Ann Sheridan takes a phone call behind the scenes of Silver River (1948)

Georgia Is Letting a Railroad Seize Land a Black Family Has Owned For 100 Years Descendants of enslaved people are fighting an attempt to use eminent domain to carve a spur through one of Georgia’s largest Black‑owned farms.

In the 1800s, a slave owner purchased over a dozen people in Georgia and set the foundation for his family’s generational wealth

Generations later, a railroad company owned by one of his descendants is using eminent domain to seize land of Black farmers

And thank you! I think I got lucky considering I picked her stray behind out of a bush.

Olive! After my second great-grandmother, as your typical 16 year old does I guess

She’s my favorite!

"I love The Sin of Nora Moran so much that I shall now attempt to eat it!"

Adorable.

And The Sin of Nora Moran (1933).

She also loves shitty Tarzan films from the 1940s.

My cat loves Footlight Parade (1933).

In all seriousness, here’s a second angle of Miss Doré (with the aigu, thank you very much) as the ‘26 Los Angeles Auto Show spokeswoman.

Never heard of her.

Jean Harlow is undersold as an actress in 2026 because no one wants to watch six Clark Gable films anymore.

My favorite ever Ann Savage moment, which should have automatically nominated her for president.

Can’t let the day end without saluting the glorious Ann Savage #BOTD, seen here holding matching tabby kittens named “Pete” and “RePete” on the set of Klondike Kate (1943).

A review of California (1947) Milland just does not have the raw charisma needed to command a Western of this magnitude, sorry. He’s great at so many things, but not this. Nonetheless, the holy Stanwyck validates his presence and ...

My Letterboxd ‘review’: boxd.it/dbvfgD

Gorgeous documentarian slides aside, Stanwyck’s Lily Bishop in western wear coincidentally reminds me more of myself than perhaps any other character on film. Twinning.

Intro to California (1947) is the best part of the film.

On this date in 2022, I told the story of Kathleen Sully, the working-class self-taught novelist whose books are stunning in their violence, outsiderness, odd comedy, and originality. Sadly, her copyrights are now in the hands of the Church of Scientology.

Feb. 18, 1926: “Teaching old dogs new tricks:” a classic John Held Jr. cover of the humor magazine Life inspired by the Charleston craze.

The caption for this identifies the film being promoted as Danger Woman (1946), but this costume is definitely from Dressed to Kill, so whatever.

Patricia Morison models a ‘stole of cloud white fox’ in a publicity photo for Dressed to Kill (1946), as published in The Californian magazine (November 1946)
