Ah, I just checked and AH didn't write all of the Poirot episodes but definitely quite a few.

Check out Anthony Horowitz's body of work if you haven't already. I think you'd also love Foyle's War, the Magpie Murders, Moonflower Murders, etc. I'm working my way through it all now. Such a joy!

Many thanks!! Really hoping for an ID on this one - I feel like it's super obvious, like having a word on the tip of your tongue... but just can't name him.

Itโ€™s a truly heartbreaking missed opportunity. How my great uncleโ€™s visionary contribution was treated was a travesty. Exactly as stated: reviling the very people theyโ€™re supposed to be celebrating.

Exactly! Itโ€™s so wonderful. I wish there were ten more like itโ€ฆ

I wish I could read it! I tried zooming in but can't make out the title :(

Interesting! Iโ€™ve always been curious about what that looked like at MGM and the studios generally.

Yes, I think he has a longer face and an edgier look. But thank you for joining in :)

Another set of fabulous photos featuring my grandmother Mitzi Cummings, niece of Louis B. Mayer, for her popular Photoplay column. I adore her outfits - those hats, dresses and shoes! I've often wondered who the photographer was. As far as I know, he or she was assigned to her via the magazine.

Thanks for asking. Iโ€™m thinking late 40s/early 50s.

Hi Folks, hoping to crowdsource an identification -- anyone know who the man on the right is? The man on the left is my grandfather, MGM and later independent producer, Sol Baer Fielding. He came into the family biz by marrying my grandmother Mitzi Cummings, a niece of Louis B. Mayer. Thanks!

You must listen to @tcmtv.bsky.social's new season of The Plot Thickens! The storytelling is superb & @benmank77.bsky.social's gravelly voice matches the gritty intensity. Of course it's his esteemed brother @joshmankiewicz.bsky.social who's the OG in that dept. But I digress - listen to ep 1 asap.

@xanderberkeley.bsky.social Do you remember this one? Almost 40 years agoโ€ฆ crazy! I ran into it a few years ago when I was scanning in family photos and such.
