derek jacobi today in soho, the epitome of an actor. note to any young and not so young hopefuls who may have dramatic aspirations, study the bbc production of iclaudius, a work of true genius, which in my opinion was completely unrivalled as tv drama until the appearance of the sopranos.
Burt Lancaster in the 1947 film "Desert Fury". My restoration and colorization of a Hal Wallis Productions publicity photo.
Daniel Mangin has described how Lancaster´s incredibly movie career got started:
"For an actor whose screen debut, the 1946 film noir classic "The Killers," made him an instant star, Burt Lancaster's first few seconds on celluloid are remarkably subdued. He lies motionless in bed, his face in shadow. The brightest light in the shot shines on his T-shirted chest as he learns that two hit men are on their way to rub him out. He's nearly invisible as he passively accepts his fate, his face in shadow until just before he's murdered."
"As Kate Buford points out in her absorbing new biography of the actor, Lancaster, who was born in 1913 and died in 1994, had the makings of a star: broad shoulders, a chiseled face, brilliant blue eyes, defiantly wayward hair and an iconic smile -- much mimicked by impersonators during his heyday -- that he called "The Grin." Though he was a big man, he moved with grace on-screen, thanks to years of touring as a circus acrobat.
David O. Selznick, the legendary producer of "Gone With the Wind," had the chance to put him under contract in the mid-1940s but declined. Following the paradigm of Hollywood's golden age, Selznick looked for personality types he could showcase in a series of similar roles, and he'd already signed one ravishing hunk, Guy Madison (a star remembered these days only by fey folk of a certain vintage). Who needed another?"
"Selznick's rejection was actually a stroke of luck -- one of many -- for Lancaster. He hooked up with Harold Hecht, an agent who accurately gauged the social and economic forces transforming the motion-picture business after World War II. Within a few years, not only had Hecht helped engineer Lancaster's superstardom (Lew Wasserman, the head of MCA, also played a key role), Hecht and Lancaster had become the producers of "Marty," "Trapeze" (Lancaster's homage to his circus days) and other hits. In the 1950s and early 1960s their company was the most successful independent outfit distributing through United Artists."

Had the pleasure of posing with "German" Western Actors who were here for a 1 day performance at Tombstone Arizona - The Town Too Tough Too Die. Hunter was in Cowboy heaven.
Hope you are all having a wonderful week and looking foward to the Holidays. I'm not a "holiday" gal but will most likely have a quiet time at home with Hunter as he heads home January 2nd.
Sipapu is doing really well, his BG has gone down but still spikes about once or twice a week. He still is on insulin but I moderate it depending on his numbers. He is a happy playful and loving kitty.
Thank you for visiting and again, I am not around at all these days, I've lots of catching up to do once Hunter (Chaz) has gone home. Much love and gratitude to all.

This was from a skit about coastal California's history enacted at the Monterrey Bay Aquarium. The boat was in a large, mostly enclosed tide pool that is surrounded by a terrace.

"You think slavery is right and ought to be extended; while we think it is wrong and ought to be restricted. That I suppose is the rub."
[Letter to Alexander Stephens by Abraham Lincoln, Dec 22, 1860]
"Now we are told in advance the Government shall be broken up unless we surrender to those we [Republicans] have beaten, before we take the offices. In this they [Southern secessionist states] are either attempting to play upon us or they are in dead earnest. Either way, if we surrender, it is the end of us and of the [U.S.] Government. They will repeat the experiment upon us ad libitum. A year will not pass till we shall have to take Cuba as a condition upon which they will stay in the Union."
[President-elect Lincoln in January, 1861 about the vast majority of states being taken hostage by a minority of southern states.]
My photography teacher taught me that a lot of pictures become more interesting when a person/actor is present.
That was missing here :-)
