VP19 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Director William Wellman ("Midnight Mary," "Wild Boys Of The Road," "Nothing Sacred") was also a leap year baby, born Feb. 29, 1896. Since there was no Feb. 29 in 1900 (there are none in years ending in "00" where the first two digits are not divisible by four), it meant Wellman didn't celebrate a birthday on his actual day until he turned eight!

OllieTSB Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Thanks, Super M. I love that Barrymore photo - I know they're aware of faces and gestures but those are so perfect... And thanks for the great Jane Russell photo. I have enjoyed seeing her in gray-haired splendor in these last few years, still so able to put on "the broad" type of character, and in no uncertain terms.

fredbaetz Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 March 3 was sadly a bad time to be born for some beside our beloved Jean Harlow: Bobby Driscoll died of a drug related overdose at age 31. His body was found in a vacant lot in Greenwich Village with no I.D. and was buried in Hart Island N.Y. aka "Potters Field" Over a year before it was discovered who he was..... Cathy Downs died from cancer at age 54, so down on her luck that her ex was setting up a trust fund when she died.... Gia Scala died of a drug and alcohol overdose at age 38.... Diana Barrymore daughter of John died at 38 of alcohol and sleeping pill overdose..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredbaetz Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 So sad and such a waste. The picture of Wally Cassell in in fact Freddie Steele. He played Sgt Warnicki in "The Story of G.I. Joe", he kept looking for a record player to listen to his son's voice. Wally Cassell who was also in "TSoGIJ" played Pvt Dendaro who caresses Robert Mitchum's face at the end of the movie when they bring Mitchums dead body down the mountain on a mule...

fredbaetz Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 According to studio lore, the Dead End Kids pulled pranks on almost everyone on the set of "Angels With Dirty Faces" including stealing Bogie's pants. But when Leo Gorcey tried to pull one on Cagney all he got was a stiff arm above his nose. You didn't mess with the Cagney... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
