Poor you. You'll have to check 704 posts and
over 3,300 absolutely free starlet pictures.
You could be here all night if you're not
careful. Or you could bookmark the page
and maybe read a hundred posts a day
for the next week. Anyway, you've got
your work cut out for you.
Welcome!

Stuck For An Answer

Ava Gardner once said of Clark Gable that if you
said, "Hiya, Clark, how are you?" he'd be stuck
for an answer. This photograph reminded me of that
quote. There's a good, if somewhat sad, biography
of her by Lee Server. It's called Ava Gardner:
Love Is Nothing. I read it a couple years ago.
It's kind of grim, especially near the end. There's
a review of it at the Seattle Weekly.

Käthe von Nagy

We've shown Käthe von Nagy in posts about smoking
and pearls. But it's time she had her own post. There
are numerous postcards featuring Käthe at the
Virtual History site.

A Little More Lois Nettleton

Sept 29, 1964 - The Fugitive - Episode: "Man on a String"
I love it when Richard Kimble, the fugitive, stops to help
a lady with car trouble. And she's turns out to be a waitress
at a local diner. And she finds herself in a jam. And he helps
her out. And she pours him a cup of coffee. And they smoke
cigarettes together.

(And I love it when the fugitive character doesn't have
to slaughter the waitress in a psycho-sexual serial killer
pattern which requires low, mysterious bluish lighting
and constant Steadicam movement and rapid cutting to
gloss over the many shortcomings of the storytelling.
And the CSI people aren't dashing all over the place,
intently pondering every dust particle and making
grand announcements about their startling conclusions
and laboratory results, which camouflage the fact that
the screenwriters haven't had a decent script idea in
twenty freaking years.)

I'm just saying. . . . . . .
