Hi,
Well ladies, let me tell you a cute story that came back to me when I saw these Steve Reeves pictures:
When interviewed in 1960 or 61, Mae Murray was asked if there was anyone who came close 'today' to the great male stars of her day - Rudolph Valentino, Antonio Moreno, Ramon Novarro or John Gilbert.
She replied, "Oh I think Steve Reeves is the one who'll be the biggest star today and in the future!"...
My grandmother shrieked, "Oh now, she's definitely lost her mind!!"......
And, I'm glad to see Gilbert Roland admired as a 'hunk'. He was definitely a gentleman and treated all his many ladies well. I never heard a bad word about him.
He had Norma Talmadge and Constance Bennett in a tizzy for a few years...

Hi Donna,
During the 50's, Mae was pretty much cognizant. I knew her fairly well but not as well as Marion Davies or Pola Negri.
Pola and Mae had been sisters-in-law back in the late 20's and early 30's when they were married to those Mdivani boys.
Pola sometimes described Mae as "dizzy"!!
It was Mae Muray who made that famous crack after viewing "Sunset Blvd." - - "None of us floozies was that nuts!!"... But, one wonders.
Norma Desmond is said to have been modelled on Mae Murray & Norma Talmadge to a certain extent.

Moira, I missed the Gilbert Roland pics, I don't know how. He's very nice both young and old.
As for Cary, I adore Cary.

Re: The Women's Room
Does anyone remember the photo of Omar Sharif and Julie Andrews from The Tamarind Seed? Johnm posted them, but I think he deleted all his posts. That picture does more to "cheer" me up, than anything else I can think of. Sure would like to see it again!!!!!!
Re: The Women's Room
YES!!!!!!!!!
Bless you forever and ever! This time I'm saving it to my desktop so I can sigh over it whenever the mood strikes (and even tho it doesn't "strike" as often.....it still strikes!)

Re: The Women's Room
Sorry I couldn't find a larger version of the photo but I'm glad it made your day. Bless you for being such a happy person! Despite never seeing the film, it's a nice photo of the actors sharing a tender moment in their roles.
I'm not sure what actors are favored in the forum but I decided to post a few more. To all, please let me know when I'm becoming annoying with the photos.
Pernell Roberts
John Hodiak
James Garner
Glenn Ford
Rory Calhoun
James Ellison
Burt Lancaster

The more I think about that "being a happy person" remark, the more I wonder if I sound like a younger version of Mae????
oh well, somebody has to be the silly one, I suppose....

Re: The Women's Room
Please don't be offended by what I said. I just meant that it's nice to come in here and share good times talking about films instead of thinking about the bad things going on in the world(which I tend to do). At times I need to laugh more. Thanks for sharing your positive energy, I truly mean it.
If there are any more requests, let me know. I enjoy searching for photos.

"When you're becoming annoying" - - NEVER!!!!!
Bring on as many photographs as you like; we welcome them.....
In this day and age, a smiling face is very reassuring!
