Anna May Wong being elegant in a trio of cheesecake pics— She Blogged By Night
The top movies of the 1920s-- David Bordwell
Hooray for the Hollywood news from May 1, 1932! I love this blog-- Hollywood Heyday
There’s a campaign to get a Charlton Heston stamp. Movie stardom aside, I think he is aesthetically well-suited to stampdom— IMDB
James Franco to write and direct a Sal Mineo biopic. Has this man found extra hours in the day or what?— IMDB
For what it's worth, the Thompson/Bordwell list is just about the year 1920, not the whole decade.
ReplyDeleteAlso, those Anna May Wong photos are fantastic. She definitely needs more love from cinephiles. (Hurray for non-white classic Hollywood starlets!)
James Franco is everywhere. I read on a forum that he's to co-host the Academy Awards next year. And I'm sure he winked at me from that magazine cover at the grocery store.
ReplyDeleteFranco probably did a lot of his Sal Mineo research about 10 years ago when preparing to play James Dean in a multi-part biopic for TNT.
He should sell tickets to whatever place the extra time exists.
Oh doh' PGG--I did know that. I guess I'm just so used to writing the 1920s, the 1930s, etc. all the time! I always say that Anna May Wong was the birth of modern cool.
ReplyDeleteJBR--Franco inspires me. I may not be able to do as much as he does, but he makes me want to try harder. I love the way he is grabbing as much as he can out of life.
