MARJORIE MAIN (1890 - 1975)

Feb. 2, 1946: Birthday gal Marjorie Main is hoisted by soldiers of the 96th “Deadeye” Division during welcome home celebration in Los Angeles.
A lusty, old-time western welcome greeted 1,800 men of the famed 96th (Deadeye) Division at the Los Angeles Port of Embarkation yesterday. The 1,800 men, among the 3,081 returning veterans arriving in the harbor aboard the transport General Langfitt, got a special greeting from Marjorie Main, western pistol-packing motion-picture actress who was voted the “pinup girl” for the division in a spirited contest.

Miss Main, decked in a 10-gallon hat and with two guns at her hips, greeted the men from aboard the Port of Embarkation greeter ship Snafu Maru and then went aboard the General Langfitt. Later she went to Camp Anza staging area to help serve the division men their first Stateside dinner….

Miss Main was elected “Occupation Girl” of the 96th Division because her two-fisted screen characterizations embodied the same rugged virtues that carried the division through campaigns in Leyte and Okinawa. She was a peach indeed,

Birthday boy Abe Vigoda, Senior Citizen

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

BRENDA JOYCE (1917 - 2009)

A very happy birthday to "Tessio" from my all-time favorite movie -- Abe Vigoda, who, like Burt Mustin, was a senior citizen even when he wasn't a senior citizen --

Or so it seemed.

Diane Baker

A Lovely lady, I met her on the TCM Cruise. I treasure the photo I had taken with her.
