Fascinating,
talented, easy on the eyes.
There are a multitude of reasons why these folks intrigue me.
I won't bother listing their career
statistics, since they are rarely very important to me. Usually it is the fact that they are exceptionally good at what
they do,
or have worked hard to be what they are.
And sometimes it is just that they are so nice to look at! |

She
is the undisputed queen of the silver screen.
But there is so much more to Katharine Hepburn.
At a time when it was decidedly unpopular for women to
do so, she insisted on being accepted as the kind of
woman she thought she should be.
Intelligent and confident, she handled her career with
unusual persistence and determination, and became one
of the most enduring actresses of our time. |

June 29, 2003 - I simply cannot refer to Kate in the past tense.
Sweet dreams dear lady. I will miss you forever. |

Effortless.
That's how Spencer Tracy made acting look.
In each of his movie roles, he never failed to
appear to be exactly what you were supposed to think
he was.
He could do more with a gesture or expression than
most actors do with pages of dialog. |

you looked into those eyes, you were never the same... |

They
called him "Jimmy Stewart - Every Man",
because he had that natural quality that made him
seem like the guy down the street.
Whether he was playing a cowboy or a politician or a
guy with a big white rabbit, he always managed to
touch a familiar place in all of us.
You knew this man - he was you and me. And you
couldn't help but like him, especially when he read
his poetry aloud with that cracked voice of his.
He had an integrity you could trust.
That was his magic. |

Was
she a princess?
With Audrey Hepburn, you were never quite sure. But
you were certainly mesmerized. |

My
version of heaven would have to include
at least one dance with Fred Astaire. |

Man
could this guy dance!
Athletic and inventive,
Gene Kelly was one of the
best dancers ever.
And he didn't have a
bad voice either! |

One
word comes to mind
when I think of Clint Eastwood.
Mmmmmm. |
