This was supposed to post 2 days ago! In remembrance of Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.'s passing on May 7, 2000, here is an in memoriam program from my personal collection. The world lost a wonderful person when Doug passed. I hope to always share his legacy and my love for him.

Happy Birthday to the tall, handsome American icon, and one of my personal favorites, Gary Cooper! From romantic comedies to dramas to westerns, the Coop maintains his boyish charm and everyman persona through it all. He is truly magnificent #BOTD

F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" turns 100 years old today! This book changed my life when I read it as a teen. Fast forward to now and I have entire bookshelves dedicated to Fitzgerald. His use of vivid imagery and descriptions provide the perfect escape to another time.

Can't let the day pass without wishing a happy heavenly birthday to one of my favorites, Mary Pickford! 🩷

Last night I watched AU BONHEUR DES DAMES (1930), a French silent film about a giant department store crushing small businesses in the name of "progress." Visually stunning and stylistic film! I thought it was very good, but the ending strays from Zola's original ending and is a bit disappointing.

As a child, James Dean was one of my first old Hollywood obsessions. One of the first times I stayed up nearly all night in elementary school was to watch REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE (1955) on TCM. I thought he was the greatest, and I still believe he had so much more to offer #BOTD
