The 2020 U.S. presidential election is rapidly coming into view – and so is the electorate that will determine its outcome.

While demographic changes unfold slowly, it’s already clear that the 2020 electorate will be unique in several ways. Nonwhites will account for a third of eligible voters – their largest share ever – driven by long-term increases among certain groups, especially Hispanics. At the same time, one-in-ten eligible voters will be members of Generation Z,  the Americans who will be between the ages 18 and 23 next year. That will occur as Millennials and all other older generations account for a smaller share of eligible voters than they did in 2016.

What might these demographic shifts mean politically? In 2016, nonwhite voters were more likely to back Democrat Hillary Clinton, while white voters were more likely to back Republican Donald Trump. Younger generations, meanwhile, differ notably from older generations in their views on key social and political issues. It remains unclear how these patterns might factor into the 2020 election and, as always, a great deal will depend on who turns out to vote.

“During the shooting of My Man Godfrey, fellow workers were much more conscious of the fact that leading man William Powell was once the husband of leading lady Carole Lombard than the two principals themselves. For example, one of the studio boys knocked on Miss Lombard’s door and said, ‘Miss Powell, you’re wanted.’ ‘Tell Mr. Lombard I’ll soon be there,’ replied the slightly nettled Carole.” – Sheilah Graham

I Love You Again (1940)

I've always have loved Myrna Loy, from "The Thin Man" (& the other movies she did with William Powell), to "Mr Blandings Builds his Dream House", and many others, but especially for "The Best Years of Our Lives".

“Age can’t take your individuality away from you, and that’s what counts. There isn’t enough time in the world left for me to do all the things I want to—Shakespeare, for instance. But no one’s going to say the girl didn’t try.” – Ginger Rogers, in a 1980 interview for People Magazine
