Beautiful, Mamie!
For some reason I didn't realize that Marie Dressler had died just at the very height of her stardom.
The year after Dinner At Eight, in fact.
She had been the #1 Box Office draw in the U.S. only a year before that.

Mamie - it's very true about the faces.
BUT, I just have to say that I could stare at Jon-Erik Hexum's for quite awhile

Posted: 11/2/07 at 11:16pmGeraldine Page is one of my favorite actresses! So good in everything I've seen her in. My favorite films of hers are: A Trip to Bountiful, Interiors and Whatever Happened to Aunt Alice. She's also provides the voice to the wonderfully wicked Madame Medusa in The Rescuers. She was a treasure!

Boy, oh boy, do I love Hedy Lamarr's hat!
And Veronica Lake and Joel McCrea in the same month--this calls for a Sullivan's Travels moment!
My second all-time favorite movie.

Sullivan's Travels is one of the best all time classic films. I love this pic of Veronica Lake from that film:

I just wanted to pass on my birthday greetings to that wild woman of the '30s movies, Miss Marie Dressler. If I had a Tugboat Annie DVD, I'd be playing it now!

Posted: 11/9/07 at 6:43pmI always wished I could look like Hedy. She was, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful women of Hollywood. I don't think anybody, except Audrey Hepburn, had the class of Grace Kelly.

Posted: 11/9/07 at 8:32pmYou'll have to do a search for the other 'angel' threads, Diva. You waited to the second from the last one! After December there'll be no more...
