I have discovered the limit of heat my body can withstand; 111 degrees while floating on a raft for 3 hours in our pool. And the main symptoms of heat exhaustion are nausea, dizziness and fatigue. Just grand. Meanwhile, I broke off a crown/tooth at gum level! Ah, life can be just so wonderful. Anyway, for now, how about a nifty color photo for a change until I can regain control of my body.
Gene Raymond, born August 13, 1908. I rather enjoyed his performance as Jeff, best friend and law partner of David (our Bob) in Mr. and Mrs. Smith (1941). Loved the southern accent, befitting his role as the ultimate southern gentleman. The scene on the Ferris wheel is just great. And he was one handsome dude, beautiful blond and wavy hair. He fit the role as Mr. Montgomery's competition for Carole Lombard quite well.
Three other Birthday Boy and Girls from this week that need to be mentioned: Norma Shearer was born August 10, 1902 and Lloyd Nolan (the copper in The Lady in the Lake) was born on August 11th, 1902. Only one day separating the two. And Ann Blyth is still among us, born August 16, 1927, making Ann 98 years of age! Way to go, young lady. You'll always be "The Killer" to me.
