Happy Birthday to Cary Grant! Born on this day in 1904. What more can be said about Grant? One of the screen's greatest icons. He could play serious, he could play funny, and he always looked damn good while doing it #BOTD

Thelma Todd and as a result, Gus Meins. I went on a real Thelma Todd comedy binge early in 2025. My runner-ups are probably Patsy Kelly and ZaSu Pitts!

The absolutely horrific news tonight about Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, is sickening. I am at a loss for words. We lost a truly great human being today.
