Happy Birthday Raquelle!!

I hope you have a swell birthday!!!

14 years ago today....

14 years ago today, my favorite actor Jeffrey Lynn died. He was 86 years old and left behind his third wife, Helen, his two children from his marriage to Robin Chandler- Letitia and Jeffrey Jr, his seven stepchildren from his second marriage, his three sisters and two brothers, and 17 grandchildren. If you would like to read his obituary, you can read it here -> http://www.nytimes.com/1995/12/02/movies/jeffrey-lynn-89-actor-in-leading-man-roles.html

Even though, when he died I was just 6 years old, it's still sad to think that he's been gone for so long. We'll always miss Jeffrey Lynn and his exuberant personality on the screen. In honor of his life, tonight I'm going to watch "Yes, my Darling Daughter"(1939) and have a mini celebration of his life today. REST IN PEACE JEFFREY LYNN!

Poll Results!

I know that the poll had ended for quite some time but I thought I would share with you the winners and the losers of my last poll. The question was "If you could spend a day in Paris, France, who would you want to be your tour guide?" - And here are the results!



Coming in last but tied with 4 votes each are........



Leslie Caron and Louis Jourdan- who drink to their equal votes!



In 2nd place with 5 votes went to.......






Maurice Chevalier- Who is quite satisfied with his 5 votes.





And coming in 1st place with 9 votes is.......

Charles Boyer- Though he doesn't seem to express it, Charles is quite pleased with the victorious win and he'd be more than happy to be your tour guide.



I will be posting up another poll today, so make sure to cast your vote. My next blog post will be up in a few days(I promise!) and it'll be the Ageless series.


Hope you all are having a grand day and chat with you soon! ;)

Happy Birthday Kate!!!

Today is Kate's birthday and in honor of her special day, here are two Happy Birthday pictures for her. I hope Kate, you have an absolutely amazing day! In honor of Kate's birthday, everyone should watch a Dirk Bogarde film! I may watch either "Quartet" or "Penny Princess", I just haven't decided yet. Again Kate, Happy Birthday!!!!!!!

I'm back!

Sorry for the terribly long delay in blogging, I've been so darn busy, lately with starting up a new job. I was meaning to blog about a week ago but that's when I started my new job, so I've been a little off track on here and I'm terribly sorry. I'm going to try to post more on here with my days off from work. So anywho.....


I will get onto my other series again in a few days but I thought I would do some pic spam for you all to enjoy!

Gone Too Soon: Robert Francis

Robert Francis' career was on the rise when he was killed at the very young age of 25. Robert Charles Francis was born on February 26th 1930 in Glendale, California. 25 years later on July 31st 1955 in Los Angeles, California, Robert's life would end.



The year of 1955 was a year of both happiness and sadness for Robert Francis. His career was beginning to rise and he was getting some really good roles opposite acting giants such as Humphrey Bogart, Tyrone Power, and Maureen O' Hara. He also had the chance to star in two films titled "They Rode West"(1954) and "The Bamboo Prison"(1954).


During the afternoon of July 31st of 1955, Robert Francis was found dead in a private plane, that he was piloting. Two other passengers were also on the plane and they too died on the plane. What went wrong was, the power went out in midair, and without much time on Robert's hands, he veered the plane away from a church that had people coming out, instead the plane crashed in a vacant parking lot. He risked his own life by veering away from the church that had people in it. If he hadn't veered away, he could have easily killed the people in the church.



If Robert had lived, his career could have gotten bigger and better but sadly his life was cut short and we were unable to see the true talents of Robert Francis. Unlike many actors during the 1950's, Robert's approach to his characters were often of the quiet and reserved type, unlike James Dean and Marlon Brando, who would play quiet characters, they were often very rebellious in their approach.


Robert made just four films during his career in Hollywood, and they were->
"They Rode West"(1954)
"The Caine Mutiny"(1954)
"The Bamboo Prison"(1954)
"The Long Gray Line"(1955)


Rest in Peace Robert Francis
