The Silver Screen Oasis

Gosh what a gorgeous smile Ivan Dixon had! I always love seeing him turn up as an actor or director. He was such a good serious actor.

RKO head Charles Koerner celebrates his birthday with the "Tender Comrade" company: Ginger Rogers, producer David Hempstead, director Edward Dmytryk, cinematographer Russell Metty, script clerk Mercy Weireter and Robert Ryan (1943)

Ginger looks so happy here...it makes me wonder...Mother Lela testified years later at the HUAC hearings that her daughter was forced by the studio to appear in this "Commie" picture (by a "Commie" screenwriter)....I will watch it soon.

Happy Birthday Mr. Gavin, which reminds me I must see "A Time To Love & A Time to Die"...Joe, Do you have a current pic of him?

Joe,

Judy Lewis sure has her daddy's eyes.

Fernando, here is a recent image of John Gavin:

Doris Day as a bunny wabbit for Easter

Thanks for that pic Joe.

I just found this on the "Humphrey Bogart Estate" thread on Facebook. Be forewarned, Ms. Bacall has not aged as well as the men, but she's still lovely.
