ALL GOOD THINGS

Talking about movies, movies, movies. I believe movies are one of the best pleasures in life. Nothing better than watching a classic film and talking with others about them. Love the classics the most but will also talk about the newer stuff too. And covering all genres: comedy, action, horror, sci-fi, drama, musicals, etc. Will also discuss TV shows, more of the classics, but occasionally the newer stuff too. And anything else that might be on my mind. Feel free to drop by and have a chat.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAROLE LOMBARD!

As everyone knows, my favorite actress of all time is Carole Lombard. I gush about her frequently. And today is her birthday. I wrote a post some months ago why I love her so much. If you missed it, here's the link: carole-lombard-is-my-favorite

So today I just wanted to post some photos of my girl and say Happy Birthday Carole. And one quick little thought. When I tell my friends who aren't classic movie lovers, that I am celebrating a star's birthday by watching some of their films or blogging about them, they have no clue as to what I mean. Like Monty why are you doing that..they're dead. And I realize that they don't get it. We lovers of classic movies who blog and talk with each other understand. That we honor the memory of our favorites by doing what we do. It's great that we have their movies and albums and books to watch, listen and read. I love celebrating their birthdays every year. I love taking part in blogathons with my fellow film lovers. It's just awesome that we can do things like that. Non-classic film lovers don't get it. And sometimes I feel bad for them. But anyway back to the point of this post...Happy Birthday Carole! We miss you and love you like crazy.

I'm right there with ya on celebrating our favorite stars' birthdays. We do it at our house too!! And, next month, will be the 30th anniversary of my #1 guy's death, so I'll probably be remembering him on that day as well.

Have a wonderful day,

CharmedLassie said...: I only really became acquainted with Carole last week when I watched To Be Or Not To Be, little knowing it was her last film. I was absolutely entranced by her and finding out that you adore her is just proof of her credentials! I'll be tracking down more of her in the future.; October 7, 2011 at 11:56 AM

Beautiful photos of Carole! She certainly was photogenic but then again she was flawless from her attire to that beautiful face.
