    Pier Angeli, thanks to StarletShowcase.

    [​IMG]

    Appears to me as though a LIFE photographer used a soft filter to achieve a pretty idyllic mood
    in this shot of actress Pier Angeli.:) Pic thanks to a site called "WikiFeet" -- honest, folks! Would
    I lie about something like that?

    Pier Angeli, shown here, has a twin sister,
    Marisa Pavan. Thanks, StarShowcase!

    Pier Angeli was pretty pettite, but she must
    be wearing spike heels, as James Dean ap-
    pears to be in pain!:( Pic thanks to MissLittle
    Cherry.

    It&#8217;s hard to believe, but from 1908-1911, Fairmount Park hosted the Quaker City Motor Club 200-Mile Race, a short-lived race car event.

    Yeah. And too bad that it was only on closed-circuit TV.:p

    Jean Harlow. Funny how someone who died tragically so long ago could burn her image into the brains of people who see even a still photo of her all these years later, isn't it? One of the most prominent of the so-called "platinum blondes" of the movies' Silver Screen, Jean died of a ruptured appendix in 1937 at just age 26, back in the days before the antibiotics that might well have saved her life. RIP, Jean. Your parents were heartbroken. No parent imagines their child dying before them, then or now. Photo thanks to FlickRiver.

    Third Street Mall - Santa Monica, California

    The right image is of the street being torn up during construction to create the pedestrian-only street.

    Vina Fay Wray. Above, thanks to FanPop.
    Take Mary Pickford's audience appeal, add
    a dash of innocent sexuality, and you've got
    Fay Wray, a young woman in the right place
    at the right time. Fay was already a star of
    the Silent Era -- including hit movies with
    the famous director Erich von Stroheim --
    when the hard-working actress got the call
    from David O. Selznick to play the heroine
    in the movie she would be best remembered
    for, "King Kong" (RKO 1933). Few know now
    that, in her heyday, Wray's proportions and
    contemporarily popular look meant that she
    was in steady demand for fashion modeling,
    in addition to her movie career!

    In her autobiography, Fay Wray said that blonde Jean Harlow was
    the first choice to play Ann Darrow in fledgling RKO's soon-to-be
    blockbuster hit, "King Kong." But when MGM's tight contract pre-
    vented Harlow from being loaned to RKO, Wray donned a blonde
    wig and stepped into movie history! Photo thanks to Wikipedia,
    which is in its annual fundraising campaign. They are FREE and
    receive no government funding. As well, they welcome donations,
    no matter how small.:cool: Hey, if you like Wikipedia, please lend 'em
    a hand, if you can!

    Huh? :confused: Well, yeah ... uh, I guess if you say so! LOL. Hey, let's face it. Our
    love affair with commercial advertising (and, often, almost blind obedience
    to it!:p) IS NOT because it depicts life as it really IS. It's because it shows life
    as we'd LIKE it to be!:eek:

    It's been said that money is the root of all evil, right? Irony is the soul of wit,
    and necessity is the mother of invention.:rolleyes: Well, if all those truisms add up to
    some great cosmic insight, then I'll add one:

    Advertising is the root of most "necessity"! :D They create a sense of necessity
    -- not just casual desire -- for what they're selling. LOL. Come to think of it ...
    how did we possibly survive and thrive before we had advertisers and govern-
    ment to tell us what was best for us???:confused:

    Thought you guys might get a kick out of this,... I found it between the pages of an old book, Circa 1959 A boy and the bestest pal a young man could have,.... "Hobo, the wonder Dog"... That young man was crazy about all things related to Hot Rods,.... Hobo passed away while that boy was overseas years later,.... That young man became an old Hot Rod guy, and hangs out on a Traditional Hot Rod sight........ Hobo was the very best Dog ever ! (so I'm told ;))

  26. Wasn't this street used in the movie Mad Mad Mad World ? Right at the end of the movie when Spencer Tracy makes the bust. I admit it's been a long time since I've watched that movie. There were some neat automotive scenes, including the one with Phil Silvers sliding his Ford convert. down a river. And Jonathon Winters destroying the gas station- garage.
