Movie Star Monday

Hi All,
I had a fun day with my tennis girlfriend, playing golf. We do love tooling around the links chatting and golfing, then off to lunch. Here are some Movie Star Monday photos...

I think Liz was so pretty in this movie from the 60's, The Sandpiper with Richard Burton...

Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford in front of their home, Pickfair. Always good to have a moat, lol

Jimmy Stewart and his poochies. So cute...

Jimmy Cagney on his farm. Love!

Hope you all have a great week!

Hi All,
Greta Garbo started it all with me and my love for olden movie stars. She was just so modern looking, so unlike all the other silent stars. She did transition into talkies, but chose to retire in 1942. She moved to NYC in an apartment along the East river, till her death. She was born in 1905 and passed in 1990. She collected art and owned lots of property in California, so she was wealthy when she died She never married and had no children. I am going to post some pics of her, so just sit back and enjoy!

Hope you are all having a great start to the week!

I Love My Flair!!!

Hi All,
I am so excited to share with you my "new" olden Frigidaire Flair! My girlfriend and I drove 3 hrs to get her in the pouring rain. Yes, she is worth it! Here is the before...

The after. I went with a golden yellow for the walls...

Here she is at work. Her first meal was salmon patties, butter beans and rolls in the oven...

The Frigidare Flair is really a workhorse. This one is from 1965, and you can spy one just like it on the old TV show, Bewitched. :)

Movie Star Monday on Tuesday!

I turned on TCM today and there was Barbara Stanwyck starring in "BabyFace." 1933. She was not the most beautiful star out there, but boy could this girl act.... She was born in 1907 and passed in 1990.

She was so spunky in all her roles...

She was married to heartthrob, Robert Taylor at the height of her career, for 12 yrs. They made a very handsome couple and lived on a ranch in the San Fernando valley, very much like Gable and Lombard...

I think I would like a golf game with this group. I could be Mr. Gable's partner! lol

Mr. and Mrs. Taylor...

Here she is on the 1960's when she starred in the tv series, "The Big Valley."

I believe her last tv role was in "Dynasty" in the 80's. My favorite role of hers is "Double Indemnity" from the 40's, with Fred MacMurray. She is wonderful in it!

Hope you are all having a good week!

Golf Time!

Hi All, I started the long weekend off with my good tennis girlfriend. Yes, tennis is our game, but we haven't been able to get on the golf course for two years. Just no time. This year we are determined to take some time for ourselves and have fun on the course!
