🎶 By George, I think she's got it! Great work, Bunny, and back to you... 🙂

Thanks, Peebs! That was a fun question. Also cool that the films themselves happened to be in chronological order as well. 🙂 Next: Ian Keith Timothée Chalamet Miles Mander Dominic West Charlton Heston Hint: the actors are listed in the historical (and numerical) order of the characters they played.

The right side of this painting always reminds me of the Thalia theater on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, which was right down the street from where my parents lived. But apparently (at least according to Wikipedia), it's a imaginative composite of several different New York movie theaters: "While the theater depicted in New York Movie is entirely designed by him, he took inspiration from the Palace Theatre (New York City), the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre (at the time known as the Globe Theatre), the Republic Theater (now known as the New Victory Theater, and the Strand Theatre (Manhattan), making over fifty sketches of the theaters before he began the project. Hopper was fascinated by film, and it is said that, when experiencing creative block, he would stay at the theater all day."

Well, this photo (recently a topic of discussion on the Post an Interesting Pic thread) is from sometime during his 1958-1960 military service, when he was between 23 and 25 years old: Still looks borderline "pretty" to me. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, and was certainly part of his early appeal.
