Happy (Early) Birthday, Mr. Taylor!

What can I say ... eight of Bob's (Montgomery) co-stars were born in August and I do a post for Robert Taylor.  Well ... he was every bit as good-looking as the ladies.  Sorry, ladies, but ... 

Older Robert was handsome ...

Younger Robert was downright gorgeous.

Mr. Taylor was born August 5, 1911, in Filley, Nebraska.  A heavy smoker throughout his life, Robert died of lung cancer before reaching his 58th birthday.  Much, much too young. 

Today, August 4th is Anita Page's birthday.  She had a 98-year-run!  Ann Harding and Irene Purcell share the 7th as their birthday.  Happy Birthday ladies!  I'll try to do something a bit more for the others.
