Nice pictures, Joe.

I found a candid of a young Deanna Durbin on my computer. I'm not sure who the other girl is, though. Does anyone know?

Me, too, me,too! What a gorgeous singing and speaking voice. Moonlit nights and aged bourbon.....

"Three Mae Wests all in a row in the persons of RAF pilots Eric Bostock and Kenneth Baird and the screen star herself. The two British fliers are wearing ´Mae Wests,´ lifebelts so named because of their buxom resemblance to the star, and they were caught in this maewestish pose at Columbia studios as they read the actress into membership in the ´Mae West´ club." August, 1943

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

ROBERT ARTHUR (1925 - 2008)


RICHARD BOONE (1917 - 1981)


KEYE LUKE (1904 - 1991)


JEANETTE MacDONALD (1903 - 1965)


MAE BUSCH (1891 - 1946)
Mae's Hollywood career lasted 30 years; she worked with many of the leading directors, actors and actresses of the time. After a long illness she died in 1946, aged 54. She was cremated and her ashes remained in a cardboard box at the Motion Picture Country Home Hospital for over 20 years until a proper internment and plaque was provided. Sad.

Hi,

Happy Birthday to Gena Rowlands, a truly gloriously beautiful and classy lady. And, a fine actress!!
She is another one who should be awarded an Honourary Oscar and be invited to the TCM Film Festival next year.
Also, let's get Louis Jourdan and Marisa Pavan there too....

Frank Sinatra and AM prepare for the Suspense radio broadcast "To Find Help", 18 January 1945.
As this was Sinatra's first dramatic role, AM wore bobby-socks to the broadcast in his honor.
