lauren bacall and jean harlow, if the thing is still open

of course!

jean harlow -  do you have a garden? if so, what kind of plants do you have? i do! well, not this time of year bc it’s february and i live in canada but whatever. i have a lot of flowers, including roses, daffodils, lily of the valley, tiger lilies, anemones, english daisies, peonies, hyacinth and forget-me-nots. i also have some food plants, but it kind of varies by year. i’ve had raspberries, tomatoes, basil, swiss chard, chicory, green onions, and some other stuff.

lauren bacall -  do you like to read? if so, what are your favorite books? i do like to read! i would say my favorite novels are the blue castle (l.m. montgomery), the grapes of wrath (john steinbeck), one hundred years of solitude (gabriel garcia marquez), jane eyre (charlotte bronte) and anne of green gables (l.m. montgomery)
