Love that costume!

Fredric March

Thanks, one of my "things" is finding photos in a series from a single sitting. You know the photographer took several photos once the star got all made up and costumed, but so often all we see is ONE photo. So, whenever I can, I link photos together to kind of create the sitting again.

Bombshell!

Frances Dee

Now, THAT is sooooo cool! He is perfect for the part! I never imagined he played that role. I really want to see it now!

Well, that is one reason she was so great AND successful! She started early choosing parts that were unattractive. Nobody wanted to risk their career doing the character in Of Human Bondage, but she did. She jumped at the chance. She WAS Bette Davis, and there is NO comparison! And, no, I am not watching, but I have seen it several times. I am a BIG Davis fan.

Is that SHE Who Must Be Obeyed?

I am a big fan of Randolph. One of my favorite movies is _Go West Young Man_ with him and Mae West.

No, I found it on the net! But, I did put the two together on photoshop. I didn't realize I already had the B&W, so when I saw it, I just slapped them together. I haven't the expertise to colorize, and I envy those who can.

Here is another pic of that feather number from _Two Weeks in Another Town._

Beautiful Baby Jean making herself beautiful!

Film Fatale, who is that woman? You MUST identify photos for those who don't know.

Patsy Kelly

Ha! It's gonna be pretty crowded in there with all those people, but I guess she snuck in there without me looking. Thought you might enjoy reading this: "To help maintain the illusion, she lives in a kind of time capsule. Her Hollywood apartment, which she has had since 1932, is still decorated in the style of the '30s, when she was one of the screen's highest-paid performers. A vase of fake white calla lilies stands on a white piano across from a white couch that rests against a mirror set in an off-white wall. Two 32-in.-high nude statues of her stand on the piano, a nude painting of her hangs on the wall, and there are photographs of her everywhere. Hers is an egocentricity so forthright and complete as to be pure, like that of a six-month-old baby, happy in the discovery of her body." "At 84 Mae West Is Still Mae West" By HP-Time.com;Gerald Clarke Monday, May. 22, 1978

Well, considering these would be the only films in a TIME CAPSULE, I guess I would only put in films representing the Golden Age. So, here goes. Whoever opens the capsule gets the following: *Animation: Snow White 1937* (It seems to be the general consensus, and it was his first and probably his best work, but I do like Max Fleischer?s Gulliver?s Travels and Hoppity Goes to Town.) *Comedy: Easy Living 1937* (This one is so funny; it would be funny 100 years from now; although, it was a tough choice between that and The Horn Blows at Midnight.) *Drama: Dinner at Eight 1933* (This one includes everyone! And, they get to see Harlow.) *Family: Sinbad the Sailor 1947* (I chose this one for many reasons. Families can watch it together and the boys get the action and the girls get the romance, but everyone get Maureen O?Hara in color!) *Film Noir: Dead Reckoning 1947* (You have to have Bogey. I almost included Bacall, but I like Lizabeth so much better.) *Horror: Dracula 1931* (It was a tough choice between Frankenstein and Dracula, but I finally decided the concept of Dracula was more horrifying.) *Musical: Ziefeld Girl 1941* (They have to see Lamarr, and you also get Lana and Judy!) *Mystery: Laura 1944* (It has to be Laura cause you can?t leave Tierney out of the capsule!) *Romance: Camille 1936* (They also have to see Garbo.) *Sci-Fi: Between Two Worlds 1944* (Even though this isn?t a ?trip to the moon,? the transitioning between the here and the afterlife to me is certainly science fiction.) *Western: Stagecoach 1939* (They get Wayne, Trevor, and Mitchell!) It is too bad I couldn't get Mae West in there somehow!

You know, I really appreciate your straight forward, matter-of-fact argument. I had never thought of any of the circumstances leading to Gilbert's end as so ordinary. Although I find it difficult to completely dismiss Mayer's loathing for Gilbert and his involvement in his demise, I think you just may be on to something there. Thanks for planting the seed. It is too bad he wasn't able to change the mind of the public into accepting him in a different light. Jean Harlow changed her image at least three times. From _Hell's Angels_ to _Hold Your Man_ she was a wanton floozy. Then, depending on the film, she was sort of a floozy or a respectable woman, and by the end of her career she was "MYRNA LOY!" The public didn't seem to mind her changing. And, personally I thought _Gentleman's Fate_ was very good, good enough to have opened some doors in the gangster film genre. Maybe Gilbert would have been good as a gangster of sorts. Again, Dick Powell went from singing idol to detective/film noir star.

Cary Grant was in _She Done Him Wrong_ with Mae West

Hey, Sarah. There are two movies I would recommend. The first is with Lucille Ball as the star: _Best Foot Forward_. It is very funny, and June, Gloria DeHaven, and Nancy Walker (all very young and beautiful, well June and Gloria anyway) have supporting roles. Very entertaining. The second is _Good News_, which is always the one from her early pictures that they tout in film compilations like _That's Entertainment_. She stars opposite a young Peter Lawford. It is great, good, clean fun. And, it gives you an insight into campus life back in the days of good, clean fun.

Wow! That _Bride Wore Red_ dress is F A B U L O U S!
