Frank Sinatra, Dinah Shore, Jerry Colonna, Bob Hope and Jimmy Durante on the radio in 1947.
What a joy it was to have these stars around during my lifetime.

Hi Joe,

Great picture of Lee Patrick.

Effie, Mrs. Biederhoff and Mrs. Upson and that horrible convict in "Caged" and the looney nut-case in "Snake Pit"......
Wow, what an actress!!!!

Larry

Larry, her name in "Caged" was Elvira Powell, one of my favorite character names, especially when uttered by prison matron Hope Emerson (Evelyn Harper). What a duo.

Joe:
"She's a cute trick!"

Virginia Bruce could be Shelley Long's twin sister.

Right on, PT.

Uncle Stevie, you may have something there.
