Cover Girl

Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Dec 20, 2012

While the President is in the spotlight for nabbing the cover of Time this week, 69 years ago today that honor went to Miss Greer Garson, MGM's post-Shearer doyenne of prestige pictures and Great Lady parts. It's funny, for I was thinking of her earlier today; I'm home sick with a very boring cold, read more

Season's Gretchen

Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Dec 18, 2012

Much as I loathe the woman (and that's a lot), I have to give it up:  Loretta Young can really rock a slutty Santa outfit. I wonder how she felt about her days in the stills gallery a decade or two on, when she was a Great Lady And Don't You Forget It? read more

Such Devoted Sisters (1)

Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Dec 14, 2012

I had a feeling that our latest Mystery Picture wouldn't prove too mysterious to the CafĂ©'s clever Gentle Readers, but I thought it was such a charming image that it deserved an airing nontheless.  Dear Norma chimed in first, and quite accurately, to confirm that the two little girls in their read more

Birthday Girls: The Stars Next Door

Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Dec 10, 2012

Many happy returns today to two of Hollywood's most fondly remembered ladies; neither was ever the biggest star - one a second-tier leading lady, the other a reliable character trouper - but both delighted audiences for a goodly number of years, and both seem to have been thoroughly good e read more

Sorry, John Can't Come to the Phone...

Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Dec 7, 2012

...he's all tied up. It's been a shockingly long time since we've thought about longtime Café Bollycrush John Abraham, so when I ran across this intriguing snap, I just had to share it. Apparently it's from a 2011 black comedy called Saat Khoon Maaf (Seven Murders Forgiven), in which our boy plays read more

Accept No Substitutes

Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Nov 26, 2012

So.  I hear people have been talking about her a little this weekend.  That certainly wouldn't surprise her, although the low-rent context might - that was one thing she never was. And God knows, she was many things.  Star - no, for her it can be said: superstar.  Beauty, at mom read more

Cover Her Face

Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Nov 19, 2012

Today, we're used to seeing famous people in disarray - either of their own making (coffee cups in hand, strolling around in torn shorts and sloppy tee-shirts, heedless of the telephoto lens) or of the relentless photographers' (that startled, universal expression that just precedes a more definitiv read more

What Becomes...

Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Nov 16, 2012

For no particular reason except that it's a lovely thing, Miss Swanson in Blackglama.  The artists who worked on this campaign were both extraordinarily sensitive to the personalities of their remarkable sitters - initially, at least, legends indeed - and as heavy-handed with the retouching as read more

Birthday Girl: Bright Young Thing

Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Nov 13, 2012

I think I could be forgiven had I been tempted to save this particular birthday girl to use as a future Mystery Guest.  Would you have connected this rather alarmingly coiffed, mildly Tallulahesque denizen of the '20s with Maude Findlay's sharp-tongued factotum Mrs. Naugatuck?  But it's read more
