Baby Take a Bow
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on May 21, 2012
It's been ages since we've had a look at one of the wonders of Egyptian cinema, hasn't it? Today, we revisit the glory days of 1950, when King Farouk looked serenely solid on his post-war throne, and Hollywood on Nile was addressing its longstanding moppet shortage by starring the re read more

Birthday Girl Next Door
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on May 5, 2012
May 5 must have been an auspicious date for Twentieth Century Fox - it's the birthday of two of the studio's biggest stars: Tyrone Power and the lovely lady seen here, Miss Alice Faye.
It sounds like an odd sort of compliment, but Faye might have been the most normal person ever to have achie read more

Sic Transit...
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on May 2, 2012
May 2, 1989: In that magic moment, Geena and Jeff knew - they just knew - that stardom was forever, that their marriage was a golden, shining thing, and that in a few hours (after the premiere that they've gotten so dolled up for) their latest joint effort, Earth Girls are Easy, read more

Cover Girl (1)
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Apr 26, 2012
Her name may ring only the faintest of bells today, but 86 years ago today, the tempestuous Spanish star Raquel Meller rated the cover of Time.
She was, in her day, an international sensation, and while her vogue was fairly short (little better than a dozen years or so), she covered a lot of ground read more

I Don't Mean Frisco...
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Apr 18, 2012
Pardon the colorization on this one - sadly, it seems to be all the gods of Youtube will offer up to mark this, the 112th anniversary of the San Francisco earthquake.
Here, of course, we have the potent combo of Jeannette MacDonald and Clark Gable in MGM's 1936 blockbuster film of the tr read more

Invitation to the Dance
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Mar 26, 2012
54 years ago tonight, this handsome couple went for a spin at a little party after the Oscars. Aren't they perfect? Don't you wish they were your parents?
I once saw this self-same couple, a few decades later; they were crossing the Plaza at Lincoln Center, on their way to a show at the read more

Mildred, Fierce
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Mar 12, 2012
This is the reason that Youtube was invented. It may be the reason the Internet was summoned up out of Al Gore's mighty brain. Watch and worship.

Sister, Sister
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Mar 11, 2012
Happy birthday, baby sister - Miss Dorothy Gish is 114 today.
Too often remembered only in the shadow of Lillian, Dorothy had a quite respectable career of her own, appearing in a string of popular comedies in the late teens and early twenties, moving later in the deade into UK-made prestige read more

They Had Faces, Then
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Mar 10, 2012
Sometimes I ask myself, "Have I spent enough time lately thinking about Garbo?" If the answer is "no," I stop and stare at a portrait like this for a while. I really do think one can argue that hers is one of the most architecturally perfect faces known, on a very short list with the lik read more
Trailer Trash: Doña Zarah
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Feb 27, 2012
While we're in a '30s mood (not all that uncommon a phenomenon hereabouts, I know), let's stop for a moment and consider that Fab Fräulein, the lady who put the "Fasc[ism]" into Fascinating, the Prima Donna Assoluta of the Axis Screen, Swedish thrush Zarah Leander. Z read more
Mary Louise, Ultrastar
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Feb 27, 2012
If only she hadn't been up against the divine Glenn, I'd be totally thrilled. As it is, I'm pretty close. There's a joke there, but you'll have to make it. Wasn't she lovely? And isn't she still?
Also, it makes me oddly happy that in private life, she's Mrs. Gummer. read more
Winner Takes All
Café Muscato Posted by Muscato on Feb 26, 2012
As Oscar dawns all the way over there on the other side of this Good Earth, I'd like to take a moment to consider the prize's oldest living winner - yes, it's two-time Best Actress Luise Rainer, seen here in tweeds and faraway expression. "The Viennese Teardrop" is 102 now, and when last seen read more
