My gosh, the last time I posted it was cold outside and I was showing off our classic celebs in fur. That is the sad state of things around here. So far behind on everything and I apologize about that. Especially to those of you who have been loyal commenters, visitors here.<br />
<br />
I started a new job recently which is taking up a lot of my evenings then there's my need to Tweet about politics and other stuff. (We are in the midst of a major election here though, so keeping up with politics should be on everyone's agenda.)<br />
<br />
My main thing lately though is working to adopt a dog. Since my parents dogs both passed I have been extremely depressed about it and feeling like it's time I get my own little companion. Adoption is the route I plan to take as there are so many adorable little furry babies in need of a home. My dog breed of choice is an English Bulldog and they certainly aren't cheap. Now that I've confused everyone of course the next step is to post some classic celebrities with their loyal companions. (Aren't you thrilled I'm not posting photos of more fur? ha ha) It's over 100 degrees here so that would just be silly!<br />

Hello, loyal readers!<br />
I apologize for my extended absence. I'm back now and ready to move forward with my snarky photo reviews, fun series on Classic Hollywood fashion then what readers find most interesting, my Hollywood at Home posts. I won't spoil the surprise with who's homes we'll tour in 2016 so stay tuned. I've got a lot to blog about and I appreciate your patience and for my loyal readers, thank you so much for coming back these past 4 years. It means the world to me.<br />
<br />
Today, it's 35 degrees here so nothing like a Fabulous In Fur post as we approach the holidays.<br />

Silent actress, Alice Brady must have been on the downside of her career here as they pieced together one of Errol Flynn's coats and Mae West's garter to make her a simple muff. Still, it's enough fur to land on my winter Fabulous Fur post. If you're up there, Alice, you made it!</div>

Virgina Bruce is dressed in her full length fur as she testifies during her third husband Ali Ipar's trial that landed him in prison.

The very demure, Marion Davies is perfection here. Like a yard sale full of marked down cotton balls. Except, it's really expensive fur. This had to be the photo William Randolph Hearst saw that drove him mad to be with her.<br />

This is the sexiest publicity still I've seen of Betty Hutton. Kitten heels, the baby blue ribbon and the spray tan.

My apologies for leaving my loyal readers waiting for a new post. I shall do my best to insure this blog stays current going forward.<br />
As the weather dips down into the teens tonight I realized I haven't done my Fabulous In Fur series once this winter and here it is February. That's a crime. <br />
Well, a fashion crime anyway.<br />
<br />
Lets not waste any more time and get right into our favorite classic stars sporting fur back when it was not only fashionable but the norm. (Again, my apologies to PETA.)<br />

This was my contribution to the CMBA Forgotten Stars Blogathon. For a full list of all the wonderful articles written by my fellow members you can find them <a href="http://clamba.blogspot.com/2014/10/cmba-fall-blogathon-forgotten-stars.html">HERE.</a> Due to a death in the family I wasn't able to get it posted during the Blogathon but I wanted to publish it for anyone interested in learning more about the life and career of the demure, Lois Moran.<br />
<br />
It wasn't difficult to find a star to write about for this Blogathon, my list is long on who I want to feature here on my blog. Sadly, it's finding the time to do so these days. I was speaking to my mother about a handful of stars when trying to decide and I knew I had chosen the right actor to write about when I mentioned Lois Moran and my mother, who is one of the biggest cinephiles I know, said "I've never heard of her. What was she in?"<br />

Lois was born in Pittsburgh in 1909 to Irish immigrants but sadly she lost her father in an accident at the age of one. Her mother, Gladys would in just a few short years marry a Pittsburgh doctor who stepped into to his role, providing a comfortable lifestyle for his newfound family. Lois was immediately placed in private Catholic school at Setin Hill Academy where she flourished.<br />
<br />
Popular and studious, Lois was a happy child at Setin, even after the sudden loss of her step father to influenza when she was just nine years old. It was once again Lois and Gladys who continued to dote on her daughter while enrolling her in singing and ballet classes. Whatever it took to make Lois stage ready when her big break came. She wouldn't need to wait long.<br />
<br />
Within a few short years of being widowed, Gladys realized she needed a change of scenery for herself and for 12 yr old Lois so their bags were packed, belongings sold before setting sail for Europe. First destination France where Lois would develop her lifelong love of art and the theater. All financed by Lois's wealthy Aunt Edith.<br />
<br />
After a short few months living in Tours France, The duo headed back to Paris where they would take up residence at the Hotel Fleurus. Lois was a lucky little girl as this was the residence of Gertrude Stein and other famous expats who had fled to the City of Lights for inspiration, a new way of life. Ground Zero for the Modernist Movement. Lois would visit Stein's salon on several occasions while living at the hotel, mingling with other famous writers, artists and during one of her visits she was photographed by Man Ray. She was just 13 at the time. (I keep thinking of the 2011 film <i>Midnight In Paris</i> for some reason. Does anyone else? The scenes of Gertrude Stein's salon at the hotel, all the famous artists wandering in and out.)<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Gertrude Stein entertains company in her famous salon at Hotel Fleurus during the 1920s. Lois was one of the lucky visitors to the salon on several occasions and also a resident of the Hotel. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Gladys' main priority was finding Lois proper dance instruction so she set out to the Paris Opera where Lois tried out for the Opera Ballet. She was excepted and immediately began dance lessons in their eurhythmics school. Studying Russian and French dance techniques, Lois even found herself getting to dance with Trefilova. Of course, investing so much time in dance classes, she found very little time for proper schooling so Gladys hired her a tutor so she could keep up with her studies when not at the Opera House.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
While Lois had a dream of becoming a professional ballet dancer her mother came to realize, Lois would have a better chance as an actor so she soon set out to make that come to pass. The Moran's were known locally in Paris and Lois already had professional portraits on display in some of the galleries thanks to some of her famous friends. These photos came to the attention of a certain French director, L'Herbier who thought Lois would be perfect for the role of a ballerina in his next film <i>La galerie des monstres. </i>Of course there was the small formality of a screen test which Lois, at a very mature 15, had no difficulties with. It was 1925 and Lois, or shall I say Gladys was seeing her dreams come true. Paris really was the city of opportunity and new beginnings.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
L'Herbier was so pleased with Lois' performance he cast her in his next film <i>The Living Dead Man </i>which was filmed on location in Italy at the end of 1924. Lois enjoyed filming on location, reveling in shooting scenes in and around the Colosseum then late night dinners in some of the best restaurants, outdoor cafes in Rome. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Lois so enjoyed making movies with L'Herbier, once her second film wrapped, she mailed some of her photographs to D.W. Griffith and Samuel Goldwyn in Hollywood. (Cheered on by momma Gladys, of course.) Griffith showed little interest but Samuel Goldwyn was in the middle of casting for his next pet project <i>Stella Dallas</i>. A collaboration with United Artists and one Goldwyn would spend exhaustive hours insuring every last detail was perfect. Lois was cast as Laurel Dallas opposite Douglas Fairbanks Jr, Jean Hersholt, Alice Joyce, Ronald Coleman and Belle Bennett in the lead as Stella. After much begging by Goldwyn, silent director, Henry King would eventually sign on as well. Some would say, Lois had the most challenging role in the film as her character had to age 10 years during the film. From age 10 to adulthood.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Unlike the other actors in the film, Lois was an unknown to American audiences so Goldwyn had the bright idea to add a morality clause to her Stella contract to pique the publics interest. Notably it stated she was not to bob her hair, use red lipstick or rouge, go barelegged, roll up her stockings or smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol. When the movie magazines got wind of the clause they must have thought they had found a Parisian courtesan. It was all so silly since Lois was a proper teenage girl with no desire to cause a stir in the states with lude or scandalous behavior.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The hard work, tireless efforts by all involved would pay off with sold out screenings at the Apollo Theatre in New York with the who's who of stage and screen in attendance followed quickly after by stellar reviews from coast to coast. Even Lois, still considered a child actress in her first American film, wasn't ignored when the accolades were handed out. Quite the opposite. The Hollywood players took notice and the contract offers would begin as soon as the film premiered. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The only problem. Lois did not want to be under the constraints of a studio contract as she grew to love New York while filming <i>Stella Dallas. </i>With its shopping, street after street of shops, galleries and mainly the theater scene, she wanted to remain in New York and try her hand on the stage. Perhaps, she was reminiscing about her time in Paris and the dirt roads and open fields of southern California during the 1920s certainly didn't compare. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Without being under contract at a studio, Lois spent the next few months attending parties, banquets and plays in NYC while studio heads fumed that they could not tie her down like so many before and after her. She would star in her second film soon enough though but it was fellow actor, Richard Barthelmess who convinced her to appear as his leading lady in his next film, <i>Just Suppose </i>in 1926. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The film got mixed reviews, mostly for its weak script but Lois was praised for her on screen chemistry with Barthelmess in the romantic drama given their age difference. Lois was 16 and Richard was 30 during filming. <span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">It was during this time that Paramount considered Lois for the lead in the
film adaptation of <i>The Great Gatsby.</i> An interesting factoid when you
consider her connection to F. Scott Fitzgerald in just a few short months then
in later years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Any girl would have been
over the moon to have been considered for the role of Daisy but Lois, while
flattered voiced she would much prefer appearing in the films <i>Peter Pan </i>or<i>
Cinderella. </i>Instead she was cast in <i>Reckless Lady</i> with Ben Lyon,
James Kirkwood and her co-star from <i>Stella Dallas, </i>Belle Bennett, for
which she was thrilled.</span><br />

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">In just a few short weeks after rapping <i>Reckless Lady</i>, Lois was offered a
role in the much anticipated <i>Padlocked</i> at Paramount. Previously,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lois had taken on film projects filmed in and
around New York but <i>Padlocked</i> was being filmed entirely in and around Los
Angeles so Lois, reluctantly headed West for her next adventure with momma,
Gladys in tow. </span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><i>Padlocked</i> was directed by Allen Dwan and starred Noah Beery,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Louise Dresser and another of Lois' co-stars
from Stella Dallas, Douglas Fairbanks Jr.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>While it had a top tier cast and director, the film itself opened to
mixed reviews. All for not though as Lois had her opportunity to dance on film.
An opportunity she relished.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Having lost out for the lead in <i>The Great Gatsby</i>, Lois was again considered for a big role in another upcoming Paramount picture, <i>The American Venus</i>. A film where Lois could once again show off her dancing abilities. Louise Brooks and Esther Ralston were also up for the role but Lois thought for sure it was hers, having just danced to rave reviews in another Paramount production, <i>Padlocked</i>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">It was during the negotiations for the role when it came to Gladys's attention that Lois's character would be dressed in costumes that were just too risqué, vulgar for her taste. That was the end of discussions and the part went to Esther Ralston. On the the next project.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Lois's next film would be a big departure for her and a bit intimidating as she was cast to play Lon Chaney's daughter in the dark drama, <i>The Road
to Mandalay</i>. But there was no need for Lois to worry as Chaney, the consummate professional went out of his way to make her feel comfortable while giving her acting advise she would welcome, use throughout her career. She also grew quite fond of the director of the film, Tod Browning. A man she looked up to and admired even though he showed up on the set most days inebriated. The film would also give Lois billing right below Chaney, a first for the 16 year old.</span><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><br /></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">One particular situation Lois witnessed while filming <i>The Road to Mandalay</i> showed her just how professional and dedicated Chaney was to his craft. While he faced makeup challenges, grueling hours in the makeup chair every morning before filming during his career up until now, for this film he was also fitted with glass shields that completely covered both eyes in order to give them the opaque white appearance on film. This caused him considerable pain, to the point he was only able to film for short periods of time before breaks to give his eyes rest. In later years, when interviewed, Lois looked back on her time working with Chaney as the high point of her career. Always speaking fondly of the brilliant actor, whom she admired greatly.</span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Shortly after wrapping The Road to Mandalay, Lois went back to work immediately filming <i>Prince of Tempters </i>with Ben Lyon and Lya de Putti then <i>God Gave Me Twenty Cents</i> with Lya and Jack Mulhall. Sadly, these are just two of so many silent films that have been lost over time. Lois was also up for the lead in <i>Sunrise</i></span><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"> which went to another young star, Janet Gaynor, propelling her to stardom.</span><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"> For the first time Lois was also vocal about losing a role to another actress. Even at her young age she knew it was the role of a lifetime.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Lois was also given the opportunity to move back to New York during this time while filming Prince of Tempters. And knowing Gladys's taste in housing, you can expect they lived to the nines while residing in Manhattan during this latest excursion. While there were no Stein's or Matisse's in residence at the Old Colony House, Abbey Rockerfeller did live right across the hall from their apartment. (Aunt Edith must have had very deep pockets!)</span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">As 1927 approached, Lois had already achieved a lot career wise, with 7 feature length films and one short under her belt for the previous year. She had kept busy but now feeling comfortable in her own skin, making friends in Hollywood and getting to work with such huge names in the business, she had not a care in the world. Well perhaps more worries than other 17 year olds but for a Hollywood star in high demand, she was having the time of her life. </span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">Back in New York during this time, her mother was making connections and using her outgoing personality to get Lois invited to all the best parties, banquets. On one such occasion Lois was introduced to George Gershwin's brother, Ira and his wife, Leonore. The couple felt Lois would hit it off with George so they went about setting up a formal meeting for the two. Lois would soon attend afternoon tea with Mr. Gershwin and they did indeed hit it off as they developed a fast friendship that would last until his death in the 30s. Lois so admired the man and looked to him as a mentor, guiding her and giving her advice on how to reach her full potential musically. She not only wanted to dance on Broadway but it was also her dream to sing on the stage one day. With Gershwin's guidance, perhaps this too would pass. She certainly had been a lucky girl so far. </span><br />

Unbeknown to Gladys though, Lois became melancholy and homesick within days. She missed the United States so their trip was cut short and they set sail once again on the Leviathan.</span><br />

There were premiers to attend, parties, publicity pressers for her recent films which she now enjoyed. She would continue to meet new friends in the literary and art world during this time, as she had just a few short years ago in Paris. Although, now Lois was blooming into a beautiful and sophisticated young woman. Not yet involved in an adult relationship, she certainly had her fair share of crushes on her leading men like Ronald Coleman and Richard Barthelmess. Nothing serious but that would soon change all thanks to Mary Pickford.</span><br />

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">In January of 1927, Gladys and Lois took the train back to Hollywood so Lois could get busy finding her next script. It was also during this time that F.Scott Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda were visiting Los Angeles where they were guests at the then opulent Ambassador Hotel. Hobnobbing with movie folk after soon discovering John Barrymore was renting out a bungalow on one side of them and Pola Negri the other. </span><br />

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">The Fitzgerald's were in sunny California due to an offer for F.Scott to write a couple of films to be produced by Feature Productions and shopped to United Artists. Specifically to star Constance Talmadge. Although, Fitzgerald had written for films previously and had just come off of the success of <i>The Great</i> <i>Gatsby</i> the year before, he was there for the simple fact he was badly in need of money and the movie industry was paying him a small fortune to do what he did best. </span><br />

At a formal afternoon luncheon with the who's who of Hollywood in attendance, a 17 year old Lois, was also there. Fitzgerald became infatuated with her almost immediately. He was 30 and in an unhappy marriage at the time. She was enamored, innocent and over the moon that this incredibly talented writer wanted to become friends. </span><br />

Gladys even helped with the convenience of it all by renting an apartment closer to The Ambassador Hotel even though they still had their larger home in Beverly Hills. </span><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">I'm sure it was all perfectly normal for the writer to stop by for a quick bite to eat with his new friend and her teen daughter. The Modernist Movement she so enjoyed had finally made its way across the pond to dusty California. </span><br />

Hello to all my fellow bloggers and blog visitors. I greatly apologize for my absence these past few weeks.<br />
As some of you may know, my beloved father passed away a little over two weeks ago now. It's painful to even type these words.<br />
<br />
So many of you have heard me over the years speak about my father and his love of Westerns. Even during his last days while in the hospital one of his main complaints was the hospital didn't get the Western Channel. We laughed a bit about that and I told him mom had better prepare herself when he got home to hear Gene Autry blaring from the other room again.<br />
<br />
He gave so much joy to so many during his life. A hard worker, a loving and dedicated father and husband, a loyal friend to many and one thing he found during his last years was an extended family with the Patriot Guard Riders. I'll never forget our conversations in recent years where dad shared his enthusiasm for having the honor of giving back to his fellow Vets, fallen soldiers. And in a touching tribute, each of his fellow Patriot Guard Riders where there to honor my dad as well in a beautiful send off. I know he would have been proud. Of course, never more proud than I am to have been able to have called him my dad. We were truly blessed.<br />
<br />
Hopefully he's getting to catch up on his Westerns now and in peace.<br />
<br />

On a blog related note: I am so sorry I missed all the entries for the CMBA Forgotten Stars Blogathon but I'll do my best to go back and read each post. I'll also post my Lois Moran tribute this coming weekend. Of course, like most of my posts, it's so long I think I'll have to do it in at least 3 parts. She had an interesting life I think you'll be interested in reading about.<br />
<br />
I'll see you all soon. All the best!<br />

Hi, everyone!<br />
I hope you're enjoying your holiday and you've had a great summer. It's still very hot here so I thought it would be fun to take one final look back at our favorite classic stars having fun in the sun before I move on to my fall series.<br />

I'm back and ready to share more from my trip to Atlanta. While there I had the pleasure of touring the Margaret Mitchell Museum which is located at her residence in downtown Atlanta.<br />
<br />
Before I get started with the photo tour let me give you a bit of back story on the residence and its importance. The three story home was built in 1899. Originally a single family home, it was turned into apartments during the early 1920s. Margaret and her husband, John Marsh took up residence in a first floor apartment there in 1925.<br />
<br />
The residence has a lot of significance due to it being Mitchell's residence while she wrote <em>Gone With the Wind. </em>Long after Margaret's death, the apartment building was left abandoned but luckily Atlanta city officials stepped in during the late 80s and deemed the residence a Historical Landmark.<br />
<br />
The museum has been open to the public since 1997 but not before setbacks. While renovations were underway the structure was damaged by fire in 1994 and again in 1996. For more background on the residence and tour info please click the link <a href="http://www.atlantahistorycenter.com/mmh">HERE.</a><br />
<br />
(I apologize in advance for my photo skills. Some were taken with my digital camera which ran out of space so I reverted to my iPhone.)<br />

One of the first things you see is this stunning portrait from the film of Vivien's character, Scarlett O'Hara. It's hard to get just how large it is from the photo but I would guess it's at least 6 feet tall. I think it was displayed in the parlor at Tara in the film. (Perhaps GWTW fans can help me out with that.)</div>

It really is a wonderful museum for any film or literature fan. If you haven't had the opportunity to visit I do hope you'll get the chance if you happen to be in Atlanta. You can click the above link for tour hours, pricing and a map.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Right after going to the museum we were just around the corner from the famous soul food restaurant, Mary Mac's Tea Room so we had to stop in there and gorge on the most amazing southern dishes. The staff there are beyond friendly and welcoming. There have been so many famous faces come through their doors over the years as the walls of photos show. I can certainly see why they've been one of Atlanta's most popular restaurants since they opened their doors in 1945. For more info you can click <a href="http://www.marymacs.com/">HERE</a></div>

Of course I had to show some food. I went crazy with chicken fried chicken, fried green tomatoes, mac n cheese, dressing and gravy, corn bread and not pictured is key lime pie. Luckily when you stay in downtown Atlanta you get the opportunity to walk a little bit off. </div>

I hope you enjoyed Part Two of my Atlanta tour. I'll be finishing up at the Fabulous Fox Theater next.</div>

Just like magic their chariot is in top notch condition. Leopard interiors and the gold phone works well enough to dial up Max who's only several inches away.

Nor is the fact all the locks and knobs have been removed due to Norma's propensity for suicide attempts. Other rules in the main house. No razor blades and the gas has to be turned off at night.

As Norma goes to change for her next routine, Joe daydreams about Betty. You've wasted what seems like 10 years in this asylum Joe. It's time to map out an escape route before you end up like Hear No Evil. By the way are you ever going to get around to asking who or what killed the monkey?</div>

We're headed out again but this time to Paramount to meet up with Cecille B. DeMille. Norma seems to have aged 30 years on the ride over. Maybe this is why she stays in dimly lit rooms under veils.

It's time to have another look back at our favorite stars as they posed and tried their best to show us they were out enjoying the Spring weather like the rest of us commoners.<br />

Jennifer Jones and Robert Walker enjoy a picnic with the boys. (They were stylish but also a healthy couple. This is the first time I've seen a picnic consisting of a bottle of orange juice, a couple of apples and a sad little orange. I can only imagine what's in the canned good is strained prunes or some spinach.)</div>

If you missed Part One of my post on the Georgian Terrace Hotel please click the link <a href="http://myloveofoldhollywood.blogspot.com/2014/01/touring-atlanta-part-one-of-three.html">HERE</a>. When I ended Part One we were in the swing of things, with the hotel at the height of its popularity at the beginning of the 1940s. Gone With the Wind had just premiered at Loews Grand Atlanta with the cast enjoying their stay, reception at the hotel.<br />
<br />
You might even be asking yourself, "What more needs to be said about this hotel after the GWTW premier?" Well, let me tell you.<br />

Seven years after GWTW had its premier where the streets were blocked off for the throws of fans hoping to get a glimpse of Gable, Leigh and de Havilland, Atlanta would roll out the carpet once again for Walt Disney. It was 1946 and Walt would return for the long waited but controversial premier of <i>Song of the South. </i>This time the Fox Theater, directly across the street from the Georgian Terrace would host the event. And once again, Walt would stay at the grand hotel, enjoying its world class amenities. </div>

Walt Disney arrives in Atlanta to throngs of fans.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Just a year before, the Georgian Terrace had been transformed into residential hotel, installing air conditioning and full kitchens into each unit. Now the upper class could stay long term, enjoying first class service 365 days a year. </div>

We were celebrating a trip to Atlanta and getting to tour the Fox Theater after hours but I wonder if Walt was also celebrating his long awaited release of <i>Song of the South?</i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully, Walt enjoyed some time on one of the tiled wrap balconies while there.<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Of course, Walt and the cast of GWTW weren't the only notable guests throughout the years. Elvis Presley, Tallulah Bankhead, Rudolph Valentino,<i> </i>Helen Keller, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Charles Lindbergh not to mention presidents, Calvin Coolidge and Warren Harding enjoyed stays at the hotel. <i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Yes, the 20s throughout the 40s were a majestic time for the towering hotel in the center of downtown Atlanta. But like most things, affected by economic downturns and war, the hotel would find itself going through changes and not for the better as the 50s approached.<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Long gone was the ladies carriage entrance on the Ponce de Leon side of the hotel, along with the vivid green awnings that protected guests from the blazing Atlanta sun.<i> </i>No, it was a new era<i> </i>with the public staying at home and entertaining themselves in front of the television or radio. Welcome technology which transported everyone to another place, still grandiose and wonderful.<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
With Atlanta enjoying all that the 50s offered, there was a need to utilize areas of the hotel, not only to make some money but to draw new guests and visitors to the hotel. That opportunity presented itself when WAKE-AM radio, formerly radio station WBGE rented out part of the first floor of the hotel.<i><br /></i></div>

It would appear the butter brick needs a good steam cleaning and the carriage entrances have long since been replaced with wrought iron barred windows. Also gone is the early downtown trolley line which delivered visitors to the hotel's front doors.</div>

Looking at the same side of the hotel and how it appears today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The WAKE radio station would remain at The Georgian Terrace until the early 1960s and the hotel would still attract guests, goers of the Atlanta Opera but the grand dame was badly in need of renovations. Newer hotels with modern amenities were being built in downtown Atlanta to attract tourists, meet the demands of new commerce, leaving The Georgian Terrace behind. Sure, guests wanted to stay where Clark Gable once slept and it was a just a stones throw away from the popular Fox Theater. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As the years went by, the debilitated hotel, no longer able to attract long term guests, spiraled into a financial decline. By 1981 the inevitable would happen. For the first time in 70 years, the once opulent, Georgian Terrace would close its doors. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sadly, all during the 80s, the high rise would remain boarded up, only attracting the homeless looking for a warm place to stay or a great place for vandals to strip anything they could find to sell from the intricate tile to the hand forged wall sconces and light fixtures. Just an eye sore for Atlanta residents and a major thorn in the side for city officials and rescue workers as they were called out on a daily basis to put out fires, run off thieves at the white elephant. </div>

It must have been gut wrenching to know all of the original fixtures were being pillaged, all but forgotten.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
By 1989, Atlanta had, had enough and with much contention and vocal opposition it was decided that The Georgian Terrace would be torn down, making way for new development. The hotel clearly needed saving, a last reprieve but who would step in to save it?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The citizens of Atlanta and the Historical Society would save it! YAY for loud voices and those working tirelessly to protect the history of our cities. In 1989 The Georgian Terrace Hotel was deemed a historical landmark where it remains as part of the Fox Theatre District on the National Register of Historical Places.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The property quickly found a buyer and the new owners got to work turning the high rise into luxury apartments. With renovations a new 19 story wing was erected, with its glass spiral entrance, proudly greeting guests on the southeast side of the hotel, still facing Peachtree. A spectacular rooftop pool was also built, with red brick balconies facing Ponce where guests could enjoy a growing Atlanta skyline and breathtaking views.</div>

It was December when I visited Atlanta, quiet cold and rainy but I did get myself up to the rooftop to see the views and pool area. I can picture it during the summer with bathing beauties and guests enjoying a cocktail on the upper balconies.</div>

The new owners spared no expense when it came to renovations and the private residents would enjoy these amenities until 1997 when they were forced to move to make way for the re-grand opening of The Georgian Terrace Hotel. Within the hotel you'll find the Livington Mims restaurant where you can enjoy fine dining. A concierge who is there to guide you in all Atlanta has to offer and answer all your questions about the history of the hotel. (Thank you so much, Brent!) The friendliest doormen, parking attendants and bellhops I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
But lets go back downstairs because I want to talk about the layout of the hotel and some of the architecture, original to the hotel. When it was first built in 1919, as you walked through the main lobby, you found yourself in an open courtyard with topiaries and potted shrubs. There were wrought iron chairs and tables for guests to mingle and enjoy a private outdoor seating area within the hotel walls. I found this interesting and also hilarious. You see, now that the new lobby and wing have been built, that original courtyard is now enclosed and it's used for seating, the concierge area. When you walk in and look up from each floor you see the other side and into the windows of other rooms. My first thought was, this is right out of Rear Window. Where's Jimmy Stewart with his camera? Confusing? Allow me to show you.</div>

As you enter the new, glass enclosed lobby and look up you see the old part of the hotel which used to be in the shape of a U. What was once an enclosed courtyard. </div>

Inside, as I exited the elevator to go to my room on the 6th floor, I looked across at the other old wing of the hotel and Rear Window came to mind immediately. Anyone else see it? And no, in case you were curious, I didn't witness any foul play or murder while there. Just fun, loads of fun while touring Atlanta.</div>

Old meets new! The main landing as it joins the original courtyard to the new wing. Marble staircases and floors greet you as you make your way down to the basement and more ballrooms, conference rooms. I actually love that they didn't cover the inner room windows with fake facades and that they left the original part of the hotel intact, restored it as close as possible to how it looked during its heyday. </div>

I'll be writing about the Fabulous Fox Theater, my after hours tour and the Margaret Mitchell house but first I'm going to do Part 4 of my Mary Astor bio. One of my loyal readers, Errol in Ireland reminded me that I still haven't finished it so it's on my agenda. (Thanks for being so patient with me, Errol!)</div>

Hello, everyone!<br />
We're enjoying some pretty nice weather here in the south and with Spring, you can always count on some fab photos of our favorite classic stars enjoying the outdoors. Whether it's lounging around a pool, posing for photos beside a tree or just wandering around hoping to get noticed.<br />
<br />
Let's see what the stars were up to, shall we!<br />

Hello everyone!<br />
A friend emailed me this video link and I just had to share it. Very clever to use the morphing process to show 50 beautiful women of Hollywood. Of course he missed a few that I'm sure my readers would want included, but it's still worth a look.<br />

Hello everyone! Have you recovered from Award season?<br />
<br />
I know there's been a lot of TCM Parties going on with my blog readers and fellow classic film fans but I haven't watched that many lately to comment on or review. Of course if something airs with the Gish sisters or the Talmadge sisters I make it a priority to watch.<br />
<br />
What is the reason for that? Why those silent screen dolls? Well, since you've asked. I want to see as many of their films as possible and read as much on them as possible before writing about them right here as well as sharing my Gish and Talmadge memorabilia. <br />
<br />
Not only have I been on a search of their early work on celluloid, I've purchased several books about them through Amazon. I think I've mentioned in the past how much I adore David Niven and he's one of my favorite authors. I have all of his memoirs and he really was at the top of his game when it came to writing about his colleagues, friendships in Hollywood throughout his career and beyond. Well, I'm starting to feel that way about Anita Loos. (If you've read any of her books on her time in Hollywood you'll know what I mean.)<br />
<br />
There just aren't many good books out there on the Talmage sisters or the Gish sisters that I'm aware of. But I did manage to find <i>The Talmage Girls </i>by Anita Loos. Written in 1979. Loos had been a fixture around Hollywood from its early days, writing many scripts for Biograph beginning in 1915 then appearing in a few pictures, thanks to a chance meeting with D.W. Griffith. She knew all of the movers and shakers, deal makers and the starlets who landed in Tinseltown looking for their big break. She developed lifelong friendships with a lucky few then went on to write several books about these friends and her ups and downs in Hollywood. <br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
A little banged up but a must have book if you're a fan of Norma or Constance. (Like how I managed to fit my Oscar nail in there?) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Her book on the Talmage sisters doesn't cover their entire lives nor does it go into that much detail about their careers in Hollywood other than a list of their films with Anita's thoughts towards the end of the book. I wish she had used this opportunity to give us a full bio on their lives. With that said, I'll take what I can get. Anita writes with humor and she's honest about her subjects so that alone is worth purchasing this book. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On to the next book I'm reading. <i>Cast of Thousands </i>by Anita Loos. Published in 1977. This is a thick, coffee table book. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The dust cover is pretty banged up but for $1.99 it was well worth the money.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
The description of the contents reads "A pictorial memoir of the most glittering stars of Hollywood and the most dazzling of the world's literary and social lights" Another humorous and honest look back at her time in Hollywood. This one has a lot of great photos of not only Loos but many of the early stars of the silver screen. Loos also includes a lot of her memorabilia from her time working in Hollywood. I would recommend this book for any classic film fan. </div>

The third book that I'm reading is <i>Dorothy and Lillian Gish </i>by Lillian Gish. Published in 1973. This is another oversized coffee table book and it is page after page of photos, letters and other memorabilia belonging to the Gish sisters. Beautiful photos from Lillian's collection. Although I was looking for info on their lives and careers I'm quite happy with the book. It's a great book to have for any fan of the Gish sisters or early Hollywood. </div>

I know the majority of my readers are dealing with extremely cold weather right now so it's only appropriate that I take a quick detour from my Atlanta trip to break out the stars draped in their furs once again.<br />

France Drake looks like a snow angel. Although gripping your head like a vice just makes me think being flawless is just too painful so I'll stick with mediocre. </div>

I'm sure Lana Turner is off somewhere where it's warm so she can show off her white bikini and matching turban. Anything to escape the arctic temperatures in Beverly Hills.</div>

Bebe Daniels is so proud of her fur that she's decided to ride along the running board to show it off. I'm guessing the suitcase is full of bandages and Neosporin ointment just in case there's a stray pothole.</div>

Carmel Myers adds a bit of fur for fashion. Of course this is Hollywood so she could also be recovering from a little nip-tuck. Things were so much easier back then. Throw a bit of fur around your neck and nobody suspects a thing. </div>

When you're 4 foot tall and you can fit in Johnny Weismuller's pocket do you really need a fur, Lupe Velez? I would show up in a bathing suit and a smile while wrapping myself around that tall drink of water.</div>

Joan Crawford is a pro when it comes to posing. Knowing regardless of how ridiculous you look, it's important to show off every detail of your custom made fur. That statuette was probably a gift from Doug Fairbanks Jr too. Her sly way of rubbing it in.</div>

A couple of weeks ago, I was visiting Atlanta and I was fortunate enough to get to tour a few places related to old Hollywood that I'll be writing about over the next few days. You might be wondering why I'm featuring a hotel but being a fan of old architecture and anything to do with Old Hollywood I couldn't wait to share my experiences while staying there and a lot of photos to boot.<br />
<br />
Its History: How It Came To Be<br />
<br />
The Georgian Terrace Hotel, which takes up the corner of Peachtree Street and Ponce de Leon Avenue in downtown Atlanta, was originally the site of Mayor Livingston Mim's residence. Built in 1879, the large residence would be the social hub of Atlanta activity until Mim's death in 1906.<br />

A bust of what is supposed to be Mayor, Mims that sits proudly inside a side entrance foyer of the hotel.</div>
<br />
After Mim's death, entrepreneur, Joseph E. Gatins Sr acquired the property and hired New York architect, William Stoddart to design a grand hotel which would be built on the now bustling corner in downtown Atlanta. At a cost of $500,000, the glamorous, 10 story, yellow, brick hotel would open its doors on October, 2, 1911.<br />

Looking up from the main entrance with a view of the original balconies. (clearly visible in the early postcards.) Luckily, you can no longer walk out on them. I would imagine it's for safety and I'm not even sure you could in the early days of the hotel. I forgot to ask and trust me I asked a million questions while there and there is very little ground I didn't cover while snooping around the halls, rooms and outer entrances. (Okay, to clarify, I didn't snoop in other guests hotel rooms because that would just be creepy and also illegal!)<br />

In the book, <i>The Georgian Terrace Hotel, </i>(which we were given as a complimentary gift)<i> </i>author, Julie Hairston goes on to describe it this way: Arching one-story Palladian windows, wrap around terraces with columns, elliptical staircases and crystal chandeliers attracted scores of well-heeled and socially prominent patrons in the months that followed, prompting the press to label it Atlanta's "Paris Hotel". According to the <i>Atlanta Journal, </i>as many as 5,000 people visited the hotel on its opening day and were serenaded by a quaint orchestra from Spain as uniformed staff hovered quietly about. </div>

In 1913, hotel owner and music aficionado, Gatins, attracted the renowned, New York tenor, Enrico Caruso to Atlanta for a two week run with other cast members of the Metropolitan Opera. While there he made the hotel his home. He grew so fond of the hotel that he would return on a regular basis throughout his life. He was particularly fond of the vast, ornate balconies where he would sit and draw caricatures of his friends. </div>

Jumping ahead to 1918, a then unknown dancer named Arthur Murray took a job giving dance lessons at The Georgian Terrace Hotel to help pay his tuition at the Georgia School of Technology where he studied commerce.</div>

Arthur Murray, who would go on to build a multi million dollar empire from his dance studios and mail-order dance diagrams. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One night between classes in the hotel ballroom, he ran into former Secretary of State, William Bryan who made the following suggestion "You know, I have an idea on how you can collect your money. Just teach them the left foot and don't teach them the right foot until they pay up!" As the story goes, Murray thought about Bryan's suggestion which led to the development of his dance step diagrams that were later sent out by mail. (Thanks to Bryan, I wonder how many ladies went on to become the best dancer at their annual Christmas parties due to Murray's footstep diagrams?)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
By the time Murray graduated from Georgia Tech and moved back to New York, where he would go on to open dance studios across the United States, he had taught over 1,000 students on the tile floors of The Georgian Terrace Hotel's grand ballroom. </div>

The ambitious, Mitchell gets Rudolph Valentino's ear on a side balcony off of the main dining room at the hotel during the early 20s. (I looked everywhere for this large pot but it has long since been replaced. Sadly, most of the original fixtures, decor were either sold off or destroyed in later years but more on that a bit later.)</div>

While we're on the south side of the hotel lets take a side tour of the exteriors and side entrances. (I found myself walking around outside and through all of the doors, little side halls every time we returned to the hotel in the evening. It really is a beautiful hotel and you're free to walk about pretty much everywhere and the staff is more than eager to answer questions about its history.) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Of course, I found myself imagining how grand it would have been during the early 20s when the movers and shakers of Atlanta were walking through those doors for glamorous parties or maybe to grab a cocktail in one of opulent bars before returning to their rooms at night. (Keeping in mind that Prohibition was in full effect during the 20s until 1933. *wink, wink)</div>

A recent aerial view of the hotel with its large addition and gleaming, glass tower with the Fox Theater across the street. The very unique building to the lower right is the Ponce De Leon apartment building. Designed by the same architect of the hotel and erected in 1913. The first luxury, high rise apartments in Atlanta. With a Tiffany glass dome in its lobby, it is now privately owned condos. (This also gives you a great view of the hotel's rooftop pool. We found it to be a great place to have a late night cocktail and enjoy the breathtaking views of downtown Atlanta.)</div>

Moving ahead a bit to 1939, when the hotel really made a name for itself. Atlanta was all a buzz with the news that the premier of the much anticipated film and life's work of their very own, Margaret Mitchell would take place in downtown at the end of that year. But a month before the Georgian Hotel had a very notable guest. Walt Disney was in Atlanta for a few days while doing research on the Uncle Remus stories which he had just purchased the rights to for $10,000. He would go on to write and re-write until he felt the stories met his standards. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After several delays, SONG OF THE SOUTH would finally make a grand entrance, seven years later in 1946. Walt Disney would return to Atlanta for the film's premier at the Fox Theater. He would again stay at the Georgian Terrace, this time with other studio dignitaries. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Atlanta, a gracious host, pulled out all of the stops for Walt's visit, with a parade, a sold out theater and tons of press and adoring fans in attendance to get a glimpse of the master of animation. </div>

Walt Disney is surrounded by adoring fans during a parade in downtown Atlanta that coincided with the premier of SONG OF THE SOUTH, 1946.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In Judith Hairston's book she notes: Fox filled to its capacity of 5,000 for the film's debut. Disney disliked watching his films with an audience and was nervous about how Song of the South would be received. So, after brief remarks to the sold out crowd, Disney retreated across the street to his room at The Georgian Terrace to await news of the reception. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On a side note: While the film has created much controversy from the time it was released into the 50s when it was re-released by Disney Studios only to be shelved again then re-released during the 70s, I did get the opportunity to see the film at the Drive-In during the late 70s. My parents would take us to see every available Disney and G rated films whenever they could. Practically disowned by the Disney family, the film has never been released to DVD and most likely never will be.</div>

Atlanta, after laying out the red carpet for Walt, was busying itself for the much anticipated premier of Gone With the Wind in December of 1939. This time the premier would be at the Loews Theatre in downtown Atlanta with a parade preceding it and of course a reception that was held at The Georgian Terrace in their main ballroom. Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable, Olivia de Havilland, Evelyn Keyes, David O. Selznick and Margaret Mitchell would all be in attendance for the premier and reception. Clark, his wife, Carole Lombard and the other stars of the film would stay on the 9th floor of the hotel. Lawrence Olivier was also in Atlanta as Vivien's escort to the premier but due to the fact that they were not married, he would stay with friends in Buckhead. (It has been rumored that he stayed in downtown Atlanta with friends where Viv also stayed but he did in fact stay with old friends in Buckhead, just a short drive from downtown. Hattie McDaniel was unable to attend the premier due to a racially segregated Atlanta. A shame and something that troubled Gable so greatly that he threatened to boycott the premier. Eventually, Hattie convinced him to attend. </div>

The formal dining room has large photos from the GWTW premier. Blurred most likely for artistic expression.

Back to the GWTW premier and reception at the hotel. The three day celebration would officially get underway on December 13, 1939 with Governor Eurith Rivers declaring the 15th (the day of the premier) a state holiday. The streets from Loews Theatre all the way to The Georgian Terrace Hotel, were closed and spectators were encouraged to wear period dress as they stood outside, lining the streets in the hopes of greeting the stars of the film as they passed by.</div>

I think I'll stop here since this post has already gotten so long and I'm not even to 1940 yet. There was so many transformations, wonderful things going on at The Georgian Terrace leading up to its current state that I think I'll need to do this post in two parts.<br />
<br />
I hope you've enjoyed Part One and you'll take the time to comment. Have you stayed at the hotel? Is there anything you would like to add from 1911-1939?<br />
<br />
See ya back here when I wrap up with Part Two before moving on to The Fox Theater.<br />

I'm sure you've all been sitting around wondering when my Fabulous In Fur series would return. Especially since most of you have been shoveling snow or stuck indoors watching your favorite classic films due to the cold weather. Or maybe it's been so cold you said, to heck with it and went to pick up some milk in one of the furs you've been storing in the back of your closet for the past 20 years. If that's the case, I hope you made it back unharmed unless someone reported you to PETA in advance.<br />
<br />
I've missed seeing our favorite glamorous dames in fur so lets get started.<br />

Gene Tierney has gone fur crazy. Nothing said 40s glamour like a snow white fur with a matching mini top hat to match. Then things went really awry when the costume department stepped in and said, "This hat isn't quite bizarre or tall enough so lets add a giant flower!" A full on Fur Palooza.<br />

I like Greer Garson's moxy. If you're going to wear fur you might as well make it a huge one. Bulky enough that when you walk through a department store to show it off you knock everything over in your path. She's a fox wrecking ball!<br />

Jean Harlow was a pro at selling sex which this photo proves. I just wonder which actress would be silly enough to follow her here. Surely there isn't any actress who would dare attempt to try sexy after this.</div>

Every fur post needs to have a sexpot like Jayne Mansfield. I do love the lace dress and the fur collar although I'm confused by the chair prop. Obviously the prop department was short on giant fountains or backdrops of topiaries in the shape of dollar signs. Go, Jayne!</div>

Gloria Stuart. So demure and flawless. It would be wrong to snark on her here since she's working so hard to do seductive on a cheap diner chair.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well, this is all of the snark and fur I have for you today. But good news! I just returned from my trip to Atlanta and I have three wonderful posts set up featuring some fabulous things I saw while there. First will be a post on The Georgian Terrace Hotel where many classic celebs stayed then of course The Fabulous Fox Theater and the Margaret Mitchell House Museum. So I do hope you'll come back for those posts. I'm also working to get out to LA to do some star interviews and a few house tours so see ya soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Oh, and which photo did you like the most or is there one that you would love to add some snark to? Please leave a comment and let me and my readers know what's on your mind.</div>

<br />
This is my contribution to the CMBA Blogathon: Film Passion 101. I'll be doing one of my photo reviews of the wonderful comedy, MY MAN GODFREY.<br />
<br />
Like many of my readers and a few of my fellow CMBA members, I developed my passion for classic cinema through my mothers love of them. When I was a little girl on most evenings and on weekends I would find my mother curled up in a quiet room in front of the television, watching classic movies. Seeing her laugh and get so much joy, I started sitting beside her, listening to her go on and on about the stars of a particular film, or a certain genre that she really enjoyed. Her favorite being comedies and of course mysteries. She loved anything with William Powell and Myrna Loy then all things Charlie Chan. Of course I can't leave out my dad because to this day you'll usually find him watching old Westerns when he's not watching football. He loves anything with Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, John Wayne or Walter Brennan.<br />
<br />
I thought about reviewing one of the Thin Man films but my mother would kill me if I said one snarky or rude thing about them, being that they are her absolute favorites. (She's barely gotten over my ripping The Women to shreds a couple of years ago!)<br />
<br />
After I screen grabbed MY MAN GODFREY last night I called my mom to let her know the topic and boy was that a hysterical conversation that I just have to share. My mother is silly and for someone that doesn't mince words about her likes or dislikes when it comes to classic stars she was on a roll and all over the place. She reminded me a lot of Carole's ditzy character in the film. Here is just a sample of her little tangent last night.<br />
<br />
First let me just say that she was not happy about my film choice. I had no idea that she had such a strong dislike for Carole and the film even though she loves William Powell.<br />
<br />
My mother:<br />
<br />
In the early 50s my mother would let me walk to the cinema with my granny. She loved spending the day at the theater and that is where I first got a glimpse at movies since we didn't have a television at home.<br />
<br />
My mother on My Man Godfrey which quickly went off the rails to other things on her mind.<br />
<br />
It was too crazy... They are all looney...I think Powell bored himself with that movie.... It was too busy. Something you see once but you don't want to watch again. I love William Powell but I want to punch him for being in a film with that flake Carole Lombard for being a flake. I think I hate Carole Lombard. Do you have a Chester Morris film to give me a break from Carole? She did not make any sense. I dont like that she made me crazy! Loretta Young had a funny little face but she was pretty! Do I have to talk about Joan Crawford now, that witch? Bette Davis was in some well written movies...She was in great movies with George Brent. Your father hates Bette Davis but I can stand her....I adore George Brent and Chester Morris. Why aren't you writing about them? I thought you were writing about what I like. If you insist on writing about My Man Godfrey at least mention that I love William Powell very much! If you love me as much as you say you do, you can write about Charlie Chan sometime. That would make me very happy...You should have called me before you picked your movie. Did you not know that I don't care for Carole? Why wouldn't you know that? Why are you laughing when I'm trying to be serious? Do you want to talk to your dad now so he can tell you how much he hates Bette Davis and Joan Crawford?<br />
<br />
(I was laughing so hard at one point that I'm sure I missed a lot of what she said. My mother cracks me up and I love her dearly. I'm also very grateful that she shared her passion for classic movies with me. ) Now, on to the review!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
This homeless chap is certain that prosperity is just around one of those corners but he needs a map to it. If it's lost under all of those piles of trash the prospects of finding it aren't looking good. Another thing that isn't looking so good is Powell's unshaven face but he's homeless or acting homeless. I'm hoping things will become clear as long as Carole stays out of the way.</div>

I thought these people were told they needed to find a Bela Lugosi look alike but that gent is just mother Bullock's protege, Carlo. He looks like an idiot and I hope that goat sheds everywhere then chews her sleeves off. That's what she gets for having the nerve to sew a fur muff into her sleeve.

She doesn't recognize Godfrey either. I'm so jealous of these rich people's bed clothes. Not the actual bed coats because they're ridiculous.

The maid is amazed that Godfrey has lasted an hour. So far it's been easy. Wait until they stand upright and start moving around. Of course I don't know who's going to show Irene how to use the stairs, a hair brush and a fainting couch.</div>

Irene: I love Godfrey and this coat with these buttons. I will sit here stroking the sleeve then eat more roses before I dance in this coat once you get the buttons sewn back on.

Cornelia is certain, Godfrey is behind the theft as they set out to search his room where he's trying to sleep one off. Of course Cornelia hid her pearls under his mattress then shape shifted into an iguana that ate the skinned goat that never got let out of the pantry. Well, that last part didn't really happen but it would have been exciting. Especially if the real Bela Lugosi had shown up to cheer her on then drug her off into the night.</div>

Irene: I love our little home and the beautiful flowers you bought for me although I've already had dinner. The only complaint I have though is the giant fire and trash has disappeared. You saw how I glowed and looked so pretty that first night at the dump. Wait, the cab took me to the dump but yet I'm here in your living room. Is this a game? I do love games. Goats, boats, no there are boats in the harbor that brought me to the dump. Can I sit down?</div>

Thanks so much for joining me for my snarky photo review of this wonderful film. I really do love the movie and of course, Carole Lombard. Although I do agree a bit with my mother when she says that it's just too much. I also forgot to mention that as a kid my favorite films were with Cary Grant and every once in awhile my mother would watch some of the older films and silents which made me realize that I loved Ramon Novarro and I was mesmerized by his presence on screen. He was perfect in every way to me. Also, I adore Giant and it's one of maybe two films that I watch every year when it re-airs on TCM. Elizabeth was never more beautiful than she was in that picture. I love everything about the film. </div>

Lastly, before I go I want to thank all of you for being so patient with me during my absence from blogging these past few weeks. I'll be in Atlanta next week and I've got a few surprises in store when I return so stay tuned.</div>

Hello everyone!<br />
I'm so sorry for the delay in getting Part Two up. But this is pretty good timing since I'll be covering the rest of the shows that I watched over the summer while most of my favorite shows were on hiatus.<br />
<br />
When getting my screen grabs together I realized that like last time, most of these take place long ago. Perhaps it's that I enjoy the costumes, architecture, set designs and of course there is the fact that the writing is pretty damn good as well.<br />
<br />
The first show that I watched over the summer is Call The Midwife. Another fantastic show brought to us by PBS. It's now in its second season but unfortunately I don't think it airs here in the states. Although, it might be available via Netflix if you're interested in watching it. Filming will begin soon for its 3rd season, airing in early 2014.<br />
<br />
The show focuses on a group of midwives in London during the 1950s. From the nuns at the church where the midwives live to the girls themselves, they all have such hilarious moments and of course there are so many touching moments when the girls go out and care for the expectant mothers across London and its poorer outskirts. <br />
<br />
Where Magic City (below) shows us the glamorous side of the 50s with posh hotels, mansions and the 24 hour parties, this one delves into how so many families struggled right after the war and all of the hardships they endured day to day during the 50s, abroad.<br />
<br />
Working as an RN for so many years and during the three years that I worked NICU, I attended and assisted with a lot of high risk deliveries but I must say these girls are incredible with their nerves of steel and their ability to deliver babies under the worst circumstances imaginable. Just one of many reasons to love this show. The entire cast is likable and you root for them and everyone they come across as they go about their jobs.<br />
<br />

The girls make their way out to care for the expectant mothers via old bicycle and they navigate their way on broken down, cobblestone streets. That's dedication! Jessica Raine shown here plays, Jenny Lee.</div>

Matthew McFayden plays Det. Insp. Edmund Reid. If he looks familiar to you, he played Tom Quinn in the hit BBC series MI-5 from 2002-2011. A great actor who fits the role of detective on the hunt for the Ripper perfectly.</div>

Adam Rothenberg plays Captain Homer Jackson. Really interesting character. They've cast this one perfectly. Everyone in the lead roles are quite likable and you're drawn in immediately. (Of course we all know that Jack the Ripper was never caught though so there is that one negative on how the show will eventually end unless they wrap it up with their own identity.)</div>

Plenty of seedy and twisted characters in this series. I won't spoil anything but overall it's a must see, really enjoyable show if you like this type of drama. There is nudity and of course violence just to give you a warning. Of course that is to be expected with a show based on the crimes of Jack the Ripper.</div>

Another show that just wrapped up its second season and this one airs via STARZ, is Magic City. I really love this one. Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Danny Huston are stand outs in the series which takes place during the 1950s in Miami, Florida. It's centered around the hotel that Anderson's character, Ike Evans owns and runs while trying to get out from under the grip of Huston's character, The Butcher. A very nasty and cruel mobster. Lots of action, violence and depravity in this one. It's not for the weak at heart if you try to stay away from violence on TV. I would compare it to Boardwalk Empire in that respect. </div>

Kelly Lynch plays Evan's ex sister-in-law, Meg Bannock. A wealthy and connected, Miami socialite. If you enjoy Mad Men, you certainly get that feel with this show with the scenery, props and amazing costumes. I was pretty impressed that STARZ has really stepped up its game with this one.</div>

I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that summer went by way too fast once again. But here we are hanging up our bathing suits and trading them in for pants and something that shows off that we did get a bit of a tan this summer. (Well, okay, I won't be for another few weeks since it's still in the 90s here.)<br />
<br />
This is my last bathing suit post for the year but fret not. Shirley will be back in no time to rip apart our beloved stars as they model their favorite furs and fabulous hats.<br />
<br />
If you're ready, let's have one final look at the stars in their swimwear as we count the days until we're no longer able to sport the same looks without our neighbors giving us the side eye.<br />

Well, so long summer! I hope you enjoyed seeing the stars soaking up the sun one last time this year but at least Shirley will be back with some hideous and insane fall and winter fashion. Also, I'm working on a new fashion series which I'm keeping under wraps for now and of course, Hollywood at Home will be making it's return finally. (I think you'll be pleased at who's Hollywood homes will be featured.)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
See ya soon and please comment on any of the fashions or faux pas you've seen here.</div>

Hello everyone!<br />
I tried to get Shirley to co-host this one with me but she mumbled something about not having time for sports or leisure then she wandered off to try to stir up some trouble with Dicky Moore. <br />
<br />
I guess I'll have to snark this one up all alone as I take a look at some of our favorite classic stars enjoying outdoor activities, leisure time.<br />

If I could get away with wearing this on the golf course I would certainly do it. Jean Harlow is perfection as always. On a serious note; Can you imagine being behind Jean on the golf course? It's girls like her that would ruin your handicap, make you lose a dozen golf balls then have nightmares for a week over not running up to her at the risk of going to jail. </div>

Summer Edition: Part One<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
It's been awhile since we've had a fun discussion on what everyone has been watching so I thought I would start it off with some of the shows I've gotten into lately. Not surprisingly, most of the series I've really enjoyed recently are brought to you by the BBC.<br />
<br />
With most of my favorite shows on hiatus here in the states, like Boardwalk Empire, The Newsroom, Veep, Criminal Minds, Downton Abbey and Magic City, I veered towards some BBC original series and boy was I pleasantly surprised at what I found.<br />
<br />
First, I was turned on to Sherlock by a couple of friends in the UK and once I found the first two seasons I fell in love with Benedict Cumberbatch and now I'm counting the days until the now very popular actor, wraps up Season 3 of the hit show. (The latest is it will air in 2014) With only 3 episodes per season, which are over an hour long, each one is perfection from the acting, the scripts to the cinematography which manages to make you forget that this take on one of our most beloved literary characters takes place in modern day Europe. It offers everything that I had hoped the American version, Elementary fails to deliver. (Sorry to any Elementary fans out there!)<br />

While I'm on the Benedict love train, I also caught the mini series, <i><b>Parade's End</b></i> which originally aired on the BBC in 2012 and starred the talented actor. If you're a fan of Ford Madox Ford's books then you won't be disappointed in this adaptation of my favorite from his stellar repartee. Visually they've outdone themselves and the casting was brilliant. As you weave your way through the five episodes in the series you cheer for Christopher Tietjens while knowing his journey is often heartbreaking and surreal.</div>
