Where did Carole get such modern looking specs? They look like what Sophia Loren has been wearing these past two decades.

I was stunned to see this picture of a very young Britt Ekland, one of my sentimental favorites ...

Clark Gable slouches

He may slouch, but this picture sure verifies "The Big Head Theory of Movie Stardom."

I'm with Gary J.! Those shades that Carole is sporting are really fashion forward. She is usually so funny, I forget how lovely her face was in repose. Loved her In Name Only (1939) that was on TCM today!

[mongoII]

Moira, I believe that Kay Francis (a close friend of Carole's) came close to stealing "In Name Only". It was Carole who insisted on Kay for the role. Bravo!

Thanks for giving Jerome Cowan another photo op, Mongo! I'm quite sure he'd be very happy to be surrounded by all those beautiful ladies on his birthday.
