Sometimes I wonder if I’m doing a Jimmy Stewart imitation myself.
Happy birthday James Maitland Stewart (May 20th 1908 - July 2nd 1997)
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY HUMPHREY BOGART & LAUREN BACALL
One night in 1953, Bogie, John Huston and some other friends were shooting the breeze rather tipsily about life and its meaning and the question arose as to whether there was any time of their lives they’d like to live over again. All of them except Bogie came up with cynical answers. Somebody said, “God forbid”. Somebody else: that he’d only like to cancel out a couple of times. Then Bogie spoke. “Yes, there’s a time I’d like to relive- the years that I have had with Betty.”
-Joe Hyams, Bogart & Bacall.
I was a kid in love for the first time. I was easy for me - I knew nothing about pitfalls. I was giving nothing but myself and I could do that without qualm. Never in my life had or has a man cared so much for me, wanted so much to protect me, surrond me with life’s joys, share everything. It made me want to return the care- to show him it was possiblle to be really happy with a woman, to give him children. I was determined to do that.
-Lauren Bacall
Happy 105th Birthday, Jimmy Stewart
(May 20, 1908 - July 2, 1997)“I’ve sort of gotten into the habit of looking for the vulnerable guy, the guy who makes mistakes, the guy who can’t figure things out all the time but keeps at it.”
Happy 116th Birthday, Frank Capra
(May 18, 1897 - September 3, 1991)“Maybe there really wasn’t an America, maybe it was only Frank Capra.”
- John Cassavetes“When I see a crowd, I see a collection of free individuals: each a unique person; each a king or a queen; each a story that would fill a book; each an island of human dignity.”
“Film is a disease. When it infects your bloodstream, it takes over as the number one hormone; it bosses the enzymes; directs the pineal gland; plays Iago to your psyche. As with heroin, the antidote to film is more film. “
And now the story of a wealthy mother who lost everything, and the one town that had no choice but to let her live there… It’s Parks & [Expletive].
