The Hitherto Unmentioned: Hail and Farewell
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Jan 9, 2015
Now, Rod Taylor may not have been an actor for the ages, but I think we can agree that he was easy on the eyes.
And I have to admit I had no idea he was Australian. Also, I would have sworn that he was one of Joan Crawford's boy toys in one of her lesser '50s epics, which is apparently not th read more
Birthday Girl: Miss Glory
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Jan 3, 2015
All best returns on her 118th birthday to the lovely and talented (geniunely) Miss Marion Davies. She's seen here looking wistful in an atmospheric snap by Mr. Hurrell. Has anyone ever seen a color photograph of Marion, a real one, that is? I can't find one, but I think she must ha read more

Three on a Match
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Jan 2, 2015
A trio of lovely, crazy people share a moment. There is a lot going on in this snap, and I can't quite believe I've never seen it before.
I can't decide which I find more intriguing: Lady Olivier's expression of utter concentration, like that of a hummingbird nourishing itself on a lil read more

Goodnight Mrs. Ziegfeld, Wherever You Are
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Dec 30, 2014
And as the year ends, another chapter closes...
The lights went out last night in a flat in London's elegant Eaton Square, as for the last time two of the most limpid eyes ever caught on film closed forever. Luise Rainer, a lingering wisp of pre-War glamour, has left us, and we're the poorer read more

The Hitherto Unmentioned: Miss Hollywood
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Nov 22, 2014
Reading an interview this morning with Miss Anjelica Huston got me thinking, in several different directions.
First, that she is a woman of uncommon sense and perspective; it's one of the sanest and most interesting performer's interviews I've read in a long time. She manages to be self-aware read more

Grace Under Pressure
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Nov 12, 2014
As the years passed, she increasingly looked as if not every aspect of the bargain she'd made had worked out quite as expected...
Other film stars had become tinpot marquises or married dubious princes; Grace Kelly grabbed a real one, or at least as real a version as could have at the time been ima read more

A Birthday Pepper Pot, Vitaphone-Style
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Oct 21, 2014
Just a day late, here's a chance to celebrate not one but two October birthdays, and if the package this birthday gift is all wrapped up in is a little dated, the contents cram more talent into just about ten minutes than some studio super-spectaculars did into two hours plus...

Mystic Crystal Revelation
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Oct 18, 2014
For reasons that will shortly become clear, I've been thinking about Hair, the 1979 film of which has to me always seemed too-little-shouted-about.
Here is its opening, which I probably haven't seen in years, but which when I first watched it this morning took my breath away all over again. read more

Birthday Girl: Heart of the World
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Oct 14, 2014
Let's lift a glass, on this her 121st birthday, to the First Lady of Cinema, Miss Lillian Gish. She's captured here by Steichen in the mid '30s, and he's caught an element of her she rarely showed in public.
Here she's no shrinking silent-movie violet, nor is she genial great lady, the person read more

Shameless Saturday Camp Explosion: Hi-dee...No
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Oct 11, 2014
One of the many topics in regard to which I heartily agree with Mr. Ethan Mordden (novelist, raconteur, and entertainment historian par excellence) is the regrettability of the extent to which Hollywood (and, to a lesser extent, the stage) embraced the idea of the New Dance Sensation Number.

As Tears Go By
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Sep 24, 2014
I learned a little something this past weekend...
You see, I was puttering around dealing with the ongoing aftereffects of moving (more bookshelves arrived at the beginning of the weekend, and the nice men who put the bookshelves together arrived toward the middle, the Mister and I having decided t read more
