Eat, drink, and be thankful!
Bacall and Bogie chasing after din din.

Marylin, still wondering how someone convinced her to dress up like a slutty pilgrim and pretend to hunt turkey.

Jump!
Philippe Halsman was one of the great portrait photographers of his time. He worked with LIFE magazine and Salvador Dali, but his best work, in my opinion, was his Jump series. Politicians and artists, rulers and business owners, they all jumped for Halsman. But being a film nerd, the actors and actresses are my favorite.

"When you ask a person to jump, his attention is mostly directed toward the act of jumping and the mask falls so that the real person appears."
-Philippe Halsman
Check out his book, which is full of famous people jumping:

Everyday Alfred
As I do my constant searching for awesome oldie pictures, I have learned one thing. Alfred Hitchcock, as much as he was behind the camera, loved to be in front of it too. What a ham!
So I am starting a new post topic, "Everyday Alfred",
to share the whimsicality that is Hitch.
Alfie, his plant, and an altered suit. Silly guy!

Read This!
I just finished reading Kate Remembered, by A. Scott Berg. Published in 2003, the year of Katharine's death, this book is beautifully written by author as well as decades long friend to Kat. Scott writes not only about her life, but about their time together as friends. As a biography written by someone who knew Kat to the fullest, you learn about her opinions on almost everything (naturally), as well as details about her life including Howard and Spencer that she normally didn't share with the public.
I must say I was sad finishing this, not only because it was such a good read, but because at the end, you get to know her a little bit closer, and understand how much she lived it up.
