Twelve years doing this... still fun for me and hope it will be for you, too. The last 3 postings are displayed. After that use arrows to navigate thru all years and months of each year. It's really pretty easy. Dash off a note if something strikes your fancy or rubs up against your ire. New postings 5th, 10th,15th, 20th, 25th & 30th of month.

Shelley Winters
She once described herself as a rocky road out of the Brooklyn ghetto to one New York apartment, two Oscars, three California houses, four hit plays, five Impressionist paintings, six mink coats and 99 films. She forgot to mention four husbands (although not when she made the quote), scads of lovers, including some very young ones, and a big mouth.

Dean Stockwell
He was such a cute kid... big dimples, eyes that lit up, a great shock of thick, brown curls and an endearing smile. He was also a fine actor, recognized as such before he was in a double-digit age. He was very intelligent and spoke with such a confident air, rather adult-like and his scenes with popular adult actors sparkled. To this day when I see one of his kid films coming on television, I am quick to watch it.

Randolph Scott
I was raised on Randolph Scott. He made me want to be a cowboy. I loved his voice, beautifully modulated and reassuring as it was, and I thought he was handsome in an Old West sort of way. He was almost always the hero and he didn't want it to be any other way. He usually got the girl but sometimes he just headed out of town alone.
