"Fan for me fan for me, fan!"
fascinating pix of mary and agnes; have never seen them like that.
ReplyDeleteMary's pic is from something called The Great Victor Herbert (originally titled The Gay Days of Victor Herbert; it was her first speaking role) in 1939, and the Agnes one is apparently a still from the Bewitched episode Mother, Meet What's-his-name in 1964... Jx
DeleteWhy does Maria Callas just "look" evil? Seriously, she looks like a Disney villain
ReplyDeleteMy favourite quote of hers: "When my enemies stop hissing, I shall know I'm slipping." Jx
