Hi everyone! I have loved old films since I was a small child and would tap dance around the culdesac of my street in Los Angeles hoping that a director would drive by and discover me. I later became a Theater Arts major. I put my dreams of acting aside when I became a mother and my children became my main focus. As fate would have it my eldest daughter became a child actor and played Keanu Reeves little sister in the film River's Edge. My second husband was an Emmy winning lighting director and screen writer. I have always been on the peripheral of the entertainment industry and it gives me great pleasure to post pictures and information about old Hollywood which I hope you enjoy. Please feel free to not only follow but make any comments that you would like on my website.

  1. The two best performances of the ’50s – from ’50 to ’59 – were Oscar-nominated in 1951. Vivien Leigh won her second best actress for “A Streetcar Named Desire” (the best performance not only of the ’50s but of all time), and Montgomery Clift was nominated for “A Place in the Sun”. Monty, alas, lost the best actor Oscar to Bogie in “The African Queen”.
