A note to new followers: I retired this account a couple of years ago. I hope you’ll enjoy my old posts, but there probably won’t be any new ones. There was a noticeable dying down of the classic film/performing arts community on Tumblr for a few years before I stopped posting, and there came a point when I felt I had nothing new to offer anyone here. I have a lot of good memories of Tumblr in its glory days, but I’ve pretty much moved on. As a nod to those good old days, here’s a lovely photo of Fern Andra.
