“I love the bicycle. I always have. I can think of no sincere, decent human being, male or female, young or old, saintly or sinful, who can resist the bicycle.”
-William Saroyan, novelist

Happy #BicycleBirthday, William!

Joan Blondell (1906-1979) was nominated for two Emmys on HERE COME THE BRIDES.

Here she is in 1968, as stunning as ever. 💕

Fondly remembering Lawrence Rory Guy (1926-2016), the imposing, Grammy-winning American actor, author and journalist, born in Kansas #OnThisDay. He adopted the stage name #AngusScrimm as the unforgettable, indestructible (and 6 foot 4) mortician Jebediah Morningside, a.k.a. #TheTallMan in Don Coscarelli's creepy, surreal #Phantasm (1979), reprising the role in four sequels between 1988 and 2016 while stealing scenes in various other genre films.

David Crosby

He worked in the film industry from 1919 to 1976 and directed 18 episodes of the TV shows bearing his name. He was nominated for five Best Director Oscars, winning none. His personal favourite of his own features was the witty, wonderful and characteristically macabre Shadow of a Doubt (1943). We remember the incomparable Alfred Joseph Hitchcock (1899-1980), Master of Suspense (among other things), born in Leytonstone on this day.

His penchant for inventive gore, gallows humour and sexual deviance was particularly well served by #ReAnimator (1985) and #FromBeyond (1986).

Remembering Violet Mary Klotz, a.k.a. #MaeClarke (1910-92), the American film, theatre and television actor, born in Philadelphia #OnThisDay. In Hollywood from 1929, she was unforgettably mistreated by James Cagney in #ThePublicEnemy (1931) and #LadyKiller (1933) and immortalised as Colin Clive's bride in her second collaboration with James Whale, #Frankenstein (1931).

Remembering Robert Burgess Aldrich (1918-93), the uncompromising American film / television director, producer and screenwriter, born in Rhode Island #OnThisDay. His penchant for cruelty, domestic battlegrounds, gallows humour and complex, sometimes grotesque older female characters resulted in unforgettable collaborations with, among others, Ralph Meeker, Beryl Reid, and (pictured) Joseph Cotten, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford.
