The Silver Screen Oasis

Charles Coburn and Dame May Whitty sharing a birthday...why does that seem right?

And Gena Rowlands...the archetype of the post-studio actor. What a life, including a long marriage to a difficult genius. Thank you, Gena, for allowing LOVE STREAMS - the Cassavetes movie - finally to being released for the DVD home-viewing audience to enjoy.

Hi Joe,

Birthday gal Jane Russell gives Badminton a go with pal Robert Mitchum

I agree with Larry, your pics are so good, rare, and ideal for movie lovers...Jane Russell looks great, as AM, (whom I first saw as a kid as Endora in BEWITCHED! ), Maureen Stapleton( who was good friend with JAN STERLING, as Jane Powell, Ann Rutherford,Betty Garrett were..)

Um, Joe, is Mitchum even trying to get the birdie over the net? Or is he practicing some unique form of laidback Tai Chi that he developed under the influence of some bio-chemical substances?
