One Foot in 1941

My name is Polly. I love film, especially classics from the Golden Era of Hollywood, all things vintage, books, nature, art and history. I love the life of the 1910's, 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's.and 60's. Especially the 1920's, 30’s & 40's.

“It’s very sad because Errol Flynn never married the only woman he truly loved: Olivia de Havilland. He should have married her and had a longer and happier life.” — Bette Davis

“For years she had had her back against the stone wall of Rhett’s love and had taken it as much for granted as she had taken Melanie’s love, flattering herself that she drew her strength from herself alone.”
