(…) Garbo was always bitter when talking about her life. We could see that she was unhappy. She would often say that she would give anything to be able to live her life again and be independent. “Promise me, Laila,” Garbo said, “That you will never let money or fame or other people control your life. Get married and have a home and family — or else you’ll just end up unhappy like me.”

That photo my Mark Shaw is breathtaking. No iPhone multiple exposures, no motor drive, just one exposure planned and executed to put on film what the photographer conceived in his mind’s eye. Brilliant.

That Alfa is beautiful. Can’r see that woman at Penn Station with a bulldog. Rick – nice picture – it could be from the 30s or yesterday.
Interesting article on Loretta Young’s daughter

How many times did Loretta Young play a nun? I noticed you had Celeste Holm last week. She and Young played the nuns in a movie I remember very well called “Come to the Stable.”

Myrna Loy, another beautiful Cartier watch, an Alfa Romeo (although I’d still rather have a green Morgan with tan leather seats), BB (ooo la la), “It’s a Wonderful Life“, and, of course, Pinchas Tzvi behind the wheel.
It’s been a difficult week and I so look forward to your Friday Photos edition, Robert. Thank you and have a blessed Sabbath.
