31 Days of Halloween: #7 – Psycho (1960) “We all go a little mad sometimes.”

Don’t let social media make you believe you need to spend a lot of money to be fit, healthy and reach your goals. You don’t need to go to a fancy gym. You don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars on supplements and food. You don’t need to spend a ton of money on workout apparel. If you want to do those things, that’s great but it’s not necessary.

RIP Joseph Levitch (March 26 1926 - August 20 2017 ∞)

There are no words I can say to properly express my gratitude and love I have for this man. He has always been a place of solace for me and he will continue to be. Jer is more than just a comedy legend and icon to me…and he always will be. Life is a little less bright today and I don’t think it’ll ever be the same. I hope he’s up there with his parents, grandmother, and Dean having a real blast.

“Do it for yourself. Paint a wonderful picture of yourself. Look in the mirror and see value. ‘Cause there’s a lot of people out there who aren’t sensitive enough, aren’t caring enough, and that’s negative, but it’s fact. Optimism will get them out of your way. If it sounds like a pipe dream, try me. What have you got to lose? But, everything to gain.” - Jerry Lewis

That’s the girl whose voice you heard and loved. She’s the real star of the picture, Kathy Selden!

Singin’ in the Rain (1952) dir. Gene Kelly & Stanley Donen

[alexdrakes]

For female lead Kathy Selden, such stars as Judy Garland and June Allyson were considered, but Kelly was sold on starlet Reynolds. She was a gymnast who’d been discovered in a beauty pageant and landed a couple of small movie roles. She was also still a teenager, but Kelly was certain she had the athleticism and vocal chops the part required. 

Reynolds, however, wasn’t so sure. She had no dance training, and she found co-director/choreographer/co-star Kelly a tyrannical taskmaster. One day, she was so despondent that she curled up beneath a piano and started to cry – only to be found by Fred Astaire, who gave her some dance coaching. By the time she filmed the “Good Morning” number, she was able to keep up with Kelly and O'Connor, but after the 14-hour shot was done, she had to be carried to her dressing room because her feet were bleeding. 

Years later, she would praise Kelly as the most exciting director she’d ever worked with, while he called her “strong as an ox” and complimented her on her ability to learn complicated routines quickly. Still, she said, “The two hardest things I ever did in my life are childbirth and “Singin’ in the Rain’.” [x]

“Nobody onscreen fascinates me as much as Paulette Goddard. I’m probably her greatest fan , bar none. I see my own pictures six or seven times. I also take in my own pictures to see what I do wrong or what I do right.” Happy birthday Paulette Goddard! (June 3, 1910 - April 23, 1990)
