Street Scenes

You're just like
Crosstown traffic
It's so hard to get through to you
Crosstown traffic
I don't need to run over you
Crosstown traffic
All you do is slow me down
I'm tryin' to get to the other side of town
- Jimi Hendrix

Wild Wheelgun Women

I stole one of these photos from Diary of A Man Out of Time.

Jane's Fine Lines

Actress Maureen O'Sullivan had some very fine lines.






These pictures are from Tarzan's New York
Adventure (1942), which was Maureen's
last Tarzan movie. She was pleased with
the script, which took Tarzan and Jane
out of the jungle and all the way to New
York, because she was going to get a better,
much larger wardrobe. Me, I didn't mind
the original wardrobe from the pre-Code
Tarzans (see below). You can see a lot more
of Jane in the boxed DVD set.

Raise A Glass. . .

Lets drink to the hard working people
Lets drink to the lowly of birth
Raise your glass to the good and the evil
Lets drink to the salt of the earth

Raise your glass to the hard working people
Lets drink to the uncounted heads
Lets think of the wavering millions
Who need leaders but get gamblers instead

Spare a thought for the stay-at-home voter
His empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows
And a parade of the gray suited grafters
A choice of cancer or polio

Dead at 29

There are simply loads of Carole Landis pictures
at Eric Gans' Carole Landis Project and the
Always Carole Landis site.

As they say, "Suicide is a permanent solution to
a temporary problem."

Yup. Real permanent.

Loose Brunettes

We already did a Loose Blondes post. Now is the
time to unload some of the loose non-blondes who
have been floating around on my hard drive for a
while.
(Some might be grayscaled redheads; I can't tell.)

Hot Sweety (and Sweaty) Lois Nettleton

Okay, no, so anyway, I'm watching a Route 66 second season episode called The Opponent, which is about a washed-up boxer (Darren McGavin), his trainer (Ed Asner with hair), and his girlfriend, right? And I recognize the girlfriend right off, but I can't place her name. So I run back through the credits, and I find "Lois Nettleton," which I don't snap to right away. And I Google her name and come up with a few pictures. So I run it through the IMDb and see that she passed away just last January (which I obviously missed), and that she appeared in a whole bunch of Sixties TV shows like The Twilight Zone, Naked City, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, The Fugitive, Bonanza, Gunsmoke, and The F.B.I. And I'm sorry I somehow missed her passing. Her birthday was August 6th, and I missed that, too. But here she is, and she's certainly not forgotten.
