Social media is rife with trash but every now and then you get David Janssen's pancakes.

Ida Lupino, who'd directed several films by then, shares an insight with the legendary Fritz Lang and Dana Andrews between scenes of While the City Sleeps.

Wishing all my Skylights a happy, healthy new year! Thank you for welcoming me and my classic movies into your hearts and timelines.

Van Heflin and Alan Ladd between scenes of SHANE. PS: While I can certainly see why a woman, even a true-blue one like Marian, would develop a little yen for Shane, I've always found Van Heflin sexy AF. (And of course so did Marian though she'd clean up the language.)

So yeah we've reached the "I have no idea what day it is/cookies and milk for breakfast" part of the year.

Edmond O'Brien and Robert Ryan between scenes of The Wild Bunch.

Beautiful candid of Judy

Happy First Date Anniversary to hubs and me!

Norma Shearer making spirits bright.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Gene Tierney! And if the gift she wants is for you to go away to boarding school, really just fecking do it.

I didn't have this Supreme Court basically telling Kim Davis to f*ck off on my Bingo card today but I'll take it. Now Miss "Sanctity of Marriage" can go cry on the shoulder of whatever number husband she's up to.

To all the millionaires and billionaires "fleeing" New York City: I'll help you pack!

Oh goody my dates are here. (William Powell, Gary Cooper and Clark Gable on the MGM lot, killin' it while just sitting around.)

The Lioness in Autumn. #IngridBergman

"It's got a backbeat you can't blues it... any ol' time you use it!" Unless you're doing #SpellingBee. Then you can't use BACKBEAT at all.

Me when it's June Allyson day on TCM.

Detroit-born hubs and me at tonight's Yankees-Tigers game.

Trump is darkening Yankee Stadium on 9/11. I wonder if he'll make a speech? Maybe recall how he bragged about having the tallest NY building after the Towers fell (he didn't), or how he grifted hundreds of thousands from a 9/11 aid fund, or how he lied about losing 100s of friends (he lost no one).

Excuse me #SpellingBee but COCKBLOCK(S) and BOLLOCK(S) are perfectly lovely words.

Five-day workweeks, paid sick leave, holidays and vacation, workplace safety regulations, child-labor bans, worker's comp, etc.? Thank a...

Always. Listen. To. The. Cat. Lady.

Fay Wray and Amelia Earhart at the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

Rarely did George Brent get to play as bold a character as he was in real life; years before coming to Hollywood he proudly fought in the war for Irish independence.

Gorgeous portrait of Clark Gable by Laszlo Willinger for IDIOT'S DELIGHT, 1939.

Marlene Dietrich thwacking a papparazzo with her pocketbook, 1975.

Spoiler alert!

What becomes a legend most? Faux fur! Doris Day, Amanda Blake, Jayne Meadows, Angie Dickinson and Mary Tyler Moore strutting their cruelty-free style in an ad for the Fund for Animals, 1974.

Happy Birthday Robert Redford! Here with his kitty.

The great Shirley Chisholm once said, "If they don't offer you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair." Lots of European leaders are bringing folding chairs to the White House today to support Zelensky in his meeting with Putin's puppet.

Happy Heavenly Birthday to one of my TV husbands and the best Columbo villain ever, Robert Culp, here killing it (so to speak) in a canary yellow jacket. God I love this man.

If you're looking for me I'll be here. (Ava and Deborah between scenes of Night of the Iguana)

Apparently his <checks notes> sixth lavish trip on the taxpayer dime is not going well.

Find a friend who looks at you the way these two look at each other. #NorthByNorthwest

Greta Garbo's passport photo, 1940.

Happy Alfred Hitchcock's Birthday! Why not celebrate at a cozy inn or amusement park?

Jane Greer and Rudy Vallee on their wedding day, December 1943. One of my favorite WTF couples, they divorced seven months later.

"Who the hell is buying up all the cans of Campbell's tomat-- oh." Happy Heavenly Birthday Andy Warhol!

Happy Birthday Billy Bob Thornton!

Today in 1954 REAR WINDOW premiered at the Rivoli Theatre in NYC. All proceeds from the evening were donated to the Korean-American Foundation, established after the Korean War.

Heading out tonight to see a gloriously un-Sphere-ified Sunset Boulevard! Just hubs, me, popcorn, and a glorious un-screwed-with print on the big screen.

Bartender kitty, 1899, UK National Archives.

"As this center comes to reflect and advance the greatness of America, consider then those glories were purchased by a valiant leader who never swerved from duty--John Kennedy. And in his name I dedicate this site."

Goodnight, dear Blue Sky friends!

Hitch "enjoying" a go cart at Cannes, 1966.

Doug Jr. and Joan as newlyweds.

Props to the brilliant Faye Dunaway and Peter Finch but I think the most complex, moving and natural performance in Network was William Holden's. I also think Beatrice Straight absolutely earned her Oscar no matter how brief her role; she went through about forty emotions in one scene. #TCMParty

Trying to follow the plot of Chase a Crooked Shadow but I keep getting distracted every time a tanned and gorgeous Herbert Lom shows up. #TCMParty

A thumbs up from Robert Duvall with his pups.

If you're looking for me I'll be here. (Ida Lupino and Ann Sheridan dancing between scenes of They Drive By Night.)

Some folks collect stamps, others coins; I collect weird/inappropriate publicity pix. Here are some of my faves! sistercelluloid.com/2025/07/22/t...
