"After working all morning, she wanted to take a lunch break and I went with her. When we were going down the street (she was cycling and I was walking), I saw her little car back there - one of the early Thunderbirds, which was very popular - and her dog called Famous, and I asked her to stop to snap this photo. Even though her clothes are so casual, she looked so stylish and was so far ahead of most of the ladies in showbusiness, as far as fashion was concerned. She was one of the nicest people that I've worked with, from inside or outside [the industry]. A great lady at all times, she possessed class and great beauty and was always compassionate to the dispossessed and needy later in life, with a heart of gold. She was so giving that everybody that I knew loved her - I didn't know anybody who didn't love Audrey Hepburn." Sid Avery

Happy Birthday, Joan Crawford 

(March 23, 1906 - May 10, 1977) 

What a sweet and wonderful thing life is. I remember a line I saw in a newspaper the other day -- 'Some people are so afraid to die that they never begin to live.' And I want to live - I want to know everything and see everything. I want to travel and be happy all my life. I want to touch the stars.
