Monday Serenade: Louis Armstrong and Danny Kaye
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Jun 15, 2009
Here's Louis Armstrong and Danny Kaye singing When the Saints Go Marching In in The Five Pennies (1959). They play well off of each other, but I think Louis Armstrong can't help but dominate this scene with his blissed-out charisma. read more

Judy Garland and Liza Minnelli
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Jun 10, 2009
I’m celebrating Judy Garland’s birthday with this 1963 clip from the Judy Garland Show. In it, she and teenage daughter Liza Minnelli sing, dance, snuggle and joke in the most charming way. I can’t imagine seeing such an easy and natural display of affection like this on a read more

Today I've been fascinated by this gallery of Never-published photos of Marilyn Monroe on Life.com. Most of the shots are from a 1950 session in a park, just as Monroe was starting to gain attention in bit parts. They show a photogenic, but somewhat timid starlet (though look at the determination in read more
