Bob With Two Of His Elizabeths



I bought some clippings a while back, this was a pleasant surprise.  Looks like it is from one of those "Where are they now?" articles.  Wish the article had come with it, darn it.  Anyway, I'll guess  Bob and Elizabeth  ("Buffy") were visiting Elizabeth ("Liz") on the set of Bewitched.  The show ran from 1964 to 1972 making Bob somewhere between 60 and 68.  Looks like he is past the stage of concerning himself about his hairline.  It has got to be a relief for men to reach the age (or is it stage?) where they can comfortably go "au naturale."

It's a trio of great smiles.  Wish I knew more about Buffy, she seems always to be so pleasant.

"Robt." Montgomery?




So, they abbreviate his name to fit the herald?  Really?  Obviously, this movie was made before Robert was declared by MGM to be a "star" in 1931.  Afterall, it is the herald that should be designed to accommodate the star.  (At least they didn't use Bob!)

But the Flesh is Very Weak


               Well, I would not have thrown him out ... no way!

                         My only utterance would have been:
                             "Why are you still in that tux?"

A Photo That Deserves a Better Format


                            Rosalind Russell by George Hurrell

This is a trimmed 9" x 12" original photo of Roz taken in 1942.  Not bad for a then 35-year-old broad in an era when most actresses' careers were over by the time they hit 30.  Hurrell made everyone appear more glamorous, but he needed a good framework from which to build.  It is frustrating that the blog's format limits horizontal pictures to such a small display.  My apologies to Roz and George!
