Dream Thought #121: Choice

September 25th Birthday Boys

 Happy Birthday to all my two all time favorites: Mark Hamill and Christopher Reeve.

Mark is 71 one today. He is still super busy as an actor. I always love seeing him on screen and hearing his voice acting work; I enjoy following him on twitter where he's very active.

Christopher passed away in 2004 at the age of 52; He would have been 70 today. I recently got to see him The Bostonians which he was really good in. If you never seen The Bostonians, you should check it out.

Thank you Mark and Chris for making my childhood and my life extra special.

Happy Birthday Mae West

It is August 17th which call Mae West Day.

She was born on August 17, 1893. She was a star on Broadway before she became a movie star at 40 years old. 

She is one of my favorite classic movie stars. She is what I have called her before: brassy and sassy. How could she not coming from Brooklyn?

If you go through Swan of Dreamers, I have written many posts about Mae. This is one birthday post I wrote two years ago with favorite quotes from her autobiography.

I love this picture from Catherine Was Great that she starred on Broadway. I wish that it had been filmed, I would have loved to see this.

I adore that Mae wrote all her films and plays! That is remarkable then and now. She said she wrote for women;she knew they were audience!

If you have never seen any of Mae's movies, I suggest She Done Him Wrong or I'm No Angel.

Happy Birthday, Mae. You are still much loved!!
