Celestial Clara Bow
(...in keeping with our Outer Space Weekend theme.)
Oh, you didn't know we were having an Outer Space Weekend? I didn't either until just a few minutes ago. Just thought of it myself.

1951 Drive-In
It's Friday.
What say we go to the drive-in?
We'll take my car.
I once worked a concession stand like this one. I made popcorn and snow cones. See the drain in the floor? It's so you can hose the place out in the morning.
I was a projectionist, too, for a very short time. Those projectors didn't have bulbs. They had white-hot carbon arcs. It was so hot that it had to have its own housing and chimney (on the right in the photo).
How about we go see Jan Sterling and whatshisname in Billy Wilder's Ace in the Hole?
Sounds like a fun time.

Elizabeth MacRae Day
I can just about guaran-friggin-tee you that this is the only Elizabeth MacRae blog post on planet Earth today. Pictures of her are awfully hard to find. She has the sweetest little Fayetteville, North Carolina whisper you ever heard.
Tiny pictures of her here.

June in February
Yeah, I realize that a lot of you just can't stand June Allyson, who stole Dick Powell away from Joan Blondell and hawked adult diapers in TV commercials and was pretty annoying in some of her 1940s comedies. Me, I loathe her awful pageboy haircuts from the 1950s and most of her squinty-eyed publicity pictures and the way she ran around like a rabid chipmunk in a lot of her films. But I like this photograph just fine. So...deal with it, okay?
More here.
