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.

Quote Of The Day

Spencer Tracy

When discussing why he never wanted Katharine Hepburn to get top billing in the films where they were paired, Joe Mankiewicz asked, "But Spencer, what about women and children first?"

Spencer replied, "It's a movie, not a sinking ship."
