Birthday Lady: A Helluva Christmas Gift
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Dec 24, 2008
On Christmas Eve 1922, Ava Gardner joined this low world and made it, somehow, for 67 years more radiant, more extraordinary.

Ottawa must be a really nice city...
Caftan Woman Posted by Caftan Woman on Dec 4, 2008
So many folks are so anxious to set up permanent residence. There's the slow, but steady Conservative PM of the "minority, but more than he had last time government". The Liberal leader who lost in excess of 20 seats in the last election a couple of weeks back. The smug NDP super-spender. Oh, an read more
Portrait of a Shady Lady
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Nov 8, 2008
She may have ended her life as one of the screen's beloved characters, a second-tier, more rough-and-tumble Jessica Tandy, but in her youth Sylvia Sidney was something of a fast baggage and, as we see here, not without her charms. These she did not hesitate to use, parlaying a romance with Paramount read more

Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Nov 8, 2008
110 today is silent siren Marie Prevost, seen here at the height of her considerable charm.A top star for half-a-dozen years in the early and mid-20s, Marie had a saucy gleam and a terrific figure; even in a getup as bizarre as this, she seems oddly contemporary. Sadly, the coming of sound, the bott read more

Rosalind Russell ended her career one of the Biggest of the Big - Wonderful Town's gala Ruth, Auntie Mame, Mama Rose.I kind of love, though, that she spent so long paying her dues.

A lot of weather we've been having lately!
