American actor Van Johnson (1916-2008) was a red-haired, freckle-faced and invariably friendly-looking song-and-dance star in MGM films. In the mid-1940s he emerged as a box office favourite and was second only to heartthrob Frank Sinatra during the 'Bobby-soxer' era. Playing earnest soldiers and boy-next-doors made him a solid box-office attraction while MGM's major stars were off to war.
Van Johnson was born Charles Van Dell Johnson in Newport, Rhode Island in 1916. His father, Charles E. Johnson was a plumber from Sweden and later a real estate salesman. His mother, Loretta Neumann (or Snyder), was a homemaker and had been a dietitian at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. She was an alcoholic who abandoned him when he was three. Johnson endured a lonely and unhappy childhood. Gary Brumburgh at IMDb: "Happier times were spent drifting into the fantasy world of movies, and he developed an ardent passion for entertaining. Taking singing, dancing and violin lessons during his high school years, he disregarded his father's wish to become a lawyer and instead left home following graduation to try his luck in New York." Van made his Broadway debut in 1936 in 'New Faces of 1936, an annual revue that had also introduced Henry Fonda in 1934. Van would appear in a total of seven Broadway shows, including the original cast production of 'Pal Joey' in 1940-1941 In 1942, Van Johnson got a contract with MGM and went to Hollywood. The tall, red-haired actor took advantage of the fact that all established stars were in military service. Johnson was exempt from army service after being injured in a car accident driving with his close friend Keenan Wynn to a screening of Keeper of the Flame (George Cukor, 1942). He had a metal plate placed in his forehead. One of his first roles was as a replacement for Lew Ayres in the hospital film series Dr Kildare alongside Lionel Barrymore. Johnson's breakthrough came with the war film A Guy Named Joe (Victor Fleming, 1943) alongside Spencer Tracy and Irene Dunne. Within two years, he rose from small supporting roles in which he often played the "nice young man next door" to one of the ten highest-grossing stars in the film industry. He was known for his red socks and his bobbysoxer popularity was such that he was nicknamed "The Voiceless Sinatra". The studio often placed him alongside June Allyson or Esther Williams in big-screen musicals and romantic films. He first received top billing with the musical Two Girls and a Sailor (Richard Thorpe, 1944) with June Allyson and Gloria DeHaven.
After the end of World War II, the big stars such as Clark Gable, James Stewart and Robert Taylor returned to reclaim their post-war stardom. Van willingly relinquished his "golden boy" pedestal, but he remained a high-profile musical star. He was the partner of Judy Garland in the musical In the Good Old Summertime (Robert Z. Leonard, Buster Keaton, 1949) and was also seen in the musical Brigadoon (Vincente Minnelli, 1954) alongside Gene Kelly. He also turned to dramatic films and played such well-known roles as Holley in Battleground (William A. Wellman, 1949), Charles Wills in The Last Time I Saw Paris (Richard Brooks, 1954) starring Elizabeth Taylor, and Lieutenant Steve Maryk in The Caine Mutiny (Edward Dmytryk, 1954) with Humphrey Bogart and José Ferrer. In November 1954, his mother suddenly resurfaced and sued him for nine hundred dollars in monthly support. He fought back, saying she did not help raise him so, although he was willing to give her money, she was not entitled to court-ordered support. It was eventually settled out of court and he agreed to pay her four hundred dollars a month. Johnson played his last leading roles in Hollywood in the 1960s and appeared in several Italian films from the end of the decade. Johnson also made guest appearances in TV series such as Batman (as the minstrel in 2 episodes in 1966), Here's Lucy and The Love Boat and the Miniseries Rich Man, Poor Man (1976), for which he was nominated for an Emmy. He had success in the theatre with the musical 'The Music Man'. In 1985, he made a minor comeback. He starred in the Broadway musical 'La Cage Aux Folles' and had a supporting role in Woody Allen's comedy The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985). His last musical role was as Cap' Andy in 'Show Boat' in 1991. A year later, he played his last cinema role alongside Fred Williamson in the thriller Three Days to a Kill (Fred Williamson, 1992). Johnson was married to Eve Lynn Abbott in 1947, on the day of her divorce from actor Keenan Wynn. The couple produced one daughter, Schuyler V. Johnson (1948) and divorced in 1961. According to Eve in 1999, MGM boss Louis B. Mayer had arranged the marriage to conceal Johnson's homosexuality from the public. He later left her for her male tennis instructor according to her son, Ned Wynn. Van Johnson underwent skin cancer treatment in 1963. He died in 2008 at a senior living facility in Nyack, New York, at 92. He had been one of the last surviving matinee idols of Hollywood's 'golden age'.

Co-op Homemaker store, Dumfries, June 1994- suspect this has long since closed! Not sure if it was in an old Co-op building, I think Dumfries had a bakery etc at 'Hoods Loaning(?)' and I think this is what became of it....?

Meet Marcella. This strong 81-year-old mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother has lived in Joplin her whole life. She has spent 56 years in her home and raised 11 children there, 7 girls and 4 boys. Working as a homemaker in the time before electric appliances, she gained and still maintains a grip of steel that is famous in the family.
The day of the tornado, Marcella sat in her recliner and watched as the storm grew bigger and closer. She had seen many storms come and go and at first didn’t want to move, but was finally persuaded by her son Mark. The pair took shelter on the floor of the bathroom. For three minutes the house shook like a box of rocks while debris flew in through broken windows. Mark recalls the feeling as one of “holy terror.” The final damage included a nearby tree that fell and shifted the house on its foundation. With their large extended family scattered across Joplin and phone services down, it was several hours before Marcella and Mark were able to confirm that everyone was safe.
After the tornado Marcella chose to stay in her home, even though that meant living without power for a month. The family filed for insurance but didn’t feel that they received fair treatment; they also had to contend with fraudulent contractors. The past year has been a hard one. Marcella fell and broke her hip, and this past summer one of her grandsons died unexpectedly. When Mark finally received the call that Rebuild Joplin would help them rebuild, he described a feeling of intense relief that sent chills and goosebumps down his spine.
Today Marcella remains relatively undaunted by all the challenges her family has faced. She insists she is as strong as ever and says that “it is hard to keep a good woman down.” Still, she is looking forward to having her home fixed up again. Not only is it where she intends to live out the rest of her days, it is also where three of her children are currently living and a popular meeting place for the rest of the family.
In today’s world the demands on women are many and their responsibilities are sometimes overwhelming. Career woman, homemaker, nurturer, wife, mother, lover, beauty queen – she may find herself drowning in the sea of society’s expectations to be all things, to all people, at all times. Henry Asencio’s powerfully sensual image titled, Emerging is about rising above this chaos and celebrating a woman’s individuality. Emerging from the layers of responsibility, societal pressures and self-doubt; every woman has the power to find her own naked truth. Poised in a symbolic yoga asana known as the “cobra”, her head and body arch gracefully up into a powerful backward stretch as if hailing the heavens for inner strength. Calm and tranquility pervade as she reunites herself with pure consciousness and, like a snake, sheds the unnecessary layers of her existence in preparation for renewal and growth. Amidst a sea of blue frantic color, she emerges from the chaos. Relaxed and in control, her body is smooth and supple as if raising her head above the water to breathe. Her innate female powers of intuition and wisdom liberate her spirit as she denies outside appearances and expectations. She sets forth her own ideals for a life well lived – on her own terms. Ultimately, it is Henry Asencio’s reverence for the female spirit that emerges beautifully and sensually in this exquisite work of art.
