Happy Birthday Joan Blondell (August 30th 1906 - December 25th 1979)
In the 20s, you were a face. And that was enough. In the 30s, you also had to be a voice. And your voice had to match your face, if you can imagine that.

That’s why we didn’t get on. You’ve always wanted a woman to treat you like a god. I treated you as if you were just as bad as myself.

I do not think there is a solitary second when my mind is not completely buried in you. You are really on my brain–I suppose if you happened to represent something dangerous I should be locked up–but no it’s not quite like that. I am not always thinking sweetly of you. I am thinking angrily or indignantly or sulkily, quite often, but I am never not thinking of you. More often than not I am just worried about you, concerned and distressed about my baby lamb being tired or unhappy–and of course often it is with mad, mad passion and sometimes it is naughty, sometimes, only sometimes is it dirty or even sadistic…You are all over me, in sorrow or in joy, all of the time– O yes in drunkenness too, in conversation, in work, with every breath and heart-beat.
Laurence Olivier, love letter to Vivien Leigh

“Design for Living recognized that desire is not divided unequally between the sexes. It can, in fact, be genderless. A place where gentlemen can be women. And women can be wolves. And men can be romantic Red Riding Hoods, wandering through a quixotic forest only to stumble across a beautiful blonde with shimmering white teeth, delicate little feet, and a big, beguiling wit. “The better to share you with,” she will eventually declare, before not eating them whole but tasting their specific Coop and March delicacies with equal ardency. ”

Happy Birthday, Robert Montgomery! May 21st 1904 – September 27th 1981
If you are lucky enough to be a success, by all means enjoy the applause and the adulation of the public. But never, never believe it.
