LUPITA TOVER is 101 today (mother of Susan Kohner)

And grandmother of Paul and Chris Weitz, co-directors of American Pie and About a Boy and together and separately, very active in the movie business as producers, directors and writers.

I just read a biography of Vivian Vance, she certainly lived an interesting life. She was/is the greatest 'sidekick' ever!

Indeed she was, Birdy.

So that's how she got that "natural look."

Carole Lombard was always so stunning & graceful.

Gloria does not look that way here.

I thought that too.
