Good stuff Robert, really good stuff.
Thanks so much.
RJ Wagner has an interesting story about Miss Stanwyck in one of his memoirs, both of which I have read.
Marilyn Monroe’s psychiatrist’s son was a classmate in medical school. Apparently she called him many times threatening suicide. She called him the night she died and he did not do anything. Crying wolf is dangerous.
I enjoy Friday Photos!
It really takes a special eye to see the “ordinary” – photograph it and it transforms into the surrealistic – as Ernst Haas and Rebecca Lepkoff did.
I enjoy your pictures of MM, pictures rarely seen by the public.
Barbara Stanwyck was a looker, wasn’t she?
Thank you again, Robert. After a chaotic morning of IT insanity, it is “leveling” to come to Seraphic Secret to read your Friday Photos.
– Lauren Bacall has a special sense of self. One not often found in the lime light of Hollywood!
– Frank Lloyd Wright was a genius. I like his designs, although they all seem similar to me.
– I was not familiar with Paul Jenkins. I like it a lot, but like Wright, they seem similar.
– I am continually amazed that Barbara Stanwyck was not always the white-haired, tough matriarch from The Big Valley… hubba-hubba 🙂
– I always enjoy your Silent Picture selection as well. Perhaps you missed an opportunity behind the camera!
Always enjoy the photos of your grandchildren. Have a wonderful Sabbath!
