Mr. Van Dyke looks even more dapper than Tyrone; an impossible feat, I once presumed!

Meanwhile I'll be in the patio-garden out back watching the moonlight with Ronald Colman. ;)

(Has anyone here listened to Carmen Miranda's early recordings when she was a huge star in Brazil, before she went all Hollywood? Absolutely amazing... what an incredible, beautiful voice.)

Yes, I have, Paula, and couldn't agree with you more - and have you heard the pipes on her sister Aurora?
Not too shabby genes in that family!

One of the sweetest photos, once used it as my avatar:

Presenting Gypsy Rose Lee!

The full photo shows her sitting outside a travel trailer, nighttime, singing her child to sleep. Love it.

The striking Aurora Miranda has a featured role as a fiery Latina sensation on Broadway in Phantom Lady (1944).

So sad; six years later, Guy galloped across the screens of Saturday Matinee America to vanquish The Beast from Hollow Mountain - but Gail would fare far less well in her battle against the Beast from the 90-proof bottles . . . :(
