MOVIE ROLE MODEL: JOAN CRAWFORD, GENE TIERNEY AND BARBARA STANWYCK IN A SUIT
A Person in the Dark Posted by FlickChick on Sep 20, 2014
All of my role models were movie or TV stars. I’m sorry – no public servants, no servants of God, no philanthropists. What can I say? I’m shallow (but in a deep sort of way).

A really late-era p1202, with special guest star...
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Sep 19, 2014
Until this morning, I believed this sultry image -- Paramount p1202-1719 -- was the last image of Carole Lombard Paramount ever issued in its p1202 series, which had dated back to soon after she arrived at the studio in 1930. But it turns out I was wrong...and I almost missed it. And, for that, you read more
Being a Princess Would Suck: Roman Holiday
Cary Grant Won't Eat You Posted by Judy on Sep 18, 2014
Like most girls, I was born wanting to be a princess, though I preferred Belinda from The Practical Princess to helpless Cinderella. Unlike for many of my peers, this desire ended quite early for me. The wedding of Princess Di lasted far too long for my attention span, and what was up with that poof read more

A quintet of Carole from Walter
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Sep 18, 2014
Few Carole Lombard fans would label "Love Before Breakfast" as one of her finest moments on screen, but this 1936 Universal comedy has its charms. And if you're a fan of the film, this might be of interest to you -- Walter Reuben at the fine site Walterfilm has a rare poster from the movie on sale:S read more
A Rock Hudson-Piper Laurie Double Feature
Classic Film & TV Cafe Posted by Rick29 on Sep 18, 2014
For much of the 1950s, Universal Studios paired Rock Hudson with its most promising young actresses in modestly-budgeted films.
