Austerlitz and McMath
Love Letters to Old Hollywood Posted by Michaela on Dec 21, 2013
Frederick Austerlitz and Virginia McMath were just two young
kids at first, both setting their sights on fame in vaudeville, Broadway, and
finally Hollywood. But not together, of course. No, Fred started an act with
his sister, Adele, who was considered the star of the two. Together they
studied dan read more
Happy Anniversary, Fred and Ginger!
Love Letters to Old Hollywood Posted by Michaela on Dec 18, 2013
On
December 29th this year, there’s something pretty magical to
celebrate: the 80th anniversary of the Fred Astaire and Ginger
Rogers pairing. On that day 80 years ago, FLYING
DOWN TO RIO was released and movies were never the same. To celebrate the
big day, I’m going to be posting some read more
Being in Love with Holiday Films
Love Letters to Old Hollywood Posted by Michaela on Nov 18, 2013
Thanksgiving is next Thursday, and naturally, I’m getting
excited. However, it’s not the upcoming feast that’s making me happy (although
I would literally kill a family member if it got me a piece of pumpkin pie—with
whipped cream, obviously. I’m not a total animal.) No read more
Hitch's Heroes
Love Letters to Old Hollywood Posted by Michaela on Oct 21, 2013
Something
I’ve always found interesting about Hitchcock’s films is the way he makes sure
ordinary people can picture themselves in the same fantastic adventures his
heroes experience throughout the course of a film. Hitch achieved this in two

Love Letters to Old Hollywood Posted by Michaela on Oct 6, 2013
I was lucky the other day and got to have the day off from
work due to miserable weather. Naturally I curled up on the couch and watched
as many films as I could. I ended up viewing four films, all new to me. They
were PUSHOVER, PERFECT STRANGERS, TWENTIETH
CENTURY, and TIGHT SPOT. This
was the firs read more

someone who you may or may not know: Dennis Morgan. Or if you’re not sure, here’s

The Day I Was Hitched
Love Letters to Old Hollywood Posted by Michaela on Aug 26, 2013
Five summers ago, my mom was given a DVD of TO CATCH A THIEF as a Mother’s Day present. I was just beginning my dive into the world
of old films, so I figured I might as well get my hands on this movie. I
remember very clearly sitting in my living room on a weekend, with the sun
lighting read more

My Relationship with Classic Films
Love Letters to Old Hollywood Posted by Michaela on Aug 24, 2013
Ever since I can remember, I’ve been watching old
movies. When I was little, I was obsessed with THE WIZARD OF OZ. I had a
Dorothy doll, shiny red shoes, the VHS tape—I even went to a "Wizard of Oz"
festival dressed just like Dorothy. To this day, it’s my favorite film.
