the Actor Fund Plots in Vahalla cementary outside NYC. I have been there a few times and seen all the actors/actresses who are buried there, usually 2 names on a stone. I think they had no money so the actors fund paid for it. Many name everyone would recognize.

On todays birthdays, please add Mary Healy. April 14, 1918. Makes her 94.

These ladies like Mary Healy and Audrey Long being in their 90s, congratulations to them both.

Yes, I watched it. This is the kind of little noir film I really am into. Hope TCM shows more of this kind.

Thanks for the great pic of Mercedes McCambridge. She was a great actress in my mind. All the King's Men, Giant, Suddenly Last Summer to name a few. Just got Angel Baby, but haven't watched it yet. Will be great to look at it with Mercedes and another favorite Joan Blondell.

So sorry to hear of the deaths of two actors from the 50s, Joan Taylor and Jerome Courtland. They were not that well known "b" movies, I know them both from their performances.

A couple of more birthdays today. The beautiful Myrna Dell and that wonderful character actor George Meeker.

Happy Birthday to the wonderful Dane Clark. Also, Robert Francis(a favorite) whose life was cut way to short.
