Oh, I love Vera Ellen!! She always seemed so genuinely nice in her films! And she was an excellent dancer, which more than made up for any problems she had with singing. You can't be good at everything, but she was certainly good at a lot more things than most people, myself definitely included! :)

Gosh, thank you so much!! I'll have to order that as a special treat for myself! :-)

I've finally found a decent picture of me without my braces - yay! Any ideas?

I did a quick search of keywords on the IMDb and came up with these: Fast Life (1932) Blue Montana Skies (1939) This Time for Keeps (1942) Rebecca (1940) Love Me Tonight (1932) Dead of Night (1945) There's also this one from 1929 (so unfortunately not 30s or 40s). One Hysterical...

How awful to want to demolish it!!! That house could be amazing if it were properly restored!

How about Stanley Baker? (Sorry I couldn't find a better picture!)

Thank you so much for the fantastic link!!! :)

So, so sad to hear of his passing. A great man.

I absolutely love the Wiesmann Roadster:

I have been reading this thread "ooh-ing" and "aah-ing" at all the utterly fabulous cars! My personal favourite cars from the golden era would have to be: 1924 Hispano-Suiza Tulipwood Torpedo 1935 Duesenberg Convertible Phaeton 1939 Delahaye Type 165 M

The weirdest fortune I've ever had was "The answer you are looking for is in Haiti."
