G'Lord, George. How Tall ARE You?

       George Sanders, Bob and Ingrid Bergman (b. August 29, 1915)

                                Happy Birthday, Ingrid!

Miscellaneous Non-Bob Tidbits

This lady is Elsie Janis.  I made a slight error when purchasing her photo.  I thought I was buying a photo for War Nurse (1930), but the correct movie title is Women in War (1940).  Geesch.  And I wondered why it was so cheap. 

 

Thumbing through a stack of stills I'd purchased in bulk, looking for a great find (i.e. a still from a Montgomery movie!),  I thought the young man at the microphone looked familiar.  

Taking a closer look ... hey, it's Joe DiMaggio.   Since Joe did not make many movies (one) ... it was easy to determine the movie's name, Manhattan Merry-Go-Round (1937).  I had to pat myself on the back with that ID.  My big brother the sports nut did good.

 

A challenge for you ... Johnny Mack Brown is the star of the movie Against the Law (1934).  He's the one wearing a uniform.  Who is the "real" star in the photo?  This guy was in a heck of a lot of movies.  

 

Getting to the Heart of the Matter

It's Too Darn Hot! It's Too, Too Darn Hot!!

My part of the country is having an "excessive heat wave."  I think that means a spell of weather 104 degrees and above.  108 predicted for today.  And we'll be under an air quality alert ... no surprise there!  So I should stay inside.  No argument there.  AND to add to our misery, California has announced we will be having rolling blackouts through Thursday night due to lack of energy sources in the state.  CA, the state with the largest supplies of natural energy is so screwed up that it has to resort to blackouts to prevent its electricity grid from blowing a gasket ...  Geesch.

I have pulled out this photo of Bob before.  It helps cool me off.  I can feel the refreshing cool water in his Beverly Hills swimming pool.  You know, I still haven't quite figured out what he has done to create such a splash of water --- his arms are by his side and the legs, I think, are beneath him --- a back flop of some kind? 

 

Happy Birthday, Ann Blyth!!

Dear Ann,  

Having five children must have prepared you well for a long life.  Hope the day is spent  filled with the love of your family.  You may be Ann to your family, but you will also be remembered as "Killer" by the fans of Robert Montgomery and Once More My Darling (1949).  Have a great day!!
