A tribute that I made to some (departed) classic actors. I probably forgot some, and I would have liked to have included others (Burt Lancaster, Errol Flynn, Robert Taylor, James Mason, Joesph Cotten) but unfortunately I don't have any of their films on DVD at the moment. So here's my hommage...

A video about the 1994 Hallmark Hall Of Fame presentation of the classic Thomas Hardy novel, "The Return Of The Native". Beautifully shot on location in Exmoor National Park, Catherine Zeta-Jones plays the tragic heroine Eustacia Vye, who longs to escape her rural home of Egdon Heath. She is secretly seeing Damon Wildeve (Clive Owen) who is pledged to marry the fair Thomasin Yeobright (Claire Skinner). Damon longs for Eustacia but when she learns Thomasin's cousin Clym (Ray Stevenson) is ...

A reprise of the video I posted a year ago, this time using clips as well as photos. I also found a few more pics of Rita and Gene together and I felt I just had to make this video. Once again, Sarah mclachlan's "Perfect Girl" is the accompanying tune. I just feel that this song fits the poignant aspects of the lives of these talented and gorgeous ladies. The sadness and tragedy of their existence doesn't outweigh their accomplishments or the moments of joy they must have had, nor does it ...

This lovely blonde actress was spotted by a Warner Brothers talent scout in the early 40s, and like her contemporary Martha Vickers, (they appeared together in supporting roles in "The Man I Love", (1947)), she was a popular wartime pin-up and is best remembered for her supporting role in a Bogart/Bacall film - she played Mme Hellene de Bursac in "To Have And Have Not" (1944). Originally intended to be Bogart's love interest in the film, her role was reduced in favor of Bacall, although ...

Another fantasy sequence from "Gidget Goes To Rome" (1963). Gidget (Cindy Carol) imagines herself as Cleopatra, with Moondoggie (James Darren) as a scantily clad Roman. Who could ask for more? Oh, and since when did Cleopatra wear nylons and sneakers? Have fun with this one! DISCLAIMER: I own nothing. No infringement intended. For entertainment purposes only.

A term coined by fan magazines to describe Lana Turner's glamourous yet somehow ordinary all-American girl appeal (like the moniker she detested, The Sweater Girl), this video is a tribute to Lana and her "lanallure". I used clips starting with her debut until her last successful film in the mid-60s to show her longevity in the film industry and how she continued to be one of those movie stars that both men and women flocked to see. I guess the fact that her wardrobe always reflected the in ...

A tribute to this auburn-haired minxish beauty (1925-1971) who is chiefly remembered for her role as Carmen Sternwood in "The Big Sleep" (1946). A popular 40s pin-up, she could also sing and dance, but her big screen career was virtually put to a stop by her three year marriage to Mickey Rooney which produced a son, Teddy Rooney (she was also briefly wed to producer AC Lyles in 1948). She married musician/actor Manuel Rojas in 1954, and they had two daughters, Tina and Tessa, but the couple ...

A tribute to the hauntingly beautiful actress (1924-1961), who will be forever associated with the song Stella By Starlight, which was attributed to her character in and composed for the film "The Uninivited" (1944). She was very shy and suffered from great insecurities and stage fright, and this perhaps led to her dependency on alcohol, which got her in trouble with the law, interfered with her career and personal life and ultimately would be the cause of her untimely death. One of her most ...

This video is based on the A&E/LWT miniseries of Thomas Hardy's "Tess Of The D'Urbervilles" - specifically, the tragic love between Tess (Justine Waddell) and Angel (Oliver Milburn). I have to say that the onscreen chemistry between these two actors is one of the main reasons why this is my favorite version of Hardy's novel (although I do own and love the 1979 and 2008 adaptations). This was the only time that I've ever been invested in Tess and Angel's relationship - and Oliver Milburn has ...

Just a romantic little video about Rita Hayworth set to the song by Boy Meets Girl. Since I haven't made a Rita video in a while, I thought this song was a good choice. So here we have some scenes from "Blood And Sand" (1941), "You'll Never Get Rich" (1941), "You Were Never Lovelier" (1942), "My Gal Sal" (1942), "Cover Girl" (1944), "Gilda" (1946) and "Down To Earth" (1947). I had fun editing the scenes together, especially the dance sequences. I hope you like it! DISCLAIMER: All clips and ...
