Regarding John Ford. Was there ever anyone more unattractive? Could that even be possible?
Barry,
I haven’t seen ugly like that since my east Texas relatives came to one of our family reunions.
An excellent comment — the stuff of nightmares.
looking at your grandchildren smiling….I had to smile. You see them and have to believe that there is hope for the world.
Would you say that Liz was a high-maintenance woman?
Elizabeth Taylor high maintenance? Whatever gives you that idea?:-)
Well done, Robert. I have always been fascinated by John Ford’s personality. I’ve read that he was a man with definite idiosyncrasies when he directed, but a man with a keen eye for “the picture” that the audience wanted.
I also appreciate the Myrna Loy photo — one I don’t recall seeing before!
