Catching up

Scrolling down through one of my favorite sites, catching up on what they’ve been up to. Seriously, I do not know where they find these images but they are so unbelievable. Just go over there and scroll down.

Here are some of my favorites.

Janis Joplin and Robert Crumb

Perry Smith and Truman Capote – my jaw literally dropped when I saw that photo. Unbelievably, with my Capote obsession, I’ve never seen that particular photograph before.

Roger Maris, Doris Day, Mickey Mantle, Cary Grant, and Yogi Berra. WHAT??? Grant was a HUGE baseball fan. As a Brit, he completely adopted the national pastime of his adopted country. He was obsessed. But anyway – look at that photo. Look at Cary Grant’s entire demeanor. Look at his shoes. And then look at all of their shoes. Hahahahaha

Tennessee Williams and Andy Warhol

Great photo of Willie Mays

Marlene Dietrich, Bob Hope, and Bette Davis checking out the Hollywood Hall of Honor

An amazing still from Zulu – it actually looks like a painting, or a wall mural.

    I’m going to be puzzling over the identity of the guy on the far left – in uniform, wearing sneakers of all things. It’s not Whitey Ford, not Billy Martin, not Rizzuto. Gotta be about 1960, right?

    I can’t figure it out just by looking up the team roster. Whoa – neat! No Yankee pitcher had 100 strikeouts in 1960.

    Touch of Mink came out in 1962 – so I imagine it was filmed in 1961 or 60.

    Doris got ’em all thrown out of the game.

    I just want to know how you can play baseball in spit-shine leather dress shoes. I know pro athletes are impressive at what they do..but come on!!!

    You always have the best links. And how adorable is Bob Hope in that photo? I think people forget he was not only so funny, he was also an attractive man in his youth.

    Cary Grant and Yogi Berra together – the comedic possibilities boggle the mind…
