I'm
often accused of living in the past, but I treasure my memories of growing-up
in a time and place that no longer exists - the mythical land of Hollywood's
Golden Age.
Cinema has in the past and will in the future, shape our culture. It
is a medium that is terribly underrated by most people today. Sadly, the
films and the luminaries who participated in them from that bygone time
have left out collective consciousness. With few examples today, it is
those films of yesterday that hold value for me.
I thought I'd share a few photos of the many I have of some of the people
I had the pleasure of knowing. Most are gone now, but their cinematic legacy
will be there forever for those who care to find it. Some I knew but never
got around to asking (Clark Gable and John Wayne come to mind) - but for
the rest, take a step back in time and enjoy a visit with some friends
and acquaintances who I hope will become, on film at least, friends of
yours too. |
