Hardly a commercial traveler. Ranching Heiress/Wife/Mom/LaLa. Classic movies, Noir, and all things Taggart. No politics. Ilka Chase is my Imaginary Grandmother.
Agnes Moorehead in her home office, holding a snow globe from CITIZEN KANE….seems an appropriate way to celebrate her birthday today. What a talented lady she was! 🩷🎂🩷

“I did it for money, and a woman. I didn’t get the money, and I didn’t get the woman.” Was there a better line in noir than this one from DOUBLE INDEMNITY? If so, drop it here in celebration of

Happy heavenly birthday to Ted Baxter’s brother, Shirley Jones’ former husband, David Cassidy’s dad, and the BEST Columbo villain of all time….Jack Cassidy! What a brilliant onscreen presence. Always loved and forever remembered.

Just finished decorating my daughter’s “angel tree.” We lost her at age 2 to leukemia on Dec. 23, and many of the little angel ornaments were gifts from the hospital staff who so lovingly cared for her. She would have been 30 this year.
Now….ya got kids? You go hug those kids.
We lost our little girl at age 2 on December 23. We celebrate Christmas on that date & honor her memory by eating pancakes, her favorite food. If you’re so inclined, I invite you to join in

on 12/23, & to send up a prayer for little ones fighting cancer.🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
When one shops for her own gifts, she is rarely disappointed.😁
(Sadly, Hubby adamantly refused to stumble into the room, mutter “Falcon,” toss it in my lap, and fall on the floor. And that would’ve been SO cool, too, right?)
In this season of gratitude, I want to say thank you to my Old Hollywood Twitter family for being part of my life. Never before have I had friends who so love old movies! Thank you for all the fun conversations. I love you all!❤️
To everybody here who knows who Charlotte Vale is, who knows every Cuddles Sakall line, who wants to look like Kay Francis, or who wants to be BFFs with Glenda Farrell and Joan Blondell…..you’re my tribe. I am beyond grateful for you.
Merry Christmas! 🎄❤️🎄
Repeating this photo of Agnes Moorehead in her home office, holding a snowglobe from CITIZEN KANE....just because the color of that chair makes me happy on a dreary day! 💕💕💕
What’s a holiday movie that you watch faithfully but that others might not know about? One I love is THE HOLLY AND THE IVY (1952), a deeply heartwarming story of a minister’s family. This film resonates on so many levels, and I can’t recommend it enough. Outstanding!
Glam up, Twitter pals….it’s Ann Sheridan’s birthday!
#BOTD
in Denton, Texas. I’m looking forward to seeing lots of love for Ann here today…..let’s get her trending! 🩷🎂🩷
Time for some slumgullion with IT HAPPENED ON FIFTH AVENUE (1947). I can’t recommend this one enough….the entire cast is simply marvelous, including the wonderful Victor Moore.

Hubby’s gone and I’m rewatching for the millionth time THE HOLIDAY (2006). I don’t care if it’s unrealistic or if you hate it….I’ll watch it simply for the moment that Eli Wallach squeezes Kate Winslet’s hand walking into the WGA tribute.❤️❤️❤️
I love this movie.

Always discouraging to find out I’ve been blocked by a fellow TCM fan. I have no idea what I said or did, but my apologies if I’ve offended anyone, my friends. ❤️
Good night, Twitter pals. Stay glamorous.
In loving memory of my pal Spring Bird, who left us today to travel over the Rainbow Bridge. Gone, but forever with us.💔
This is my favorite portrait of her.
